The TTT's going to end in heartbreak for either aidan or me, 5 seconds literally means nothing. I fear daily form could decide the race. Also, Amador with the superior TTT squad could honestly come close if both our squads suck.
Thanks trek!

Holy shit! My first ever GC win! What a way to win a race though with a complete team effort. Can't believe it, it's the probably the coolest race we've ever done. Thanks for some great reporting, trek!
Sorry to Eden for losing a race by 4 seconds, I know it sucks.

Will accept 9th in the GC from Valls given the strength of climbers here. Was not a bad race for us thanks to Bouhanni doing well in the sprints. Thanks for the detailed reports!

I didn't expect much from the race, but to be honest I had hoped that the team would be more visible than one screenshot showing our leader abandon...
Thanks for the good reports and getting the pain over with quickly though

Fantastic report, Matt that must feel good!Finally the expected TTT dominance, looks like your TTists needed 3 months to get used to each other and the new material and now they're going strong
Yeah, congrats Aidan, Ricco surprising here but what a fantastic effort it was. Also nice to see UBS taking the podium spot, not winning here might be the Gatto course

A ttt win is all I really wanted from this and I got it, can't complain about it but it's not like I'm surprised either considering how much better our lineup was compared to anyone else's. Still, PCM AI is a bitch, so I just am happy to have taken this home, thanks for the greatly detailed report(s).
Well it's definitely a heartbreak for Intxausti to lose this in this way after an unlucky season, but I'm sure Eden would have signed for a podium before the race,especially when that happens scoring as many points as Indosat did. Congrats to Aidan though, his depth for stage races is finally paying off after some underwhelming performing by il Cobra!

6th is more than I could have hoped for going into this race, so very happy. Not an amazing race in terms of PPRD, but as a damage limitation exercise it went quite well. And the top 15 streak continues into a fourth month!
Thanks for the reports trek, and congrats Aidan! |

This table says it all:

Yeah, the one guy with any points from the race for us, the de facto leader for us - loses about half a minute. A fitting conclusion to the race for us.
If you want me, me and Valverde will be drinking at the damnthatracewentterribleforus pub.
Thank you, trek. Another close finish: second season it has been decided on the TTT. |

8th place in the GC is basically what I expected beforehand. However, still disappointing to see that shitty performance on the first mountain stage costing us a lot of places.

That was a quite decent TTT for us really and Lowe moves up to 20th in GC which means we will at least take some points home with us from Canada.
Thank you for covering this race trek, wonderful stuff! |

And of course we finish the TTT on the last place. My team was invisible the entire race and takes 0 points from here. I think we weren't even in a single break. Especially for a focus race this is sad. I hope it turns out to be the right decision with Denifl and Kiserlovski and they do well in the Giro.
Thanks trekbmc for the report and congrats to the winners.  |

Well, losing the leader's jersey on the last day wasn't a birthday present I wanted but hey, at least I can now legally rent a car in Australia 
Although disappointed with the final result, I'm glad that it was Telkom that was the strongest and am very happy for Aidan, congrats! It was a terrific race. Didn't think Ricco had much of a chance before the start as his high hill stat would never really need to be used. I expected to see Uran a little more, but maybe he was injured during that fall. Not sure what's up with Amador or the Meiji riders, I thought they'd all be much more involved.
Happy to come away with 2nd and 10th as well as the three other rankings, hopefully now our season can get back on track after Catalunya.
Thanks for the reports trek, they were fantastic.

Thats a good TTT result for us.
Lövkvist doing what is expected and shows that he have overperformed earlier this season. Had hopes for Bjelkmark/Ludvigsson to get a decent GC positions but that did not happen.
Congrats Aidan! And thanks for the reports trekbmc! |

Congratz aidan, you chose a pretty good time to reappear it seems
Cant belive how poorly the likes of Amador and Uran performed though
