Finally Spilak delivers a good result. There sure is far between them. Losing to Ponzi much like in 2015 is fine by me.
Too bad Kastrantas completely exploded in the end. It would have been amazing to see him in a top 15. Also Koretzky keeps on performing unimpressing. Crashing on this stage making the result OK though.

First goal I've completed this season, sweet! 
Very happy to get some redemption with Ponzi at last. What a key job by Barbero though. Really pleased with the whole team effort here.
Shame with all the crashes here. But I've feel the Ai was pretty nice here with racing starting early and everything.

Btw, what happened here?
| 16 | Ian Boswell | eBuddy | + 4'12 | | 22 | Petr Vakoc | Moser - Sygic | + 4'35 | | 18 | Pello Bilbao | Hugo Boss | s.t. |
Can't we just give 17th to Koretzky who also finished 22nd?

I don't really know... Maybe when checking the results i somehow copy/paste the 22 in the 17. Because i remember that Vakoc won the sprint of that group...

Nothing special from EBH. Oh well, doesn't count for us anyway. Very happy to see Ponzi striking back after a couple of disappointing races. Congrats dev!

Oh man that was bad, our first rider at 64th.
I now we dont have guys for Top 10 in such a race but thought 78 and 79 hill would atleast make Top 50 
Well congrats Dev for deserved win for Ponzi. |

This looks good. Until the huge collapse. 
Congrats dev. You deserved it after Ponzis previous races.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Is Pushpakumara the greatest rider of all time? Or just this decade?
Awesome report btw, good aggressive racing although a little blighted by crashes. Nice to see Ponzi avenging himself as well! 
Definitely the greatest rider ever from the island of Sri Lanka
What an amazing result for us, McCarthy with one of his better races of the season (admittedly not saying much) and Pushpakumara with an incredible performance. It's little bits of luck like this that keep teams up, and for it to happen with a Sri Lankan rider as well makes it even better.
Also worth noting we had a top 3 goal here, which will go down as a near miss. Currently at 1.5/3 on goals, long may this last |

Doesn't get more anonymous that than for Boswell. Vermeltfoort with another great race. He took over the job of surprising results from Broers very well.

Not that bad, even though Sagan has really exploded in the final kms of the race. Vakoc finally somehow decent is at least a decent compensation all together.
Happy to see Ponzi finally taking a win this season, congrats.

Congrats to Ponzi and his team! Deserved victory after the bad luck.
Seemed like Ginanni just didn't have the legs after his fall. But guess I should be happy because this bad result probably means he wins his next race.
Thanks for the nice report.

Prevar with a very, very solid result for us in a monument. Nothing that will set the world on fire, however, 13th will certainly help us a bit.

Quite unfortunate for Gastauer to crash as he seemed to have a good day besides that. A pity to just miss out on the Top 10 once again though.

Too bad Trofimov wasn't able to get away, at least he tried, 7th is still a really good result after all the attacks from 33km onwards.
