For those that didn't catch RvV, Vanbilsen has now beaten Summerhill twice in as many tries. I'm getting a bit worried about some of my goals here.

A familiar spot for Baugnies and Strava. Still a good go.
Summerhill finally with the big release (right?)
So congrats Kentaurus!  |

Finally a breakaway, happy with Bernas finally joining one a getting a top 20 for it  Also Gil in 25th is much more than our expectations - minor results, but nice to see them at least trying where we should do nothing.
Another Summerhill win - congrats Kent! And thanks The Hoyle for the report

Most of my riders finished, so that must be considered a great success! Nikolaev even getting us some good TV-time!

The strongest man wins, too bad for Strava and us we lose our goal. That crash cost me my two key domestiques (with all due respect for Gaviria who managed to hang on for a very long time). If Joseph and Van Asbroeck can take a few turns, I feel Vanbilsen could've come back. Thanks for the report!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Great display from Summerhill, congrats Kentaurus
As expected, no points for us here after missing out on the break. Not the typical cobbled result though, with Kump in 4th place and Cancellara 18th. Also some good results for some of the PT teams here.
Thanks for the report, the_hoyle, enjoyed it.

Screw this. The only cobbled race all year I was looking forward to and Nooytens crashes...with Sbaragli likely to have waited for him...excellent...then I could have sold him as well.
Point wise this was not important obviously at least.
Thanks for the report and congrats to Summerhill, who finally wins again. |

Meh a decisive crash, what a shame. Ferreira looked good for a nice result and even places well inside his group.
Anyway another dominant win from the dominant cobbled force in the PCT. Congrats Kentaurus and thanks the hoyle for the intense report!

Summerhill doing it like the race should be done today. The crash made things a mess, credit to my team for being alert and aware, having Summerhill and 2 helpers stay clean in the leading group. After that all up to Danny, and he didn't disappoint.
Once again though, due to the lack of talent behind Summerhill, while we get the win, we aren't the top scoring team at this race. Something that must be fixed for next season.
Great report! Thank you very much.

That went as expected, eventhough Vanbilsen on a couple of earlier occasions has bettered Summerhill. The American left no questions this time around. Congratulations, Kentaurus!
Great to see us put Bugge in the breakaway. That was all we could hope for, and him even being able to run away with 12th place is a nice result, likely to be his best result through the whole season. A pleasant surprise.
Thank you for the report, the_hoyle. Definitely enjoyed it!

Jeez what a race, thanks hoyle for coverage and gratz to Kent. I am incredibly disappointed because this was our only win goal and we came so close and it doesn't matter now, Summerhill's training to 83 killed us.
Still, I'm happy though that the AI keeps treating Strava with love and our depth is also solid again and the team just really works well on the cobblez. Gotta clap myself on the back for that by now. Baugnies and Vanbilsen have made themselves a name really, for what it's worth both teams really put in great performances in every cobbled classic up to now. Maybe Strava helpers could have done some more chasing, but 44 seconds on Summerhill is too much and guys like Tulik probably were flat out empty. Langeveld again a beast, love that guy. Really.

Add to that Gilbert, setting the Bergs on fire like it's 2011  (obviously getting carried away here.. )

Great report, thanks for that!
But I've no idea why my team refused to follow the race plan. It's not that Machado is our uber-super-cobbles-hero justifying five guys to fall back after his crash. Including Schär and Taramarcaz who had their own chances for a top30.
Not only we achieved our first big zero, we still had no indication on the strength of Machado. Now we have to wait for the next cobbles-duty in May.
Gratz to Azteca, Summerhill wins on this terrain are no surprise, but not nearly automatic.

Well, at least we helped to keep the pace of the race high... Result-wise nothing really great...
Thanks for the report and congrats to Kentaurus. PCT clearly dominated by Summerhill, no surprise the most probably.

Great, detailed report there.
Kruijswijk as a cobbler always makes a certain effect to see 
Well, not an unexpected winner for sure, and a deserved one too, but now I wonder if I should have spent the extra cash for Baugnies and Vanbilsen seeing how consistent they are. Looks like Teunissen is getting a training next year then

Wow this went a bit better than expected.
5th, 10th and 11th is certainly okay from a 73, 73 and 71 cobbled stat respectively
Expectated to contend for minor points and instead this happened, quite thrilled by this

Kump is just one of these natural allrounders that can do amazing things anywhere you let him race.

Indeed. Thats why I worked so hard for his signature and paid x2 for him compared to my second most expensive rider 
My most fun rider by far! <3
