Top20 somehow? 
Probably the less suited race for my riders. Nooytens hopefully once with a + day. Otherwise more like 2-3 riders in top60.
Nice preview and looking forward to the report. |

No worries with the rerun BBL at least there result we see first is the correct one for me Young is suited most to this route and hopefully Polanc can pull something out of the bag but a top 20 would be great |

If Blythe can finish 4th here once, he can certainly do it twice?
I hope Daniel will be attentive to help with water and chasing for as long as possible while also being in the mix for maybe a lower top 10 or right nehind that, I liked the way the Ronde played out in that regard.
Thanks for the great preview and for spotting the route issue early enough!

The one and only race of the season where I expect Kamyshev to perform  |

Only monument I participated before this season and such brilliant memories as Boonen rode aside Bewley into the velodrome in one of his last strokes of brilliance.
I kinda fancy a repeat: Bewley riding into the velodrome alone with another Evonik star would be such a great mirror to last season that I would love to see it.
Thanks bbl for a good preview and for writing a third report (crash + wrong stage (?) )

I just want to give a heads up to everyone before I report the stage that from the bugged stage has been changed for a slightly different Roubaix. There shouldn't be any problems as I doubt it would change anybody's lineup at all but I just wanted to let everyone know.

One question, how can change a race from being just flat to a cobbled stage? |

I literally have no idea, I just got the variant from Matt17br. And it's been crashing in the loading screen so I'm even more confused.

The stage wasn't changed, it got changed to a different, similar, variant. Flat rated cobbled stages are because they haven't been converted with pcm 15's editor. You can only do so with a zcts file though.

We're back to a fixed version of the original stage. Also back to square one. About to do my 5th playthrough of the race. Please stay patient. The other races that conflict don't even have previews yet but I know I'm letting you guys down so sorry.

No worries, we know you've been busy getting wasted on Talansky's success in Vuelta. And by wasted I obviously mean drinking lots of  shakes.

The report's done, just gonna make sure the DNF's are sorted out and will post it once I'm home from work.
I was going to wait until the races that clash had previews posted but since I don't have a timeframe on that I'm not going to wait on it any longer.

Fantastic report bbl, well worth the wait for a thriller there. Bewley tho -_- Good to see Burghardt and GVA giving him a run for his money

Heartbreak for GVA. Congrats though to Becherovka - Bewley's almost unbeatable.

What a race, very exciting to read. Nicely written BBL after all the 'technical' difficulties.
We had a Top 10 season goal, so extremely happy that Altur held on to take 10th. Two for two on goals so far this season.
And, Bewley... What is there left to say that hasn't been said already?

Thanks bbl for this great report!
Congrats Roman for this boring Bewley win. Well in fact, it was far less boring than expected. 
And thanks to my team for nothing. 61st and 2 in the 90s is hugely disappointing even if you only have 74-76 cobblers. Seeing couple others performing a lot better, this was crap.
And also congrats to Grieg Eftel. Seems as if Trentin would really give you something this year. |

2nd is the expected good result but it's hard to be 100% satisfied when you're so close to beat the bastard. Congrats Roman!
Thanks for a superb report, bbl!
