Not good, not that shit in Campania. 1 top 5 and 1 top 10 is not something I'd throw away, but of course that alone won't let us stay up.
Considering AGR does suit Moser the least among the Ardennes a top 10 is not too shabby.
Awesome pace Shonak <33

Well our teams tactics are terrible but I guess I can't argue with the results 
Kwiatkowski finishing 3rd is a great result  Was hoping for Vichot, Nordhaug, etc. to be up in the front group at least, but there's no complaining with a podium. 
Thanks once again for the killer pace Shonak, and congrats on the win Knockout!

BOOM! Suddenly a wild Smeyers wins our third race of the season!
No idea why he went in the break, but I won't complain
The result is even more sweet after the quite disappointing Giro Trentino, at least Rabottini gained a lot of places in the last stage.

Campania: Best time trialer on the team is 45th. Great.
AGR: Not entirely satisfied by Martin's performance, should do better in the next Ardennes Classics.

Sagan, you stupid stupid thing! Throwing away a sure top 5 can not be tolerated 
You're suspended for one race!
Even without another top 5 this was a great race for the carbon force. Winning an Ardennes classic is sweet and two more in the top ten days a lot Tiesj and Charlie Angel also looked strong in the vid
And Shonak, please slow down. With the terrific pace my season preview looks set to be finished right in time for ICL18...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

We finally won something.
Only Captain America could stop Zoidl.
Any top 10 in the Ardennes is good, so 8th for Simon is a solid start. Kennaugh always turns up for just this one week each year too and almost got in the top 20.
A great day for us.

Oh come on Cance, it would be very apprecciated if you could step up your level a bit.
Thankfully Beuret and Erdin were both awesome and gave us 2 top 10s which makes up for Cances performance at least a little bit.

Thanks Shonak for all those race results the last few days, it's great to see the high pace of the game currently despite me not being very active around here. I'll be more involved from now on again.
Looking at it my team was also very absent the last few races, a lot of underpar results..
I have posted the Palio Recioto results now already.
@Ollfardh: I'm sorry to say this but I still haven't found a fix to the helmets issue yet, I've tried already a lot. |

fantastic racing in Dünkirchen! The allmight Siskevicius taking one and two teams I planned taking one stage so far. A bonus that Looyen is inside the Top10 in the GC so far.
But that's amazing - Siskevicius is just a freakin lovely rider, so happy for my former guy riding for my favourite CT team!

Siskevcus may not have the strength for GC fight but a stage and a day in the leader's jersey makes me very happy, a nice change of pace from our recent woes
EDIT: and another top 5, 10th in GC, 3rd in points: Seems the "Send the Spanish team with no cobblers to cobbles races by choice because they have Superman" gamble worked

ahh Looyen hurts a little as he could've been a few more places up by some seconds...but fantastic performances by the team 
Siskevicius is amazing!
Dev Teams with huge outcome on the cobbles

Awesome work by Vanbutsel, the future Van Keirsbulck
Thank you for another very busy day, Shonak!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Future Van Keirsbulck, eh? Interesting.

Sagan is clearly racing against his manager, you should just sell him.

Very good race by Yifan, it's the first time my future cobbles leader shined in a race. He's making progress. |

Well done by Boom to get 2nd in the GC, on top of a 2nd and a 5th in stages. Bauhaus out-sprinting Lobato on stage 5 , to claim another top 5. A good race for us

Came home from work and quickly did Fleche and Liege before going for a run and heading to university then. Ardennes are posted now. In case not someone else does the others two remaining races, I'll definitely would do them tonight, so that April ends today.
Fleche vid: https://www.youtu...e=youtu.be
Liege vid: https://youtu.be/...
Liege's video is still uploading tho and should be available in about 20 minutes (in case you are reading this already and wonder why the video doesn't work).
Spoiler It's always strange when you do a race and your one rider wins, and this happened the second time within a week now, after Trentino. So that's weird although I knew that Contador was a favourite, and whilst I'm happy he won, it turns into an awkward happyness of the win. I hope people don't mind.
As for the race, Contador was really active and with Gilbert and Mollema, it turned into a three-way battle there between the three former winners of La Doyenne. Excellent team support too by Illes Balears, again. Gilbert on the podium on all three Ardennes is pure consistency, with Purito in decline, this might be his strongest puncheur season yet.
