Unfortunately that was the same pattern as in Romandie, start off strong, but eventually fade a bit in the end.
Thanks again anyway Shonak.

Also Tour d'Andorra now posted: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1214396
There were some very exciting stages, unfortunately my recording software didn't work properly, so no Videos from me. Especially stage 3, where Aru attacked with 230km out, and stage 5, where there were attacks all over the place were very entertaining. |

Well, at least thank you Shonak. Heartbreak to lose it on the final day after such a great race. KoM small consolation price.

fantastic that finally the Fast-N-Loud train pays off, 3 sprint victories finally...now keep that momentum going for the next races lads!
Yeah it's actually strange, just by their sprinting train power they should have way more stage wins. Here in Switzerland it really worked out, oftentimes I think their sprint train is actually too strong, so their main sprinter goes for it too late.
Aru with some great comeback spirit, too bad for him on stage 1. But super-duper performance by my former boy Nieve to hold up, this GC win has been long coming for Euskadi, gratz!

Well, by just looking at the stage results I was just thinking "what a lame race for us". But then Latour with almost winning mountain jersey, second in YC. At the end that race wasn't that bad  .
Thanks Bikex! |

I think I should start giving more of the hair-dryer treatment to Porte. It worked  . If only he hadn't messed up on stage 3!
Andorra wasn't great besides the 2nd place from Atapuma on the last stage. Was hoping for better than 6th and 10th from him and Monfort in the GC.
Thanks for the reports Shonak and Bikex

We started great in Andorra, but Rabottini lost day to day more time and threw his position away in the last stage.
The performances of Auer and Pöstlberger were nice though.

Still have a soft spot for Pöstlberger having picked him him up initially before letting him go. Good that he's doing well

Me too. One of my favourite riders and important part of my dominant sprint train in the first two seasons. A shame that someone ruined his wage due to targetting him as new WT lead sprinter and that I needed to sell him due to that and because I needed the money elsewhere
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Pöstlberger is the Paulinho of ICL, random dude ending up with silver at the ORR. Definitely a carbon sports original.

Alrighty then!
Ospina with one of the great solo wins, alone on a mountain stage is beastly Decent GC as well. Then Andorra...
Stage 1 Siskevicus with a good performance for second (good to see two of our colombian pure climbers 12th and 16th in the leadout lol) but then Nieve just holding and holding and holding then taking time then holding out for the win. 8(!) podiums and two 4th places to show from a goal race, no less.
One win and a GC and we haven't even done rheinland yet

^ Okay!  Can never expect too much from a junior team in a race like that: having said that you sent a quality team there so a bit unlucky that other junior teams leave with a stage win and a KOM jersey. Eh, there is always the next race!
Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt done. A slow start, but a good finish for the more active teams there. |

Our problem in hilly races is that our punchers are too bad for a good gc place but apparently too good to be allowed to go into a breakaway. So it's always Baer, but unfortunately he is even too bad for breakaways.
Thanks for the reports The rider.

I think I can be satisfied with this results, but hoped for more from Nowaczek/Komisarek duo.
Thanks The Rider! |
