Milan-San Remo. Wow. I know we sent a weakened team but for no-one to go near the front or even try an attack in a WT classic is just unacceptable. Boy van Poppel, please come back
At least I know that my planning isn't a total disaster - ICBC and Cymru both recording victories while Heineken and Carlsberg continue to struggle their way through with weak squads. I knew TCW were strong but Fenn also had a lot of race days available for a sprinter of his quality. He'll be racing most CT races he has a chance to do well in, so my apologies to the competition if he becomes this year's OP continental sprinter.

3th and 4th in København is really good, additionally two guys in the top 20. But if you're so close to the win...

Yeah it wasn't finished uploading when I posted it. Those longer vids take some time.
Gent - Wevelgem posted too now, it should be up in a few mins here: https://www.youtu...e=youtu.be
Spoiler And yes, knockout, Sagan crashed hard.

2nd Nice!  Love to see Terpstra attacking a lot and surprisingly coming 2nd in a sprint.
Seems like Terpstra and our support can't all perform on the same day though  Thought we could have a great run with so many riders in the group with 40km left, but all dropped back to relatively low positions. Thanks for the video/results Shonak!

Follow up a good performance with a terrible one Turgot working on the front with 50km left when he should be trying to make the final group, is annoying, Terpstra pacing in the front group was just stupid though, killing himself for the finish for no good reason. Can't really complain after a podium though, thanks again Shonak

There is one cobbled race in the whole season that suits Sagan a lot more than GVA ... 
I like the team tactics in E3. Sagan and GVA playing the anchor to let the other one of them save some energy. Just a shame that they don't know how to position themselves for the sprint ...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Thomas crashing out in E3. Wonderful.
Phinney coming his usual 6th in G-W. Satisfactory.
McLay showing more fight in one race than Stannard has in four years. Priceless.

E3 was complete bullshit, Van Keirsbulck is hurting everyone on the cobbled hills, the next moment he gets himself stuck behind some breakaway riders. Vanbilsen saved the day there.
Good thing we still have Gent-Wevelgem, perfect positioning in the sprint by Guillaume, top performance there!
Just realised I managed to win this race both in MG and ICL!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Now look at those results from my point of view and tell me how I can't be frustrated about Oss having a very high sprint stat for a cobbler and not even trying to sprint in E3. Won't even talk about the disgrace that was G-W.

Yet again, we should've really sent the B-team to those two races. Lindeman and Van Emden largely anonymous in both while Theo Bos has finally gone from underperforming CT star to the world's worst WT sprinter. Happy to see Koren get in a break at G-W though, and 24th from Van Baarle is good enough for us. The new recruits are certainly proving to be better than our established team right now.
Kovacic is certainly developing well for Celesio, looked to be one of the strongest at E3 before eventually falling back on the final few attacks.
