TOP 10! Brilliant week for us here with a team of domestiques, and Sütterlin had one of his rare great days too. Doesn't matter that we missed out on the win, I gladly take this.
10th for Bevin, 25th for Niu and that stage result give us nearly 100 points total, I would've been very happy with just half of that. Maybe this will finally get the Oceanic teams interested in him?
Niu with 19 points as an unmaxed silent auction rider to waste our last cap space on definitely my favorite rider of the season so far.
Just as SotD announces his break, Festina sweep this race! Congrats mate from a fellow moaner when you read this.
Thank you cunego for another excellently reported race, including the TT which you found a great innovative style for.

Some amazing reports. Very fun to read. Unfortunately, we don't get much out of the racing in the end. Keep moving forward.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy

Had hoped for slightly more going into the TT, but on the other hand, I would have been very happy with such a GC placing from Galta before the race started. All in all that makes for a good race, eventhough we were very, very anonymous.
Thank you for the reports! |

Not exactly what we had in mind coming into this one, hopefully Slagter doesn't have too many results like this one as we were looking to him to provide the highlights of our season.

Top 20 and other minor final results is perfect in a race that could easily have been a 0 pointer.

It ended up being a sympathetic result for us with Figueiredo rising to 6th place and Trofimov to 11th. It seems as if Figueiredo has taken the place of team leader with both Trofimov and Borges failing to perform.
Thanks for the brilliant reports cunego. And congrats on the victory SotD!

Well, losing the "tie" for the final podium spot is terrible Not in terms in points, because at the end it's not a big difference considering the U25 win and some stage results, but a very disappointing race in general with the passive mountain stage

Better race than we expected.
Teklehaimanot managed a top 15, Denz third in young riders and three in the top 25 gave Kraftwerk third in team.
Thanks for the great reports and congrats to SotD.

Solid final TT from our stacked TT squad, although overall quiet and low scoring race (as per usual for the team this year)

Lost the KOM lead, and didnt have much GC wise either, so in the end a pretty poor race for us.
