Haven't been so active but I'd like to say I've enjoyed the reports for the race!
Pleasantly surprised that Tvetcov didnt disappear like he did in Trentino so I hope that it is an omen for the rest of his year, hell I hope theres some crosswind action in the last stage so we can grab a podium!
After a few disappointing races, this seems to be a decent race for us. With Rowe's mandatory win for the year out of the way (which I hope we all love to see jandal  ), I hope that we can bag another decent result in the last stage, as we're still in the race for the green jersey.

Well I've said all I have to say about this race, except for once again thanks a lot tsmoha for some very good quality reporting throughout 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Finally! It's over! Valls with his already 5th win of the season - and i think only Bewley and Swift have more so far. 
Exactly what i was hoping for in the final stage to finish as high as possible in the Points classification, although i never expected to share the win, which give us a few unexpected points.
At the end i'll get from here 132 points, with obviously 99% of points coming from Valls (5 points for 16th in GC of Serrano, and 1 point for 8th in U25 from Prado), which will help us massively in our promotion run - when April rankings are posted, i'll have a 120-points gap to the 7th (which is the first team without secure promotion) which the team will have to administrate in the horrible May that await us. Also, I'm now the team which has scored most points in C2 races this season
Thanks for the report tsmoha!

Thanks for some great reports.
What a weird finish to the last stage, but nevertheless nice to see young Joni Kanerva already grabbing his first stage top 10. Thouhg we were mainly here for XP gathering I'm very happy with how things panned out with a stage win and a couple of youngsters doing nicely in breakaways.

Wouldn't you just know it that Costa would give up on sole 2nd place in the KOM Some minor points gained everywhere in this race. Gotta make everything count. Bardet and Battaglin also gained a position each in the GC. Once again, we have a rider between positions 26-30
Congrats Aquarius and lovely reading once again tsmoha

Ah Vila making our trip to Malaysia worth it! (I believe it's the first ever victory in MG history by an Andorran  )
Congratz Aquarius for the GC victory and tsmoha for the brilliant reports! Keep'em coming

We assembled quite a nice stack of points here. De Marchi and Hacecky did well.

It's a little bit disappointing that Salleh's home stage win still eludes him, but getting the opening Prologue win, and a couple of days in yellow, along with the Youth jersey after an impressive display by Ahmad Zamri is definitely a nice points haul to make up for it.
Sorry I wasn't very active with the comments after stages but I had no internet over Christmas due to work and travelling to be with family.

Hell yeah! Krasnoperov second and Meyer in green. So what if it's tied. Second in the team standings as well. This season is gonna be so more interesting if Krasnoperov and Meyer can keep this up!
Thanks for the resports tsmoha, see you guys in Burkina Faso  |

Thanks so much for the fantastic reports tsmoha, amazing effort by you over the Christmas period.
Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for myself, it's been quite busy over the past few days. Overall, pleased-ish with Langkawi. Mullen, Bennett, Hochmann were all disappointments, but Penasa was solid.
Hope the April standings still see us near the top

Great reports, tsmoha! Love the graphics included in there, especially the banner with the stars featured.
I came here solely for the XPs of my riders. I only hoped a little bit on a good result in the prologue by Leung, which he delivered. Additionally two more poriums for the break and only a close miss on the points classification, is much more than I could've asked for. As GT leader I sent Peilun Wu here. I believe he won the white jersey in this race in my debut season. But with the climbing depth of the CT, I couldn't expect a very good GC result from him again.
Congrats Aquarius, Valls really seems to rock the division this season. Makes me remember Rodrigues' season in my first MG year, Valls might come close to that. |
