Kupfernagel impressing once again here against all the best sprinters, he's another rider having a great season. I don't think he actually did that well when he was in the CT a couple of years ago, so Karcher being repaid for holding onto him. |

Well, this os still a valuable effort from Avelino, but it would be nice if he could outperform those irritating german sprinters

Good work Simon! One last time finishing with the bunch and our goals are achieved.
Gratz to Vantomme! Great tanning this early in June and an imposing sprint.

Korzh and Krasnov are getting better it seems, maybe they can do a top-10 tomorrow.

I never thought I say this, but please leave a break, not dangerous win and get the bonus seconds..
It will be very complicated to keep the jersey in the end of the race, but if this happens will be the cherry on top of the cake to an almost perfect season with regard to the sprinters

Good. Not great, but good.
Stage win tomorrow for the overall and the points jersey please, but whatever you do, don't you dare to miss our Top 5 goal from here on.
You already made a mess in Berlin.

Not much to get here for Oz: Von Hoff at least somewhere in the Top-20 for a couple of days, while Wohler managed one breakaway. Too less bonifications though - but at least no zero pointer with his 27th in the GC.. Gazelle again pulling a result from nowhere 
Gratz, sutty. Also Boonen and Vantomme with good podiums. Must be Vantomme's most favorite race now. Glad to see Avelino doing quite well after his FBD disaster, though a bit unlucky with his stage results here.

It was not in this way that I would like to see the race finish and although it is frustrating to lose the lead I'm not disappointed because the 4th place is much better than what I expected at the beginning of the race...
Congrats Sutty and thanks once again tsmoha...
Ps: This was one of my win goals, is the 4th place considered a near miss or what?

Boonen with a great sprint once again. He always was one of the fastest here but often enough was positioned badly but this time he had a good wheel and delivered perfectly.
Did not believed the GC podium was still realistic which makes me even happier. Even more when I notice that the points he won through the unexpected climbing in the GC are stolen from direct promotion rivals. Beating riders like Ciolek or Avelino is fantastic!
And last but not least:
This season must never end.

Thoroughly enjoyed this race. Not only because of the detailed sprint reports, but also because the gameplay was imo realistic. Also no crashes, which is always great!
On our behalf, I have to reckon it is a good result. It's just that after our misfires on the first half of the season, we desperately need some outstanding results.
That said, it's great to see Cav make a stand here in the Benelux. Congratulations, sutty, and once again, thank you tsmoha

It's a huge compliment that you still consider us to be promotion material at this point in the season. But seriously, Kudos! By this rate you're going to be terrorising teams like Vesuvio or Festina next year

As expected, nothing much in it for us. Two guys top 50, that's all I can cheer for.

Van Poppel really didn't do that bad here considering he's only a 76 sprinter and Cataford again making a break in a race I expected nothing not to bad |

Good race matching our demands. Happy Taramarcaz could join the last break and add extra points.
Gratz to sutty and the other promoted teams completing the podium and another thumbs up for the well-written reports by tsmoha!

An ok race for AMEX-Nizzolo with Kenny DeHaes grabbing 14th (29 pts) and Nizzolo (19th for 18 points.
Could have been better but we are still a weak sprinting team, so we cannot expect top results.

Which is a big compliment as well. Thanks.
I still consider you to be a promotion candidate because you have the riders capable of totally dominating some races to collect the big points. And I believe your top riders also have a bit more race days left as both LLS and Boonen have already raced quite a lot.
Not saying that it will be easy for you or that I still expect you to promote but it still is a possibility.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Think we actually pulled a few points out of this race, so won't complain too much, but I think we need more cobbles.
