Starting to worry there might be no gaps here but if there is on the last stage Moscon is now in such a good position for a very good GC same with Ziga

"Keough trying to bridge the gap"
Those are words I never thought I would see on a hilly stage. Not surprisingly the bridge collapsed.
Congrats to Ezee on a deserved win.

Blast, darn it. We have the best sprinter and therefore try and make a train and start sprinting way too early!
Commiserations. Happens way too often in this PCM...

Cool to see Switzerland's currently fastest sprinters taking 3rd and 4th here - although I'd still prefer 1st and 2nd from Page and Stocker  But always nice to see former riders doing a decent job!
I'm on team Switzerland on this one 
Hoping for another podium for Page in S4.

Great by Carpenter to snatch 2nd in a strong field 
I would say there were some changes in the top of the GC though with Schomber falling from 3rd even though it was expected.

Raileanu was nowhere huh...  top 10 is less than what I hoped for here since I did send as much support as possible here. Thx for the reporting Abhis, onto the next race then... |

Hmm...good to see our guys all there towards the end of the stage, but Lyu just didn't have the juice to challenge for the win. Hopefully that means he's kept some in the tank for the final few stages. Congrats to Ezee!
Zhao, meanwhile, helpfully picking up minor points is a good result. Looking forward to the conclusion of this race, thanks for the reports Abhi!

Good to see us control the race well and get in a good position on stage three, only to do absolutely nothing with it. Hopefully Bystrom can make up for it on stage five but I'm not too confident.

Let's go! Victory for Page after Smit's lead out
This could be a really good race for us, if Carpenter moves up a few positions in the GC tomorrow

Great win by Page, guess he's justified his price tag by now
And he's making a case for getting more freedom - i.e. Zariff-free races - next season

First thanks for all the reports!
Second on the stage, with Mager finishing well too. Then Overall 2nd and the Points Jersey! Of course I am satisfied with that and I am glad they didnt disappoint me
Sure, a tiny little grain of salt is there because missing the overall win by just a few seconds.
Though like said again, I am reappy happy with how it went and how Guerreiro performs allmost the whole season!

Massive shame with the lack of time splits, but we’ll take some solid depth scoring from Lyu and Hermans. Simba again performing well in the clutch moments, this is going to be a very difficult promotion push.
Thanks for the reports Abhi!

Absolute disaster class from Bystrom, no idea what happened but it's not good enough. A real race to forget for us with zero standout performances, hopefully our last few races can lift the spirits a little.

Indeed – worth every penny. Just need to ensure that he doesn’t ride with Zariff next season, as they apparently hate eachother (with the exception of Uppsala).

Very clutch by the team. And while I had noticed that Uppsala could bring lots of points, then Tour of San Luis was a nice suprise, as I hadn't expected such a good performance from the team.
Thanks for the reports!

And thats 3 in a row! just out of nowhere we've turned the corner as a team scoring nearly 270pt+ here and in TOA over the last 7 days just stunning work!
Moscon delivers again in the 2nd half of his season he's got a couple more races yet but should be moving into the top 10 individual rankings there and good to have Ziga, Grosser, both backing up with results wed have been happy with on their own to start the season what a turnaround this is! |

Of course, congrats to you jt! I hadn't even realised your ridiculous depth scoring this race, plus Moscon's top end!
I'm so focused on the promotion race right now, but Cervelo is rapidly making up ground too, could be a sneaky outside chance with disbands in the division(s) above.

That turned out well for Glanbia with Boswell and Kent Main doing well in GC but still if Kennett had fired correctly we could have been looking at a real boost in standings
Thanks for the reports!

Thanks for the reports, Abhi, and congrats to jt for a great race here and in ToA as well!
That's actually a bit of a déja-vu, those two races were crucial in our last season as well (including multiple wins in just a couple of days and a late charge in the rankings). Given you have a pretty similar (puncheur-heavy) team structure to ours of last season, too, finishing 6th in the rankings and promotion should be guaranteed by now

Appreciate that, guys, though promotion talk is a bit too early. Currently, we've only just gone over 800 pts, so we'd need at least another 400 pts. Still, between here and TOA, we've managed to score nearly 50% of our season total up to this point, which probably says more about the lack of top scoring I brought in during the transfer,r as if Moscon isn't racing, we aren't likely to be fighting for the win. Still one can dream and another week like this who knows |

What a twist this would be to end the season
