Rowe here to represent, though in hindsight it would have been better with Guarnieri here too. Hopefully he can spring another surprise like '14.

Win goal! Or Top-3?
Hoping for a Top-5 though...

We've got everything bar a sprinter that wants to sprint. Top 50 boys come on.

Seriously surprised to see us team get #41 to #46, AI might fancy Kristoff's chances. A top 10 looks doable and has to be the goal here, hopefully Kristoff can give us something to cheer for.
Expecting another battle between Swift and Bewley, and then either Mohs or Lo Cicero will probably need some luck to get the third train. If Bos doesn't demand a train that is  |

Red bull taking the puss with six man team. Smowz hangs head in shame.

Once again, on paper, with Mohs/Stauff/Kluge we should have the strongest sprint train here. Question is, IF we´ll get the chance to build one...
Bewley is the man to beat. Has this guy endless count of race days?
Thanks for preview, looking forward to your report, sgdanny!

Our last WT wildcard race I think. Let's see how Kip does against the WT sprinters. |

I will be happy if my sprinters decide to go for it at least unlike Qatar or Down Under Classic. Always nice for a wildcard race if the team shows some interest. |

Thanks for the preview!
Ignatiev is here to lead the team in his home race and he should try to surprise the sprinters. The lenght of the race could be an advantage for likes of him or Cancellara. Just grab the wheel of Bewley and outlast him Mikhail! Or powerful late attack?

Fingers are crossed that Coppel can do something, but having a flaaaaaat race I doubt it will end in anything but a sprint.

It's time to turn this around! A surprise breakaway victory now and I promise to dance on my office desk (and we're working in an open landscape)
Edit: If my team is not in the BOTD I will kick out whoever set up the tactics for my team :-p Even PCM thinks that it is the weakest team in the race)

Vanderbiest ought to be in the Top 5 here. I'm not full of confidence in that possibility though  |

I would say that there are somewhere between 6-8 better sprinters present, so if he makes a top 5 he would perform very well.

Sorry for the incomplete report, I know it was kinda horrible 
Some photos have disappeared thus not any pictures of the secondary placings, sorry and I hope you can cope with that

Can't be unhappy by the performance from Coppel here. 15th is what could be hoped for, and he tried to attack, which is nice.
Losing Coquard, though, sucks in what could have been a decent race for him. Becherovka closes up the gap a bit to Vesuvio here, so the final part of the season is going to be very interesting.

Well, these races are always a bit random, so will have to take 8th.
Would have been nice to have actually seen the final sprint, besides zoomed out shots of Bewley Main part of the report for a flat classic, and not covered

Third place is way above expectations here from Kristoff!
Very happy with that, and there was some "bonus points" with Holst Enger and Gjølberg go 20th and 21st.
And there isn't much more left to say about Bewley's season. Congratulations, Roman! |
