Don't think we got into a single top 13 across any table in those reports and wouldn't be surprised at all if the same went for 26. Very disappointing compared to 4th in the GC last year, but at least we probably got the same amount of points as then Nice to see Gaviria deliver the goods for the men in lime and thanks a bunch for getting the great reports done even through the holidays cunego

Nice to see we've been very competitive in a race where we probably shouldn't have been. Cullaigh grabbing a stage win was superb and McCarthy overperforming to grab 5th overall was great to see and a great improvement on last season!

Obviously a better stage result or closer to the podium would have been nice, but he at least tried and always was concentrated and up there trying to beat the punchy sprinters.
Barbin was of good support apparently, which is good as well.
Congrats Croatia. The Gaviria, Lutsenko combination was a bit like a cheat code, nothing wrong to not beat Gaviria on the semi hills if Lutsenko is working for him.
Just a quick update to let you know that the full results have now been added to the reports. Only very minor discrepancies in the points classification, with Demare being 4th instead of 5th (Sagan therefore 5th) and Kemboi getting the final point in 8th instead of Coquard. Everything else was luckily correct, including all riders in the second group on stage 3.
It's quite disappointing that Mohoric couldn't hang on to the favorites' group there but our depth scoring here with 4 in the top 30 and top 2 of U25 classification will still bring us some good points. Thanks for the reports cunego!
Very good reports cunego59, especially stage 3. We were lucky we had 3 riders in that second group at stage 3 and we finally have some time gaps: Hallelujah.
