Oh come on. Fuck this crap. Getting a better cobbled setup has been cocks and bollocks. I guess this will be the last season I even spend a remote period of time bother with it.

Too early for me to ask for David, or perfect time? 
Congrats to the Bastard on another win, Moser living the sweet life right now I guess, as people have said some more Sagan magic in the Ardennes would put them in an amazing place. Thanks for a very nice report as well Aquarius

Perfect time. He was already close to leaving before this season - Now I don't think I want him anymore. I don't have the possibility to train him, when having my frenchies and if he isn't going to be trained, his stats are pointless. With a bit of training he could be the next safe top 3 bet. So yeah - just hand me an offer when the offseason starts

Nice report, thanks for that. 
Not the greatest race by PCM, not a very selective race and not lots of attacks overall, especially with GVA not trying anything, although cool to see Senechel and Zepuntke to do well. Congrats Roman of course on the win, not a common occurrence for you.

Excellent race for us. Bewley unbeatable as per, so second place is the best we can hope for and Fenn came through really well for 7th. Thanks for the report and congrats to Roman.

Not entirely happy. GVA did nothing all race long and I don't like being beaten by Senechal. But a podium completes the medal set in the monuments this year which is sweet.
Taubel and Nooytens with strongvraces.
Shame to see so little happening in the biggest race of the year 
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

I enjoyed this race. Not many attacks, I give you that, but seeing Bewley being checked to the very end of the race is as much suspense as you can get out of this event.
Congrats Roman, yada yada yada. Another superb result from Pendelton's. Festina very unlucky. Wiesenhof with a strong finish as well.
Top15 from Ferreira is a very pleasing. Should help give us a little respite from our expected downfall with all these classics.

This was a bit like Armstrong's 5th Tour De France, he was vulnerable, but no one realised it until it was too late (well, Beloki did but he crashed out). Everyone accepted he would tie the record and so he did. Well done Roman!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

That was underwhelming, I must admit. Disappointed to only see Breen and Trentin when the first big selection was made and 18 riders left up front, especially when he got dropped soon after as well. That sprint for the minor placings was always going to be a lottery, and unfortunately Trentin wasn't the most fortunate.
Congratulations to Roman! It's another perfect spring season. If we were ever in doubt, it seems like Bewley actually is truly unbeatable
Also a huge result for Pendleton's, which should do them good after last month, that wasn't great for them in the fight for the top placings in the rankings.
And thank you for the report! Must admit it was kind of disappointing to see such a big group come together to the velodrome, but reading through, it was surely intense and very well covered. |

11th is good stuff from Maes, he clearly has shown to be an okay cobbles leader in races like this this season. As for Bewley winning, well obviously they need the points for Top 3 in the PT standings, but really really hoped Senechal came out on top. Great race by Senechal though and denying Van Avermaet for yet another 2nd place

Too lame to be considered a good result. 9th is still okay, but with all our other guys not inside the Top-50, we would have preferred a more selective race at the front. Vanspeybrouck would always struggle in such a sprint.

Didn't you sell 2 of your nicest cobbled guys right before the end of the transfer period after you purchased them at the beginning?

Thank you everyone! Probably getting a lot boring for all of you, but surely not for me!
The guy is incredible. Considering cobbles, he delivers every single time. Really can't be more happy with the final race of this cobble season. 5th straight win, insane.
Thanks for the report.

I love to see a Kiwi winning anytime Honestly it's still less routine than the All Blacks got for a few years there

Makes the group of 13 ... comes 13th. Ah well, better luck next time Vanmarcke.
One day Bewley will start to struggle, but it's interesting to see just how long that will last!

What is the point?
I sold one, I already owned, whom I had for sale from the beginning. I basically swapped in Jacobs 78COB with Kosic 75COB.
Then I re-sold Lhotellerie after purchasing him, because a sale of another rider failed.
No matter what, I heavily upgraded my cobbled department going into this season.
