Getting 16th on the stage probably is a pretty good indication that Chiarello’s GC spot is about right, still somewhat dissapointing tbh. I have definately shot above the target when I made our expectations for him. Giannoutsos very poor, I really hope it isn’t an early benchmark of what to expect.
Regardless of the poor GC we came away with more than expected due to a great composure from Coquard who is already halfway towards his season expectation.
Great reports, albeit a tad too long for me to actually chew my way through it all. Massive investment into the Man-Game though, which is always extremely appreciated!
Congrats to Evonik for finally landing the GC win. It was a bit bumpy, but that’s how it is to have Lecuisinier :-)

Not sure how to feel about it. Winning the race was kinda expected after seeing the startlist but we did so without a lot of points along the way. No stage win, taking yellow at the last possible chance, ..., not ideal. But we won at least and ive already said that the final ranking isnt too crucial for us this year outside of goal implications (and not getting dragged into a (unlikely) relegation fight. So a win is a win and i'll take it.
Worst thing about this is that Lecuisinier has only one more race left...
What is cool is that Lehtinen performed really well
Thanks for the reports. Great quality throughout!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Terrible race for us, Gaviria winning one kinda saved it but not really given the expectations on him and Chamorro.
That said, absolutely amazing reports, possible race of the year in that terms!

Couple days offline or only quickly checking.
In general Olivier did pretty well in a race with some TT kilometers. Still surprised, he was active but not able to follow someone like Sosa, who was just sensational here having lots of + days it seems.
Carboni in the end lost a lot more than expected. Thought 1-2 spots maybe but not that many more. Clearly had a day off here in the TT, which is a pity as otherwise he rode a strong race.
Olivier staying ahead of Pluchkin by couple seconds though compensates this today.
Other than that good to see Bovenhuis in the break but they should have tried a lot more often on the other stages as Einhorn clearly wasn`t worth it to avoid the break.
Thanks for the reports and congrats to knockout even though his performance was not as strong as supposed.
Morton on the other hand did really well here. |

Quiet and uneventful race for us. Fighting for a podium in U25 is definitely short for what we need, but that's what we could get.
The reports were outstanding to say the least, so there's that. Thanks the wonderful job, Fab!
And finally congrats KO. You could have expected more but a win is always a good result I guess

Indeed one final outstanding report to finish this anonymous race for us, but we obviously couldn't have expected more with a team like this. Pira with an 88th place on the stage today was the best we could have asked for 
Congratulations on the win, knockout

Thank you for the great reports, all the way through!
Enjoyable race to follow if it wasn't for the fact that we were participating and did absolutely nothing |

As expected Sosa dropped down quite a bit but regardless with GC positions 11 & 15, a stage win, a second place in the prologue and the white jersey won this was a rather satisfying race for us.
Out of 4 PT stage races so far, this is the third in which we win the white jersey and at Tirreno I had a rider at least in 3rd and 4th of that classification. Not a bad quota I'd say 
Congrats knockout on the win and thanks once more for the great reports, Fabianski! |

Huge race for teams in desperate need of points in Huski, De Stijl and cycleYorkshire! Awesome to see them do well here.

That's quite an awful TT from Formolo. It sucks losing the podium coming into the leader's jersey in the final stage, but this was far from a bad race.
4th in the GC is more than I was hoping for. I was hoping for a stage win, but not the in the stage that it did happen. Also, a couple of days in the leader's jersey is quite a nice bonus.
Thanks for the reports!

Morton!!! Pretty good first run out in the Yorkshire blue for us! I know he was certainly in the strongest 3 but with his tendency to underperformed slightly, I didn't know if he was going to do so well. Obviously our team support helped, Carthy being a super dom is a luxury few teams have - although it's a shame he only finished 17th after a dismal queen stage.
PHL is certainly a rider who you expect to win all the races he enters so congrats to Knockout for meeting expectations!
We'll be happy with 2nd a stage win and a few other good stage results and classifications.

Bad daily form in two crucial stages led to much worse result than I was hoping for. What a waste of valuable race days 
Congrats to all happy managers and thanks for great reports!

Madrazo is really worrying me. This wasn't for points, so at least that's good, but still. Congrats knockout on the expected win, but also what a ride by Morton to make it this close! Stellar reporting as always Fabianski, thank you

Just like Tirreno we were totally invisible during Paris - Nice, still the race was fun to follow and what a cool Mountain ITT report Fabianski. Thanks!
