No breaks for us... *sigh*
Agreed here if we are not in the break we will obviously struggle with this team |

It's impressive on how stages that are perfect for Sonnery, he disappears like he's just entered the Bermuda Triangle. Roll on 2015! |

Oh well, 2nd place isn't that bad. Great lead out by Mora. WHY COULDN'T THE GAME DO THAT LAST STAGE? |

Well, that was shite. And yet, it wasn't even our worst recent performance 
Thanks for another set of fantastic reports tsmoha. Can't begrudge you your inevitable promotion in any way with the amount of time you put in - even if it looks like coming at my expense |

Polivoda is an incredibly valuable rider for my team. At the team for only 60k wage, could probably have been 50 if I was smarter during renewals, he is a constant points-scorer in C2 races, and now also here
This race had some ups and downs, it's a shame Efimkin was shit, but Ulanowski and Polivoda compensated everything.

Not going to celebrate this slightly lame win. But it's cool to see Daspuntsag experience what is probably going to be the highlight of his career and of Mongolian cycling in general.

I wasn't expecting much here, but with nothing from Southland as well it's really been a poor period for us. At least Ndbri showed himself in the king of the mountains. Our form needs to pick up as a team though, as more of this will see us relegate. |

Fairly quiet race for Bibby but at the end of all, 3rd in GC of a HC race is a good result.

A rider like Daspuntaag should never win a race like this, it was a really disappointing AI performance. Nonetheless, it was a good race for Gazelle and Mongolian cycling.
Our only highlight was Redecker finishing 2nd and showing some promise. He'll be a pretty nice punchy sprinter some day. I guess Augustyn's 15th isn't too bad. It's better than Panayotov

Plus he was the most aggressive GC-favorite here, actually

It`s a bit similar with Ford`s podium in Taiwan 2 years ago, isn`t it?

Taiwan? Iirc, he finished 2nd behind Serebriakov (?) back then. But it's indeed pretty similar, even more to Ford winning the ProTour-race FDB Eire in the same year Didn't feel like celebrating this one, too.

Just checked. It was Krasnoperov? So a 80 climber and W. Ford was 3rd as only non climber ahead of Sicard, Gadret etc. |

Sums up the race really. Most aggressive GC rider but still felt like not a lot at all.
Sauber won a race last year after a 20 minute solo breakaway win, if that's what you're thinking of.
