GVK finaly winning something for us again. Should keep track of all the classics he has won, he might be close to having won all cobbled classics at this point.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Tour de l'Avenir - Gonzalez and Gochashvili in 2nd and 3rd GC waiting to possibly take the top 2 spots. Another reminder that selling Zanni was a mistake! Meyer has been disappointing, good to see Padilla in the top 10 on flat stages but Mane (Sp 71) is nowhere, I am guessing he is on chasing duties.
Thanks for the reports Shonak & Bikex

Avenir has been really disappointing so far. Jansen the top favourite but not even in the Top 10!
Degenkolb in 10th is ok, but could've been better.

De Gendt destroys the field in China glad KBC didn't use any race days there. Been a while since I played PCM15 but don't remember the time gaps being so big.

Only minor points in the Chrono Tour for us, as expected. Thomas was 6th in the final stage, I thought it should suit him, but he lost too much time on the first two stages and finished 25th. Dowsett was terrible, as always, 56th in the flat ITT, beaten by Thomas, Stannard and Meyer.
Tejay with a good race, plus his good Vuelta so far, CCC hasn't given up yet!

Pretty good start for Tejay in Vuelta and good results in that ITT race. Looking forward to finish this season. Thanks to all for all that hard work.

I don't think at this point it is even mathematically possible to stay in WT. TVG would actually have to win Vuelta itself, few stages. And for the rest of classics my riders would need to overperform really hard. |

Fantastic work from Durbo and the team. Vorobyev however very weak. But happy that the huge ITT investment paid off here.

Takes 3 stage wins + GC + mountain clas. Still finds reason to complain.

There was a mountain classification in this race? I said I'm very happy with the race but Vorobyev was a disappointment, you can't argue with that

As expected no points in the TT race. dominox I'm not sure that you are completely out of it, if TVG scores big in the Vuelta you could still manage it, as I won't be scoring much anymore in the remaining races.
Thanks for the results!

Freddy got two U25 wins under his belt, but I feel this team should do more. In the off season there will be changes

Mathematically it must be possible for CCC to stay in the WT. But as it is, Sugoi curently has riders in 4th and 5th in the Vuelta, so that gap might not shrink much. Majka will do his best to overtake them both!

Looking through a couple results, its quite cool to see such a strong version of Geyer. Also that GT/GC talent seems pretty good * checks name again * another german named Kittel...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Very nice Montreal win for Wackermann but doesn't make up for the awful luck to crash in Quebec

Both my riders made the cut, but they're in the same heat now, not sure if that's an advantage or disadvantage.

Stage 15 wasn't great for Aviva, Majka and Hart underwhelming. Though Majka moved into 5th and Tao still has a decent advantage over Kudus.
Our terrible sprinters were lucky to both to ride against only two opponents in round 1 and both qualified for the next round. Schorn made it into the QFs as well and it's not impossible to even go another round.
