Minor scare on stage 4 but hopefully we can avoid any slip up and we can claim a 1st and 6th in the GC. Shame that Dennis lost a spot in the GC but we'll take all the pts we can get, even if its less than we originally wanted....
Thanks PCM

Mottin loosing time obviously wasn't in the plan but as long as Laizer can keep himself up in 2nd ts good

such a disappointing race for us so far on the flat stages. We have a bunch of guys nicely placed in the GC, but Haller and Reus have been incredibly disappointing.
Really not what we expected but hopefully stage 5 is different |

12th in the GC. Eh, I would've signed for that before the final stage. Turchi giving us some -25 points as well.
Feeling really sad for CycleYorkshire though, I'm pretty sure everyone felt like one of their riders deserved to win this.
Grats to Yellow Jersey for the surprise win though! And thanks tsmoha for the reports  |

Sorry for that missing screen of the split. Really tough luck for Robert and all others dropping down. Overall, not the most enjoying comeback for me with stage race reports.

Oh, wow
You've got to feel for ryant and cycleYorkshire. Almost everyone will be on the receiving end of something like that throughout the year, but that is so, so harsh.
Pleased with the points haul from Mullen and Hacecky in the end, moving up a couple of places. But when those places are gained from something as unlucky as a random crash in the pack, it's more than bittersweet. Mullen's youth victory was also nice to see, but not unexpected. Hopefully he'll manage a few more of those this season.
Regardless, thanks for the reports throughout tsmoha, the detail included was fantastic!

Shocked with the outcome, I feel for Ryant that was very harsh.
Never nice to win something this way but can't take off credit from Laizer, he still did superb and overdid my every expectations
Mottin in the crosswinds, Uwizeyimana and Rinner in crashes, i gotta say i'm a tad disapointed with how their GC ended up. Obviuosly overshadowed by the final day crashes, but I am super happy with our FIRST EVER GC win, and it came out of nowhere and Laizer has made his season already.
Again, thank you tsmoha for the great reports, and congratz to all who came out of the race with a good outcome.

I feel really sorry for ryant there, terrible luck For us this was a nothing race (literally) and so very disappointed in us here, not even a breakaway appearance. Congrats to Andorra for the win though and big thanks to tsmoha for some great reporting throughout!

Well, this is not the best way to get into the podium. It really sucks for ryant
It was close also for Agostini to be in the bad side of the split, but he could save it and gets those extra 16 points for jumping to third in GC, making our points tally in this race to go around 85 points, which is a total success for us. 
Also, missing on the GC win by only 6 seconds has made me wonder where Agostini could have gained those seconds... Well, i'll focus only on stage 4, where Agostini lost 4 seconds on a intermediate sprint he didn't win, so at least he could have finished second, and maybe if had celebrated a little later, he might have not lost that couple of extra seconds... But i'm only dreaming

Jeez, horrible to lose the race in the last kilometer after having this turn-up and full control over the race almost throughout all 5 days. This sucks big time. Then again, I am always surprised how PCM keeps delivering on us random wtfs season on season. Racing never gets dull, really.
Gratz to Andorra, great success. Salleh btw definitel yman of the race, either winning in absurd ways or killing dreams.

Loosing the KOM jersey on the final stage. Fun. So done.

Wilson Marentes!!! Azteca getting points on a course that is just awful for our team. Just a massive result for us and our plans to promote. Thanks for the reports, and what I thought would be an awful race to read quickly became entertaining and valuable!

Sprinters are bust. But somehow, we now have three riders in the points! Cue, two of them losing truckloads of time on the last stage. Also, why's no one trying to get into the break? Could've been quite useful. I think around 15 points is the most I can hope for from this race...
Called it!
Once again, no one going into the break. Sprinters being mostly useless. Such a strong flats team not even trying to do anything! I'm starting to question my team selection in these sort of races now.
Congrats Yellow Jersey on the win
Incredibly tough for ryant. A horrible way to lose the GC. Hats off to PCM for not giving time gaps when they're clearly visible in most cases and giving this massive gap for a crash inside the final kilometers 
Thanks for trying to make sense of this clumsy race tsmoha. PCM never makes it easy on the reporters!

Congratulations to Andorra Cycling Project (Yellow Jersey) on the overall win and maybe one day we will not lose our leader to a crash and make a challenge for honours |

little bit of catching up to do I see,
nice to see what can happen when we bring the full sprint train, I know I can't expect that kind of domination everywhere they go but it gives me hope that they will at least be competitive for the rest of the season and that Salleh can continue to add to his seasons tally.
2 stage wins and the points jersey is a nice haul of points for us to takeaway from this one, it's not the top 5 goal we had for the race but it's a good race from us none the less.
Salleh seemingly saved the GC for Robert before costing him it on the final stage, first by sprinting to close a gap to make sure Robert kept the jersey then by causing the crash that brought him down and caused the split that sent him tumbling down the GC.
