Another decent finish by Narvaez, thought he might get up for the podium but didn't quite get there, a pity since the extra seconds would have been worth at least 1 GC place. GC seventh isn't bad in the field, had hoped for a few spots higher but the TTT wasn't quite good enough. Warbasse very steady to take 13th.
Congrats to Marco, Kinoshita a worthy winner, another great race from EKOI so congrats to KB as well.
Thanks for the reports.

Congrats to Marco on big Kino getting the win and dominating.
Mixed feeling about the race - I feel like 6th is a fine result for Bagioli, but looking at those above him he could have easily wound up on the podium with even one better stage result. Anywho, 6th + u25 domination and a couple of decent stage results sprinkled in is still a very good race. Abdurrahman in 11th is a nice surprise and those points will be vital for us as well.
Congrats again to Marco and TMM for the final stage Lagane masterclass. Thank you for the lovely reports!

Always fun to follow the race when you wrote the preview. I really didn't have a clear favourite, so I'm happy I guessed Kinoshite right. Congrats Marco! Great reports Imladrik!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Really frustrating race for us to follow, with the team just doing absolutely nothing from start to finish. Still a good event with a meaningful victor. Congrats Marco and thanks for all the reports Imladrik!

Congrats to the winners and thanks for great reports.
I won't dwell on it and should have planned for it but that ttt AI behaviour is game breaking for some teams!

Congrats to Marco and thanks to Imladrik for the great reports.
Kraftwerk managed 4th, 9th, 15th, 16th GC and 2nd Teams. A return to decent depth scoring, lets hope we can keep that going.

Don’t really know what Lyu’s strategy was this race 
Think it might’ve involved enjoying the braai on the beach a bit too much in the evenings.
Thanks for the excellent reports and congrats to Marco!

Great stage 1, Lagane mixing it with the big boys!
Felt very close to fumbling the play on Stage 2 but coming away unscathed.
Solid sprinting on Stage 3, and a nnice breakaway ride for Kim.
Expectedly awful on Stage 4 but the team is overall far better off focusing on alternate TTT's through the season.
Back on the open roads Lagane continues to show he's good, but not a fully finished rider.
And he tops it off win a well deserved win! #BetterThanDemare
