Congrats Matt on a big win, especially in terms of the GC, and Heine on likely grabbing the GC win
Didn't expect anything from this stage, but likely ended up scoring exactly 1 point thanks to Reckweg's GC position providing he maintains it tomorrow, I'd call that a success. Thanks Croatia!

Still nothing... And I remembered why I hated flat races with a TTT

Thought we'd do a bit better on the TTT than that.

Thank you Croatia.
Can't ask for more than that. Good TTT by the guys. Won't be leaving with many points though, bittersweet describes it.
Matt cleans house! |

woha, what a GC result
Great to get a win from Kovalev, though I guess Generali got the most points out of this race. I am quite happy with 1st, 7th and 11th

12th is not too bad seeing the TTT, but for the rest this race was not brilliant. At least Serebriakov showed some signs of life.
Thanks for the reports croatia

GC wise nothing, but that sprint from Vanderbiest was very impressive!
Huge credits to Konovalovas though, that guy has been strong this entire race.

There's no topping this race, I'm disappointed in myself for not setting this as a top 5 goal instead of duo differdange, but who cares, this really puts us outside of any kind of relegation fight and at least gives us a chance to achieve the top 15 goal. We'll have to go strong in June and July, in races that suit us such as Norway, which is a top 5 goal and Monterrey which is our win goal, Isle of Man, Nelspruit and Grozny where good performances by our top riders are needed.
Great stuff Croatia, thanks for the enjoyable reports, and congrats to Heine on the GC win, unexpected rider to take it! And gratz hoekie, good win on the last day for Vanderbiest.

Congrats to the winnier..
As for my team, it's more of the same this year is not able to do anything well ...
Even I'm afraid to see the next update of the ranking because I think we'll be very, very close to the bottom of the table.
Thanks for the report

A shame that there wasn't any wind this season, but my oh my. What a great race for Generali, congrats matt!
Also, congrats to Heine. Nice win that. Had hoped for more success for Ahlstrand. A pity with some of those breaks, but at least a points jersey in the end.

3rd by Vantomme a nice way to end this, shame we couldn't pick up a win but 3 podiums is nice. Vanderbiest having a very nice stage, so congrats on that fjhoeckie!
Congrats on the GC win Heine, it's not like it's overshadowed by any other team totally dominating the GC. Gratz Matt
And once again, thanks for all the reports Croatia.

Despite one stage victory and pts jersey I'm a bit disappointed about this race, the breaks made it though. But glad we got 3 riders top 20 GC wise.
Congrats Heine! And also Matt for this good race for you!
Thanks for great reporting Croatia! |

What a GC by Generali. I never did like those races where a single team scores almost all the GC points - We had them in the PT a couple of times aswell, and they can be well and truly season efining. Congrats, nonetheless on the huge points haul.
