Nice to get a prediction right, congrats to Roman. Nothing for us in the end which is a bit of a shame but pleased that Ngock Ngue was going great guns. Thanks for the report hoyle.

Wow Bewley, so strong  Was rooting for Ngock Ngue but was never gonna make it, especially with Trofimov's attack on the Poggio. Gratz to Roman and thanks to hoyle for an amazing report

Very good result for Metinvest, with two in the top10 as we hoped for. Shame that Grosu missed the podium by such a small margin, after he looked fastest besides Bewley in last few hundred metres, coming from nowhere to the camera shot. But 4th is still great for his first maxed MSR, the race he has to win one day. Especially beating Demare is sweet. 
Ignatiev once again showed his class with 8th spot in the finish, which in total brings us something around 260 points, thanks to another two finishers in top50. That is very much needed to leave the last spot in the rankings and kick in the rise prior to the classics.
Bewley with a rocket finish to spoil the Pokerstars fun, congrats both Roman and beagle. If Grosu had finished third, we could complete a czech management MSR podium. 
Thanks the_hoyle for nice, dramatic report!

Emberassing job we did in a prestigious race. Thanks to Pat Lane we don't need to write a letter of apology for our invisibility. These wildcards are thought to offer chances, not extra rest days.
Gratz to Becherovka and thanks for reporting, the_hoyle!

Thanks for thrilling report t_h and congrats roman for (un)expected win.
My team should be rename to "Team Degenkolb". Without him, I would fight in battle against relegation with uncertain result, I think.

Basically everybody beat Demare, that's no accomplishment.
Can you really beat someone who's not even trying?

Decent from Ponzi, happy with 6th in a race not totally suited to him. Shame he couldn't get in the top 5 though as he was so well positioned. |

When he is not trying because he is afraid of loosing...yeah, you can.

Great report. Bewley again a step above competition, hard to argue with that class but Degenstache came close enough. Strong performance by Van Stayen but I get knockout's disappointment at Gold Van Avermaet.

*reads report*
I demand a re-run - you forgot to put Orange in the startlist...
*checks results*
Wait... nevermind 
Vichot once again better than Schreurs in a hilly classic. What a waste of money. |

17th is obviously not a great result, but I'm very happy Ginanni attacked and got so far. Shame most other puncheurs meekly followed the sprinters to the slaughterhouse.
I wonder whether Bewley is even capable of feeling happy after a win any more. To him it must be like brushing his teeth.

Nada from the Red Bullers Holloway just was not there - Degenstrausse almost getting another one over the Bewbastard. Keep fighting the good fight people. Nice to see mixture of hilly men and sprinters battling here, even if it is a shame they leave it till the Poggio to really go.

The worst ever MSR for us, which is a shame as we really love the race. Coppel tried, the others sucked!

Another great performance by Yuri Trofimov, too bad Ponzi and/or Ignatiev didn't joined Trofimov and Ginanni on the Poggio. I believe with an extra man they could all have been on the podium, but Ponzi and Ignatiev are not riding like they used to anymore, back in the days under the guidance of legendary manager rjc_43.

A complete waste of time for us, with Vanspeybrouck in 40th as our best result. The stamina on some of my guys just clearly isn't good enough.
Bewley predictably dominant, congrats.

Quite funny that Keukelerie actually has same stamina as Degenkolb, who surprised me doing so well with just 73 in that stat. It seems that stamina does not have much of an impact even in longest races...Grosu was 4th with 74.
