Interesting race and a great Kiwi-Aussie double! Cool win for Kennett while Ewan lost a race that was his to lose. Nice to see Mullen active in our colors, while my riders obviously only had the early breakaway chance - which they didn't take. Thanks and congrats, jandal

Nice to see Turchi in a break. Darbinyan finished in the main group too. Always nice to see they do well in these fields too!
Thanks jandal  |

Haha, congratz Jandal!
Also super nice to see us make our mark on the race, especially in the end of the race. If we only had a sprinter in the u23 we would've made a better result out of this.
Either way, great reporting and racing!

Wow, Ewan not winning. Now that's a surprise. Good by SKA to finish in the top 10.

This exactly. Surprised to see Kennett take the win. Ona smaller note, good seeing Goldstein on the attack, he was indeed fast with good legs, wich might be a good indication of his form.

Ugh yeah, if only he had been able to latch onto that train entirely. Good team effort to get on the podium though.

Interesting race there, good to see Mullen continue to be active on the flats. He looked great in those Jayco colours, tsmoha

Clearly some tactical mistakes in the prerace meeting by you.
The team likely did understand they are supposted to ride for Herklotz, who came close even.
Though good to see Bauhaus was listening to my team`s tactics and went for the podium instead.
Nice to see pre Avenir that he has the speed. Now with a full team behind, he hopefully can repeat this there.
Regarding Kennett. Big surprise. Didn`t see this coming. Was always Ewan vs. Breakaway. But it was a powerful sprint by earlier. |

What did i say? Don't know why everyone's so surprised by this, sprinting is a real different race and being far ahead in stats counts for almost nothing.
Kennett nailed his race, hugely deserved win.

Gogo Willi!
Strange if anyone except Ewan wins, on the other hand, my experience with Zabel as that he used to win the sprint behind the breakaway...
Just wanted to point this out

Is it random which riders that will attend? Because I have Farantakis not riding, despite being 70SPR, while Antonijevic is while being 67SPR.
Also, van Niekerk is riding, but Fabbro isn't.
It's not an issue for me, I just spotted some room in teams like Xero, SPAR, Lierse, Isostar, Meiji, Valio, Eritel, Tinkoff and Project: Africa. Maybe the latter should also be re-named next time, as their manager haven't been active at all during this season.

Great race - usually is on this route!
As for my team we where nowhere to be seen - as expected.

Big suprise to see Ewan lose this really. Gaviria coming back from a horrible position to actually deliver a quality sprint. He should hang out less with Van Asbroeck.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I guess that i shouldn't have made him ride so many races this season, so he would have had time to manage his team
