What a load of crap that is from Nazaret. The game has just taken a shit on me really

Crucial for Shikai to finish same time with most of the rest. Doubt we can fall out of the Top 10 now, but Top 5 might be off the cards now.

Oooh that was too close at the finish there, god damn! Terrific work securing 2nd in GC though, Keizer probably doing majority of the work in the TTT himself too. 3rd in Catalunya and 2nd here, would love for him to be able to climb onto the top step at some point this season 
Congrats fjhoekie, never in doubt. The Moldovan is just too strong, pls nerf.
Interesting finish to the race; Velits finishing in the top-10 after his disastrous start is great to see, and Meintjes climbing the rankings on the last day is great too!
Thanks for the reports too, lovely as ever!

Manfredi only lost a place despite losing over a minute in the TTT. Whew.
Only a few points but we didn't expect much more, at least our main competitors didn't overperform. Thanks for the reports tsmoha! Grats fjhoekie  |

Great comeback by Pluchkin, much needed win here, and dominating all individual rankings possible with him too. Nepom top 20 GC is decent, was hoping for a top 15, but sure, any points are good points.

Cant be too mad at only going down a spot as I think we had the worst TTT team here.
Thanks for the reports

Woo-hoo!!! Delighted that we managed 3RE place in the TTT and so Meintjes can finish 4th overall here, also Tvetcov with a good race in 15th too. This represents probably an overperformance by Meintjes here even after the dismal showing in stage 4. Who knows? Maybe he is starting to pay off his wage a little right now
Congrats to fjhoekie for winning, but with Pluchkin, you can't really say it's an achievement can we?

If Velits wasn't such an inconsistent bastard this would have been good - he would have been 4th to 6th, acceptable. But instead he's delivered way too low for his third HC race out of 3. He's the opposite of what I expected - I thought he'd be boring but solid, but he's inconsistent and not very good (but he obviously could be!). Now I'm very worried about the drop, if I wasn't enough before!
Thanks tsmoha for the excellent reporting!

Definitely could have done with Nazaret finishing higher than 14th in the GC which he definitely should and would have done if it wasn't for his random awful stage 6.
Luckily we still walk away from here with a couple of points due to the depth with Borisavljevic 2nd in Youth and 21st in the GC, Fernandez in 30th and VdB in 43rd.
Still really need my team's performances to improve if we want to avoid relegation.

Argh just 1 second. Second place would be great, third is acceptable though. Congrats fjhoekie and Eden with the other podium positions!
Project Vancouver did work out though, our time trial squad is now top-notch.
Thanks tsmoha for the great reports as always!

Just got caught up - and wow, what an enjoyable ride along with the Kulczyk lads, especially the stud that is Pierre Paolo Penasa!!!
Thanks for all the reports tsmoha, brilliant.
Congrats to fjhoekie, Eden, Marco, ryant for Meintjes' performance, etc.
However, the real showstopper was that man PPP, who not only fulfilled our goal in what turned out to be a very tricky field, but also hung around with one of the top riders in the world (Pluchkin) throughout the mountains. Unbelievable consistency and burst from the man, and love to see him working together with his Italian Stallion of a domestique, Pozzo, and Valls (nice little 13th, though he's been quite disappointing this season overall).

Came here with low expectation, so having rider (in particular Bagdonas) in break almost every stage seems to be good enough for me.
Congrats fjhoekie and thanks tsmoha for reporting.
