Big GC for Mohoric, Top10 is what we aimed for here. No U25 which was to expected with Herklotz participating though. We would've liked a stage win here, but Ginanni was just better.
A shame about our minor riders though. Both Kratochvila and Pernsteiner far below expectations in a race that could or should've brought them close to a Top 15 at least.

Looks like PT almost dominated the race, so that's a great thing from a PCT team pov.
What a beast is Herklotz now. First race as maxed rider, he wins. And what a month for Puma with Demare winning a lot of stages in Giro. Can they even be in the title fight? I guess Demare has very few RD's left (if he has) so all depends on how Herklotz does in La Vuelta for them

Tough race for us. The mountain stage was a real letdown. My best rider finished 2min behind riders with 1-2 MO less than my 3rd best climber. Fortunately there was the TT to limit things.
Congrats cio. As expected Herklotz delivered.
And thanks for allhe reports Tamijo. High quality as usual!

Little disappointed in us failing to win the TT and not finishing top 5 in the GC, which was what I probably expected coming into the TT, so coming a few seconds short hurts a little.
Still, a few good stage results and 6th GC in a PTHC race is good enough I guess, but with Meintjes losing 1:30 to the people around him meant we've tossed away a 4th place GC here... 
Congrats to cio for the 'miraculous' turnaround there...

Not what I was hoping for here, with Shikai way down in 19th. Really was expecting better but maybe I put too much stock into the mountain stage.
Thanks for the reports!

Have forgot to comment here!
Congratz again cio (starting to become tired of saying it  )
Very dissapointed with Slagters performance here, he was way off his form on all stages really. Nothing to write home about here.
Thanks for the reports!

Shame Kangert messed up his GC by staying with Ginanni in the mountains, but that was a calculated risk and sending Ginanni sure paid off. Amazing performance by the Italian here with 2 stages, 10th in GC and 2nd in points.
Thanks for the reports Tamijo!
