One og my eye is smiling the another is crying ... Really wanted that top5, failde barely, but in the another hand, Cattaneo and the team did good in the other rankings.
Thanks for the reports Nemolito and congrats to the winner  |

Darn it, was hoping Senni could still gain a bit with his TT skills. But an ok result for him, thanks for the reports and congratulations to a very strong Adam Yates!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

For a secondary option Konig performed better than the primary option in Preidler. Guess I have overpaid the Austrian too much? The good news is that the team scored some points that could be vital for the survival battle.
PS: thanks for the reports

As expected nothing really happened from my team's perspective on the final stage. Mottin has yet to score a pts from TTs this year.
Congrats to Farfetch who just keep winning
Thanks for the reports Nemo

Ugh, kept 5th but only 2s away from 3rd. Luckily Dees and Krizek got into top 50, and 2nd in team ranking will provide some extra points.

Uran threw it away yesterday. Absolutely fuming to lose the podium by one second. He could've won this race if he just held on yesterday...
Thanks for the reports Nemolito, congrats Farfetch on dominating the PCT.

Wow, I didn't expect that at all! First time we've completed a win goal since 2013 I think, and obviously a huge result for extending our lead at the top of the rankings. I tried to use Yates more for the MO/HIL hybrid races this season and after an inconsistent start this was just the result we needed.
Thanks for the reports Nemolito, a great read throughout! |

Massive congrats to jph for building an absolute monster of a team for this season. Whilst our scoring was far from optimal, we gotta be happy with every point that isn't coming from Kump this year.

First points in a TT stage for Kittel this season. This time at least he has the excuse of being the last stage after several mountain stages.
Dunbar sadly only gained one U25 spot, and didn't climb enough in GC, but Roson held on to a Top35 to end his great race where he takes his first KoM jersey for the team (and his career ofc).
62 points in 7 HC days isn't great, but it's not dramatic given the team sent here. Kittel should have done a similar race to Paillot, and we could be looking to an score on the 3 ciphers. Things won't improve in Pologne, as iirc we send there a very similar squad

A very unsuccessful race for us, as it was to be expected.
Still a very entertaining race to follow. Thanks for that, once again, Nemo!
And congrats to jph. A very successful season so far!

Another great podium from Schädlich, and Nerz squeezing into the top 10 is a great result for Kraftwerk.
De la Cruz adds quality depth with 12th in GC, shame we couldn't get another rider in the top 30 for a decent teams result.
Thanks to Nemo for more great reports and congrats to jph, a super season in the making.

Not sure how to feel about this one... Need better results in our Eastman races, especially without the absolute monster PCT riders in the race. Didn't help that Chaves who should have been one of the better punchuers did nothing on the two stages for him either.

Guess I have to be happy with 7th here from Dan Martin given the strength of the field and the fact he isn’t the strongest against the clock. He actually showed some good ability in certain stages too so hopefully he can build on this and start to really score some points for me as we need them!

Quite a good result from Guldhammer and the team. Happy with this race, even though I had hoped to take the last seconds on the TT

Thanks for the reports, Nemolito! Excuse my lack of posts (been out with a certain virus  ), but I've enjoyed reading them
A half-decent race for us overall. Good to see Gallopin and Bonnin in breakaways collecting KoM points. Bonnin getting a second place on a stage and second in the KoM classification is certainly the highlight for us. Uwizeyimana with a decent overall race, but had hoped to see a little more from Scarponi.
Congrats to jph!

Some strong racing from Padun here Kind of a shame his TT capabilities are so limited, but anything uphill and he's a really exciting little rider
