FINALLY!
Now I can at least say that it wasn't too big of a failure to go here with Tennant instead of Duo Differdange. A win in style, must've been a really good day for him with that gap 
Anton in 2nd is somehow what we expected before the tour. I'm ikay with that.
Just recovering a hangover from my birthday party yesterday - this is the best possible news in the morning...sorry for being hyped by the first victory in the history of Isostar - Adriatic!

2 riders in the top 10. Good day out. 1 stage left. Hopefully Von Hoff can have another strong sprint and grab another strong result for the team!

3rd overall, the points jersey nearly secured and in the lead in the teams classification : I'm happy with Elta here  Great time trial by Katrakis

When we get the right break we can't win or get back the KoM. Typical 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Yeah, nice race for our Aussie friends from Fox Sports. Nice to see yyoung gun Schultz picking up a stage-win, obviously someone who had been on our watch list earlier this year.

Sadly the split didn't work out, would've brought Tennant in the Top10 I guess. Timmer also into points but Kasa a little down would've also been okay.
Papok and Bole working together for the first time with the impressive outcome of being 20th and 21st. Great job sprinters!

Hopefully after the stage that ruined our race we've used up most if not all of our bad luck for the season here. Safe to say that I'm glad it's over and we can move on to the next one.
Congratulations to the Minions on the GC win and thanks Roturn for the reports, I just hope the next one of our races you cover goes better for us.

Didn't really like how this stage race turned out for me to be honest. Two top 10's are still nice though

It's incredible how unrealistic the AI in short flat stages is. Every single time it's a break/attack taking it. Unbelievable.
That said, congrats Jakstar and Marco for stage and GC wins! Awesome tour for both. And as usual, thanks for the terrific reports roturn.

Catching up after being on holiday.
Great to see the Yorkshire lads get a 1-3 on Stage 3.
Quite pleased I missed this one, would have had no chance in the GC battle.
Congratulations to Marco for the GC win & thanks to roturn for the reports.

Herrera doing good on this stage, quite impressed actually. Godoy okay overall, but very disappointed about Hung.
Pretty shit race for us really, but, oh well, C2-races aren't our main source of points anyway |

Stage 1 - Time trial so never good for us. Nelson and even Ewan decent though.
Stage 2 - Positive, we made a powerful sprint train. Negative, we released too early and gifted the win away. Points is Points though.
Stage 3 - Wtf was that finish?! Simon should be winning a finish like that really, but Points is Points though.
Stage 4 - Wtf was that finish!? Ricki baby, f*cking 41" pulled out. Victory Points and Leader Points. I'm liking CT sprinting so far!
Stage 5 - Momchil back to work in a break, good stuff, and then pulls Ivanov up the climb! For a non-GC and non-Climbing team we did exceptionally well on that mountain.
Stage 6 - No sprint, but climbed a GC place. Ok...
Stage 7 - We don't talk about TT's, but defended the GC place.
Stage 8 - Again sprint positives in our strength, shame the chase f*cked it up. But, and say it with me, Points is Points.
GC - 5th is fantastic for Ivanov, great ride! Yates just missed the T10 but that's still very good for him. Robov inside the T20 also good from him.
Points - Damn you Ricki, couldn't get that one point?
U25 - Damn you Simon, couldn't get that 25"?
Team - 3rd for a non-climbing team, not bad!
And we seem to have stopped crashing!
