I demand a serious answer as to why Colbrelli can't be better than 37th in a race that suits him pretty well.

Probably the worst tactic ever of Gilbert

Damn, we had a great team for this race, Nizzolo, a bunch of hilly sprinters, Kwiatkowski and Terpstra, at least Terpstra attacked at some point, but it turned out kinda rubbish. Thanks for the report/video though bikex

Nice! Having Sagan & Ciolek pacing on the Poggio turned out to be an effective way to stop attacks

At the beginning of the video I saw a blue armada at the front which got my hopes up, then they disappeared and I got angry. Then Bouhanni came out of nowhere to finish third which is definitely our best result of the season so far!

If we want to be champions again we will really need to up it in the classics as knockout is cleaning up there. Hard to watch Langeveld being beaten by riders who should be on a lower level to him in the cobbles so far.
1 attack in the final 30 km to San Remo. Oh.
Two more races up anyhow: including another win for Wales. Must be the best period for sutty every in the ICL: c'mon Sutty, where are you, let's be having you! |

I'm losing points at other points though. Look at the Toowoomba Kittel desaster for an example of bad luck, bad planning and again bad planning. And that will not be the worst Kittel selection all year long :/
Betancur hasnt really delivered as much as hoped as well.
Good to see GVA taking another classic and once again bad planning to not race Kobenhavn (did not see it in race selection  ) when having Eisaks, Geyer, etc. eligible. Said it before and will say this again: This ICL season has been my worst season planning of all story games so far...

Awesome race by Van Poppel, I was sure he had it but his sprint line was very poor. Together with what looks to be another very close sprint in Dwars Door Vlaanderen, I have to be happy with the points, but disappointen by the margin of which the races were lost.
Keep up the pace guys, terrific job!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Nice work from Siskevicius to grab a top 5 in Kobenhavn, not quite the podium again but a stronger line up. The fact it looks like the team did well for him is great as I sent him, Smith and our youngsters

Not the best performance by Terpstra with just 7th, but 10th and 12th from Veelers and Turgot is nice and makes up for that a bit. Thanks TR!

The kids get to play on the cobbles in Northern France. Paris - Roubaix U23 is the next race up.
Spoiler Stunning ride from Adams. He and Farkas were the only ones capable of chasing after Geissler. Unfortunately, Wachter and Vanbutsel weren't strong enough to help bring him back.
Typical of our history on the cobbles that we still don't get a podium somehow.

Well seems like our guys didn't bother to turn up in both cobbled races, thanks a lot for the great pace of the reports though.

Geissler a beast, Mr. Panama 11th just short of our goal but I'll take it.

Another solid outing for Boom in what was a strong field again in Dwars.
I'm not sure though how much progress I'm making with these one rider efforts in races. But given the lack of depth in our squad, that's the best I can hope for I guess.
Thanks Rider for the report
