An anonymous bad race for us. Need to do better.
On the positive side: It was also a below average race for everyone else in the title fight.
I'm quite jealous of Akers action here in the final. Exactly what i would love from my team tactic wise and they are getting multiple strong results out of this. Congrats there and of course to Indosat too. Gaviria showing who's the boss.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Not quite a top 10 we hoped for but considering it's PTHC we'll take the points from Einhorn

Wow, super happy with that result! A massive result for us with a podium for Kragh and a top 10 for Salby 
Think we played it very, very well in the final kilometers, I even started believing Konychev could make it to the line. Very positively surprised to see Kragh get third from a pure sprint. Must tell a story of a demanding finale, assuming his energy combined with his flat stat helped him both position and sprint well.
Congratulations on the win, Eden! |

Exactly what I asked for from Vermeersch, very annoying nobody else joined in the attack which obviously doomed it.
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

The hard racing probably favored Dainese a bit here and really happy to be on the podium with our train totally missing. A nice bounce-back after the weak results in Deutschland Tour!

Big result given the competition

More than happy with 7th for Willwohl, excellent result for him in very difficult company. Commiserations to the unlucky managers either getting caught by a split or their sprinters not in the right position. I maintain my dislike of sprints but it is what it is.
Thanks for the report and congrats to Eden!

It's clear by now that Groves is completely broken in those flat classics - not a single Top 10 in two entire season, please tell me how on earth that is possible... But 43rd is yet another lowlight. If this was his farewell race for us, it's really not a worthy ending, as it doesn't reflect at all what he has done in those last two years. He's been an awesome stage race sprinter - but somehow really the wrong guy for classics... Whoever gets him next year should remember not to send him there - or to boost him a little bit 
Congrats to Gaviria once again, great sprint there.
