Bewley going beast-mode... Just unstopable.
Not the best performance by Kamyshev, but he does lack a lot in hills - more of a pure cobbler, suited for Roubaix. I'm sure we'll get that fixed eventually  |

Congrats, Roman.
Nice to see young Tobyn Horton attacking and eventually finishing on respectable 17th place. Kluge´s 19th is not such impressive, but in this competition we can´t expect much better results.

Bewley 
Interesting that Bpost can force an impressive selection in PT but does not try in PCT. Vanspeybrouck was again not good enough to convert it into what was possible.
Also Burghardt continues Oz' run of good results. Burghardt again misses the top spot but still it is another great result for them.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Bloody hell Bewley. He's only 28, he could be even more dominant than Boonen.
What a ride by Kozhatayev. Only 22 years old, XP level 3, and he goes and gets 20th! Super happy with that!

Bugger. Burgervan and Bewbastard in top two and fab has a tough day, that said the piss poor cobbled team he has deserves no better.
Onto to roubaix and no need to think of any other better result, Bewley wins but by how much?
Really enjoyed report by the way actually great pics and detail many thanks.

What a rider Bewley is! Great result for Oz too! Visconti even doing well! Im okay with a 22nd here, but once again probably could have done better...

Wohooooo! 
Sam is just amazing, I thought he went too early, but in the end it seems like it was the best tactics, as it even allowed his best helper Polnicky to finish on an amazing 10th place! The first win for Bewley in his career here in Ronde, goal accomplished (my goal was to win this race), big amount of points gained + a chance to complete a tripple of monument wins in a year in Paris-Roubaix. What a race. 
Congrats to Oz Cycling and Good Energy for podium finishes. And big thanks for the report to roturn too, really enjoyed it, especially the video part for important moments like this one is a good idea.

Great report roturn! Bewley is a scaringly good rider, true beast blood. The triple of MSR, Ronde and Roubaix seems to be only a formality.
Metinvest continue to score well in monuments, whilst Oz bid on Burghardt pays off. Strong team showing by BPost but it seems like it's jsut not their season, so far.

Another shitty result for us. Those 76COB riders are clearly useless and I should've spent the money on one with 78-80 instead.

Very enjoyable report from Roturn - think I've said before, but very welcome to see some of the monuments lavished with more attention in terms of reporting depth and detail. Podium no surprise, BPost and Amex representing the PCT pretty damn well too. Maybe this has turned BPost season around given today's response in Corsica stage 1!

Yay! Great result for Blythe - the training pays off. Can't ask for much more than that as Bewley is just so unbeatable.
Brilliant report, so thanks Roturn!

Altur isn't adjusting to the PT circuit as quickly as I expected. Probably should have allowed him to ride some more cobbled races when we were in the PCT. Hopefully he will be up there to give Bewley some competition in a few seasons time.
Thanks for the report!

Great result for us in De Ronde, 4th by Nolf is few places better then expected and Sibilla in top 12 just crowned it. Nice to see that cobble gameplay can handle two leaders sometimes. Yeah, i am actually praising the PCM 
Thanks Roturn for a great monument worthy coverage, really enjoyable read for my holiday Daily check-up. Congrats to Roman, Bewley is in his own league
