Obviously very disappointing result from us in one sense. You see Conci get 6th and Kamna nowhere to be seen, and it sucks. Kamna has not had a overachieving TT yet this year. But in fields this deep, that's just what's gonna happen sometimes I guess.
Obviously we failed our goal miserably, but in the end Eg's consistency was very nice. 14th, 16th, and 25th isn't so terrible on the PTHC points scale, so we don't walk away empty handed. Not enough to stay on promotion pace, but enough to not embarrass ourselves.
Thanks for the report and congrats to Eden on the big win!

Super strong performance by Keizer, a shame he forgot he could go for the GC in the previous days. Love to see Dunbar in 2nd in GC, and happy for Puma with the great tt win by Ganna
Thank you very much for the great reports, Ulrich!
4th and 5th was probably the best result I could've hoped for honestly when I was thinking of what we could achieve heading into the last stage considering the position we were in. Even better considering that both Fraile and Oliveira didn't drop great performances at all here.
Congrats to SN for the win, Wirtgen really is a beast and good to see a former loanee do well!

Only 3 seconds of 5th in 8th place is tough for Mano. I'm also rather disappointed with my depth scoring with a few riders just outside the top 50. All in all the July hilly TT races didn't really go to my liking.
Thanks for the reports Ulrich and congrats to the winners!
Loved Ganna's fighting spirit here! A great TT wouldn't have sufficed with such selective hilly stages, but he utilized his allround skills to perfection to achieve a very respectable GC result considering the pressure of defending his title.
Thank you Ulrich! I hope SN sees his team delivering in their main focus area.
