Well, only 2 seconds is the gap and now I'm hopeful of something special
We need a stage win and the GC for us to have any chance of a top 10 finish at the end of the season I think, but we will see

Kinney defends his 6th place, with Milan and Weiss with 7 points each. I think we scored enough points to gain ground on Carlsberg but I'm not yet convinced we clinched place 4.
Thanks for the reports roturn and congrats Löbauer and Geschke on the victory.

A little disappointed in the last stage, but JTL protects his 2nd place in the GC and we already took a stage win so everything went well enough, although we didnt quite perform in the sprint stages...

No title. But PCT in 2017. I assure you, this team is only just getting started. Been a good race and a great season.

Podium Ambition had a good Ruta America del Sur and went up into the pole position again. Then again they have finished their season now and need to hope for a low scoring Ferrero race in Zuri Mezgete...low scoring Ferrero in a hilly classic...highly unlikely hence they remain favourites for the CT title as it`s only 37 points differential.
Kraftwerk also in Zuri Mezgete but with a bigger gap, which might be hard to close.
Chiquita and Carlsberg following on pretty safe promotion spots then ahead of Isostar and Mol, who still fight for the 6th and 7th spot.
Ticos, La Poste, Sauber as last top10 teams while cycleYorkshire despite their late performance won`t climb any higher and might even be passed by Xero again.
At the bottom Löbau obviously with a strong del Sur but remain on bottom 5.

Tight at the top!
Was quite pleased with R-G securing 4th on GC here, as was not 100% sure before the race started if the hills would suit him. Seeing the points list above though, demonstrates failure from his team-mates to properly back up with appropriate point scoring results. We also failed to meetg our sponsor stage win goal .
Let's end on some positives though, nice reporting (particularly surprised by last two stages in one day!), and top 15 in team standings looking more secure now with just one race to go.

So our season is over and we should be finishing the year in 12th...
Would have hoped for better but aside from Tvetcov, we havnt had enough points from the other riders... Will be an interesting off season and it looks like theres a good battle at the top, will be interesting to see who comes away with P1

It was a shame to se Hugentobler lose some GC spots but that is very good scoring form this race for us, far more than I expected to get.
