4th, Hutarovich. FOURTH. So dang close, but he really is making a case for a renewal next year. I could be disappointed, but a top 5 is way better than I expected.

A nice second place by Guardini there. However it looked very tight to getting that all important win.

Some nice top 10s by Viviani, Vanmarcke and Monfort. Only disappointed by the weak TT by my team, had hoped to get Monfort into the top 10 there. Also Vanmarcke far behind already, he needs an even better cobbled stage than last season to win here. Lutsenko as the only bright spot in the race for the GC for me so far.
Thanks brewers for the reports.  |

The key stages of Northern Europe are now up. Not necessarily as selective as people probably wanted but some big moments changed the race, including a huge abandon.

Van Keirsbulck had a horrible classic campaign, but if he pulls this off all is forgiven and forgotten!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

For what it's worth, I prefer it to be the least selective as possible 
Well magnificent Oss trying to limit the damage as well as Colbrelli grabbing an underwhelming 9th place in these 3 stages. He's now inbetween the SAP sandwich and that's much better than predicted.
Thanks for the pace brewers.

Chavenal doing better than Terpstra, not sure how I feel about that.
Anyway, we're now relying on him for a points gain on Alitalia...
Thanks for the reports brewers

Got to be happy with how this race is going down: eventhough we aren't getting near the podiums. It looks like either 4th, 5th or 6th in the GC and that could see us increase our lead in the title race, on top of that we have been in plenty of good breaks.

Great stage 4 for CarbonSports. Pulling a 1-2 with some decent gaps to the riders behind is great. 
I still have no idea what Senechal is doing. That dude was supposed to lead my cobble team next season 
Shame that Geschke crashed but he still sits in a good position with team mates Greg and Sagan both ahead of him in GC.
Stage 5 saw 2agan taking his 2. stage win. Very cool stuff! Especially with Kristoff and Greg both in the selected front group as well this stage looks awesome for me. 2agan up to 2nd in GC as well with Greg on 4th which would make this a huge, huge race for my team.
Shame that Cance had to withdraw though.
Thanks god I had this as a focus race. Should make for a nice bonus for next season's budget!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Northern Europe done and dusted.

Spoiler Not the worst performance by us with a pretty weakened team. Moses was very good for the first half of the race then fell off a cliff. Dibben almost did what he usually does and was pretty close to a stage win from a breakaway. Too many crashes for us, especially Lavery on the cobbled stage. He looked very strong coming from virtually last.

Woohooow, another win! All in favour of Brewers reporting the rest of the season?

Fuck off this race was going well until stage 7 then Oss just decides to get involved in random falls... what are we Lotto Jumbo of ICL?

Thanks brewers for the quick reports. Ben Swift got in this race almost as many WT points as the entire last season, maybe you should've reported some races already then.
In total the bottom 3 teams all scored decently in this race, SAP with 2 top 10s, LA - Antarte with a stage win and Cymru Wales with a podium, I knew this race would fit Wiggins perfectly when doing sutty's planning. The relegation race is heating up.
For my team not as many points as I hoped for but a top 10 by Vanmarcke is okay. In the upcoming Eneco Tour he should do better. Lutsenko also scoring decently, as well as Viviani always up there in the sprint finishes and 5th in the KoM rankings (wtf). |

Nice for Chavenal to take a top 5 Unfortunately Terpstra was below expectations with the TTs having more of an effect and the cobbles having less of one then I bargained for. Still this will be a good gain on Alitalia and hopefully we can move up some more after Eneco Tour.
Thanks for the reports brewers
