Well, doesn't seem like we'll leave with a lot of points unfortunately. Ponzi and Domont are nit doing badly but the rest is dusappointing. Maybe we can still get lucky on one of the remaining stages. Thanks for the videos!

Two great performances in two great races. Gougeard winning a stage in the Vuelta from the breakaway, and Geniez being close to a top ten. Schauls' all-roundness got him in the yellow jersey for a while in Avenir. Keep it up!

Suntory Vuelta Bardet Watch
| S14- | Great teamwork from Olesen and Castillo protecting Bardet up to the final climb. Chapeau to Aru who attacked early but Bardet is just too strong. Stage win Number 4. | | S15- | Viennet and Bravo join Olesen and Castillo pulling Bardet along the valley to limit the break to 3 mins which Bardet overhauls with an awesome climb to get mountain points on the penultimate Cat 1. He then breaks Konrad's heart by pipping him to Stage win number 5. | | S16- | Viennet on the front again chasing down the break. Chapeau again to Aru and Polanc taking it to Bardet but The Beast is just too strong. Stage win number 6. | | S17- | The breakaway robs Ewan of max points again, Bardet looking good for both Points and Mountains competitions. Congrats to Marco. |
Bardet The Beast in unstoppable form. Deserves one of these 
Crochet slipping to 5th in Young Riders.
Sevilla lead the Team by half an hour! Suntory still second.
Two hilly stages and one last big mountain between Bardet and his first Grand Tour win.

If you thought Bardet was dominant in last update, well, look up yourselves  . Meanwhile sprinters denied opportunity again. Congrats to all big scorers as there are quite a few. |

Great racing, and thanks for the awesome coverage! Polanc did a very solid job for us, though he clearly is one step below the big stars of the ICL!

No sure why this keeps happening to us in stage races. Dombrowski again losing 18 minutes on a stage and it's a disaster for us!

Thanks for the great video coverage, dominox!
Nice result for Birch on the final stage, good sprints by Wagner. And of course, the stage win by Cuming. Not luck in the KOM race and Ruben Fernandez was slightly disappointing. 16th in the end, only thanks to consistent top 20, 25 results, never managed to impress in the mountains.

Nice performance from Domont on Angliru, almost got himself into the Top 10 there. With the peloton unfortunately only allowing breaks on sprint stages, we go home with less points than we hoped for. But that's life I guess.
Thanks for the awesome coverage dominox!

Quentin Van Heuverswijn getting 6th on Stage 21 I think counts as one decent break performance which was pretty all KBC could expect.
Great recovery from Aru but could never fully make up for that one ugly stage.
Thanks for the reports.

Suntory Vuelta Bardet Watch - Good job there wasn't another mountain stage!
| S18- | More great teamwork from Olesen, Castillo and Hepburn guiding Bardet up to the final climb. Crochet taking over on the final climb and giving up on his Young Rider ambitions. Aru too strong for Bardet this time, agony for Hirt caught within the final kilometer. Congrats to krisa. | | S19- | Bardet isolated until Castillo comes up to support him. Hepburn joins on the descent then Alitalia start to drive. Bardet follows Aru's attack on the last climb but starts swinging with 1km to go! Not a good sign as Aru wins again to cut Bardet's lead to 5mins 1 second. Closest teammates were 32nd and 57th on the stage, all that work taking its toll. | | S20- | Bravo and Hepburn work on the flat, Olesen leads the peloton over the penultimate climb. Aru attacks at the base of the Angrilu, where's Bardet? Crochet again buries himself for his leader but Aru has over a minute with 6.5km to go. Bardet closes to 30 seconds but as the gradients rise Aru pulls away, back to a minute with 3km to go. Nervous times in the Suntory camp as the gap continues to rise, Bardet manages to limit it to 2min 9 seconds. Barring accidents he has won his first Grand Tour. | | S21- | The breakaway wins again, congrats to javibozada for this and the Team win. Bardet secured GC, Points (by 2!) and Mountains jerseys |
Bardet The Lamb in the last 3 mountain stages, he needed a good deal of sliding room to hold off the charge of a rampant Aru. Need to seriously consider some recovery training.
Crochet managed 4th in Young Riders.
Sevilla win the Team by 45 minutes! Suntory second by just 45 seconds!
Thanks again for the super videos dominox, amazed you can produce such good coverage so efficiently

Brutal Aru performances! Happy with our 4th place in GC and third in teams. Would have been nice if Pulido was a bit stronger.

Thanks dominox! Happy with 4th for Pintzopoulos in Richmond that should make him gain some positions again in the World Cup. In Qinghai there was always going to be only one winner.
Also a late congrats to Suntory and Bardet! I'm happy that it finally worked out for him in a GT. That one stage were my team challenged him with Konrad and Koladozhagh was quite cool. Happy with their achievements as well in the end! |

Goob job from GVK! Maybe next year I'll put him on full World Cup track again.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Silvio takes another one!
Kudos to Engeldinger for staying with him to the line, and once again the sprint training proves to be crucial.
This was MUCH needed with Equinor right on our heels lately, I hope that win gives us some breathing space over Zilioli and Guardini.
It's been a while since the last rankings update and I'm very much looking forward to a new one, but regardless of what its verdict will be, this will stay tight right until the end.

Looked very close between GVK and Sagan. Congrats, Ollfardh! Still, yet another excellent performance by Sagan.
Stefan van Winden 13th. I was thinking of letting him go at the end of the season since his brother is retiring, but he got some good results this year and is really fighting for a new contract.

Kreuziger's possible last leading opportunity in his career, and he did okay with a top-10 Can't ask much more from our pensioner!

I don't want to pressure you Shonak, but are we still gonna get the last few stages of Course de la Paix?

nice to see my riders still motivated after reaching a safe promotion spot
Engeldinger got in the end a great season, and I'm still waiting for a WT race where he is sitting in 3rd, and another CT.2 stage race where he can really do well. Phinney absolutely the added value for our team compared to the first season.
