Uh, I wish PCM would let more attacks happen in these kinds of races, my team alone has 5 riders with the stats for an attack and I'm sure many other teams are in a similar situation with no strong leader but guys who can attack, a shame PCM never lets them, at least my prediction for my team was perfectly correct (Padun of course )
LLS could've had the legs for something though, he's not that much worse than last year..
Nice to see EBH win in Norway though, gratz Tasta! And of course an awesome report tsmoha!

Just wait for PCM 17 then which is even worse No attacks ever stick in that, if there even are any.
Congrats Grieg, and Ferrero score well again and make up for the ITT.

Great and unexpected result for Caruso there. A very strong and important 4th to add to Cornu's win in the Isle of Man puts us back on track.

Congrats to Grieg! Happy to see EBH win his home race with such domination. He really earned it.
JJ just went a bit too early. With his acceleration, that's unnecessary and hurt him. 6th is a good enough point load though, so I can't be mad. That's the most important thing for the relegation fight anyway. The one frustrating thing is seeing how stacking a bunch of good puncheurs behind him has had zero effect. Mendes, for example, has done nothing the whole year to help. But I'll let it sldie if results come.
Thanks for a great report!
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy

That feeling when you have 6 riders in the group but Kump is the one chasing on the flat. Only to see worse similar riders like Modolo, Kadri and McEvoy beating us. Crucial in a goal race really.

That's more like it! Great result by Kadri to give us some highly necessary points. Two more riders in the top-20 is unexpectedly nice and for a change we actually joined a break!

Fabulous performance by Betancourt!
...I'm sorry, I can't get this out of throat without laughing, crying or shouting.

Thanks for the report tsmoha and congrats Grieg on another EBH victory!

Well that was going great until about 5km to go when Flügel seemed to call it a day, outside the top 20 really hurts.
Eddy was the Boss today, thanks for the great report Tsmoha

I don't think my riders realised it was the end of the race Unselective hill classics don't seem to give any hope to Eritel.
Nice to see Eddy win his home race though.
