Have to say I thought there was another GC stage, did the race use to be 8? Decent GC result from Areruya and as is becoming his theme I love the aggression, hopefully in PCT next year he's a little higher up the pecking order and those attacks can stick more! Have really enjoyed him this season, hopefully in Lombardia he can do well enough and make a memorable goodbye to the Pro Tour.
And the good thing about no more GC stages is it secures Penasa's great finish - love it, now onto Wilco to bring them home and secure it in Emella I guess!

I would've happily taken this result at the start of the season and I'm still happy to take it now. In the context of having an outside chance for promotion, we probably needed Alarcon to drop a few places less in the final stages. So might be one of those "what could've been", since he was flying high in 3rd place.
I wasn't sure MAL had enough climbing in him to win this race tbh, but winning that first hilly stage gave him a great boost and he never looked back really. Congrats knockout
Incredible race from Penasa! Saved the best for last. Received good support from the team as well and glad we can pick up some minor points from Talansky, Raileanu and Zoidl. 4th in Teams is also a decent achievement. This is a big boost in the relegation battle although we're not out of the woods yet.
Congrats to knockout on the convincing win and thanks to LLS for the great reports
5th is at least something here...though without a lot of big stage results and the early time loss, it really should have gone better here as 2nd behind Lopez was definitely possible.
