Not what he had hoped for. Arndt fucks up the TTT and gets a couple of minutes behind on stage 1. And despite being listed among the favourites in the hilliy stages, he gets nothing out of it. Also no breakaway atempts by him. Fraile also dissapointing for such a type of race.
Well I hope it gets better soon, as this is a survival year for us and we really need to stay in PCT!

Congratulations to lief for a great stage win (and GC podium) and Eden for taking the GC win! Also thanks to Ulrich for some more of your always great reports!
It's been a good race from APP who's doing really well in this hilly stage races. 5th is as good as it could get for him as long as we don't have a better TTT support, but finishing in the points in all hilly stages shows he really is made for this kind of race.
Good stage from Dunbar, did everything he needed to do. So happy that after a few tries now he has finally managed a decent result here - the TTT team is always a worry but am glad it worked here. Dunbar needed to deliver after the fuck up in Norway (and Bagioli upstaging him ), so very glad that he has managed to take home the GC
THJ was huge in this race and is rewarded for such good performances. Oomen was quiet, but not many riders can say they’ve had a quiet race and still achieve a great GC result like that too.
