Actually clever AI? Using the stronger engine to attack and weaken the group, whilst saving the quicker finisher? It's like we planned the team around that set-up! We asked the boys to do something, that's certainly something 
First big win of the year. Shows we've got the fundamentals right, just need more luck to keep delivering consistently. Pushing onwards, still plenty more opportunities to win!

Not too bad to see Sibilla get 16th despite a puncture. Too bad he did have a puncture though

Decent race. Wisniowski with another good performance, happy to be on the podium here. A good performance from our guys all around, with Wurtz in the break and also Rowe getting some points. Congrats to TMM on a great victory.

So that determines it: Kulppi won't be absolute cobbles leader next year. 51st just isn't good enough for him!

Congrats to Win Ambition for a really smart race finished off in style.
Daniel taking second place is great, although it got really close in the end. I'm really happy to see he's working in PCT now. WCC scoring nicely is enjoyable too.
Kamyshev reminds me of my Nick Nuyens times, what's the point of that fancy red stat if PCM keeps cobbled races bunched up more often than not...

Nolf with a really strong day, but thanks to even more useless cobbles AI, has nothing to show for it. Fantastic. Surprised Cominelli had such a good day. Breschel on the other hand needs a talking to in the team bus. He's been anonymous the entire year so far.
Thanks for the report and congrats to Podium Ambition, but this cobbles season flopping almost guarantees our relegation unfortunately.
Edit: This AI was probably better than some previous races, but a look at that profile tells me we shouldn't be bringing 15 guys to the line.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

15 points!  That's what I call success! 
Kaspa taking 26th is a pretty nice ride from him, actually makes me wonder if on the hilly stuff he can hold on for a top 15, but I doubt it. 
Decent racing although the group at the end was probably bigger than realistic - thanks for the report Aquarius!

Don't know what the AI complains are Burghardt attacks and Thomas sat back incase it came back together. It came back together and he won. What's the problem?

That was good AI and it was certainly pretty good, just otherwise the comment that you probably would've expected the race to be more selective with such a harsh profile.

Great racing from Podium Ambition, congrats TMM.
Pleased that a couple of my guys actually finished given the mass abandonment.

Bazzana going into the break and surviving for the last 5 points is pretty cool

Nice to see Thomas winning, and that AI slowdown helped to vault Okbamariam into 7th, which is a great result for Eritel. Also good that Ariko snuck into the ranking point positons, alongside Debesay.

I mean, Kamyshev has a lower acceleration than Bakari
A race like this, only second to Roubaix in cobbled KMs, should never end in a bunch sprint of 15 riders ranging from 82 COB to like 75. So no, I don't agree that this is clever AI. Pretty bitter about 9th place here, but I reckon that 30-40 points lost will not hurt our promotion chances too much. But if this shit keeps happening in every race points start adding up.
Congrats TMM, thanks Aquarius.

At least Albert was mentioned somewhere in the report unlike the previous cobble races. His performance is a bit disappointing but it's closer than before. We still have some cobbled racedays to go so there's still hope.
Congratulations to Podium Ambition, and thanks Aquarius97.

Altur got caught in a bad posistion here. Did the best he could given the circumstances. Ramon Domene is having a pretty successful, under the radar season so far as well.
Congrats TMM, well played.
