Awesome last stage! Very tense and a great solo by Madrazo! Exactly what he needed to come back in GC and end his season in a positive way. He might have saved his place in the team here.
Also impressive overall performance by Phinney; congrats jt.
Good job on the reports Croatia! They were all very high quality.
Tenorio slightly underperforming, especially in TT´s. I don´t understand, why he didn´t have any single good day this season yet. The positives: he managed to stay on his bike through whole race! Pity Faiers faded in last stages, his 13th overall is still pretty nice though.
That was one of the best races this season so far, hopefully Kritskiy will take this great form with him to the Tour. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you Croatia14 for the stellar reports
First of all, I apologize to having gone awol for such a long time, I had important things at university the last month and I knew I had to cut off daily and other internet things for the time to stay focused on that.
Not as much to talk about here as in Switzerland.
Bongiorno with an invisible start to the race as always this season, but stage 6 really was a good effort.
Sadly he could repeat that on the last (crazy) stage and dropped to an anonymous 15th overall, not below, but also not above his abilities.
Bar couldn't do anything in the sprints, breaks were mostly without Puma riders too, that's basically it.
Grats to RBC who certainly had a heart attack or two on the last stage there, they can use every single point they can get. Good job by Madrazo though giving him a run for his money after being pretty far down already.
Thank you Croatia for good reports too. All these scattered groups didn't make reporting easy.
