Still too annoyed to think about how we did. Love Wyss and loved the reports as ever tsmoha is all I will say

11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Well Vila sure knows how to choose a break, he's no sprinter so I'm not disapointed with 4th. At least I got to see a glimplse of the team.
Congratz Maxime and thank you Tsmoha for the great reports!

Can't understand why we can't join these type of breakaway where they always get away with the win  I mean, we have no sprinter, neither a top GC rider...
9th + 13th with Gilbert and Cunego, and ofc the breakaway takes away the 30th place of Marcato...  Despite the win in Tours, the start of September has seen a step-back in our promotion run.
Thanks for the great reports tsmoha and congrats to maxime for the win

Aquarius, maybe Repsol should use their domestiques on helping Gilbert instead of co-ordinating attacks on Xero riders - such a one-man team they clearly care more about Valls winning individual than making their actual rankings rivals crash

Okay Chaves did mostly what he was supposed to do here, no stage wins, but consistent riding throughout the race allowed him to take 2nd in the GC and probably a good chunk of points for stage placings.

Othman did well to grab 16th GC after Zoidl crashed and got injured before the TT. 2nd in the KOM and Youth standings also adds some small bonus points to the tally, even if it isn't a great scoring race, as far as damage limitation goes it's about as good as we could have expected.

Disappointing (but not surprising) that the final flat stage went to the break, otherwise would have been two on the podium for WCC sprinters.
Overall obviously been a stand-out event for In-n-Out, congrats. WCC not gaining voermany points, but R-G deputised in the absence of Boily quite competently to claim 10th overall.
Thanks for the nice reports throughout.
