Galvan Ramirez really making me (and Abhi and Ollfahrd?) proud! Only three guys stronger in the break, not bad for a level one who'll never really be a leader. Thought he would have gone down in GC, but he actually climbed to 23rd. Decent 17th by Beltran on the stage

Very strong ride by Johannsen and Skjelmose was there with him longer than I expected!

Getting caught up... Seeing Matteo dominate makes this season of suffering all worth it. The future is bright with our budding American superstar!

I did NOT expect Christakos to finish on the podium in this race. I had an outside dream of him making the top 10, but was pretty content with him somewhere between 10-15th helping Arensman to 7th or so. So to finish 3rd is a great achievement, and he has secured himself a massive training, come time!
Congrats on the win, and comisserations to Pidcock and Ardila. That was just a pathetic show, given the expectations. Ardila obviously absolutely horrible.

Stöckli and Novikov tried but even getting in the breakaway is tough amongst the youngsters. But they gained experience, that's what this was all about.
Thanks for the reports Abhi and congrats Mre!

Super happy about the outcome. Securing a Christakos Top 3 with Arensman in at 10th. Best Team aswell. The collabaration with ELCO was a good one

First of all a big thank you to Abhi for the great reporting in this Avenir. Also congratulations to Zwift for a dominant performance here.
Was happy to see Beltran in the break this stage, fun to see the little battle between him and other Pollo Galvan Ramirez ending in Beltran's favour.

Sucks that Remco lost so much time in the last stage. He'll come back next year to fight for the win though
Thanks for covering this, Abhi. And congrats to Mre

Skjelmose in the break and top 15 on GC was a nice surprise. next year should be a lot of fun.
Not a great l'Avenir for us because of Forssell's struggles, but a great l'Avenir to follow! COngrats to Mre and thanks for the amazing coverage Abhi!

Our first big Avenir achievement, awesome job by Tesfatsion to get that mountain jersey! Really cool to follow him through these last two stages, thanks a lot for the reports Abhi!

So, 2nd place it is. That one definitely comes unexpected, given Schmid's relative lack of TT skills. But he did a great job elsewhere, and for a moment there even was hope for him to claim the green jersey during the last stage. It wasn't to be, but taking 2nd in this race is a big overperformance - and clearly his best one this season. Whereas Mäder's 3rd place two years ago could be more or less expected, Schmid's podium took me by surprise - a nice one, of course
Congrats to Jorgenson, great job to win this one! And commiserations to all those who should have done way better than they actually did - sometimes this game (or this version?) really sucks. I have the impression that there are more random underperformances than we're used to see, but that might just be a feeling. Fortunately, no points are involved
Thanks for bringing us the race, Abhi!

Thanks for the reports Abhi. Glanbia showed themselves in the break a lot and that is all we could expect.
Great to see Jorgenson doing better than McNulty managed and congrats to Mre.

Thanks for the reports!
Quite race for us, a bit of breaks, some good results for Berthet - I'd have loved to see him go into a break, but well.
