Pretty good race overall for us.
I was worried Declerq would remain passive the entire time, but he just made his effort in time to catch some dropping riders.
Had he made the catch a few kilometres earlier, he could've stayed around for the sprint. But then again, if GVA and Daniel are last from that group, it probably wouldn't have made a difference.
Bol with a smart move to represent us in the break, using his puncheur skills to get a big headstart before the cobbles and ending up 40th around really good riders. Cavagna and Dunne add 5 extra points each as well on a favorable profile for them.
CongratzzzZZZzzzZZz to Bewbastard! Some teams won't have liked this one.
Thanks for a good report as well Abhi! It wasn't easy to get that finale across with all the attacking and regrouping.

11th is OK I guess, with a bit of extra points from especially Archimandritis, but also Kastrantas...
When I saw the frontgroup, I had a hope that Maxime Daniel could do slightly better though with his seemingly strong sprint stat. But he was clearly drained finishing last in the group, while normally he would be around 5th-6th looking at sprint stat.
Perhaps it will be of more use in other, less hard, cobbled races.

Wow  
This is turning into a quite bad season start. Some soonish upswing would be much appreciated..
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Well, I guess I can be assured now that my cobbles struggles at least come in all race, not just the ones I could benefit from scoring in.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

Can't really be happy with 6th, as Trentin is supposed to be my star rider in a star-less team 
Had hoped for a rare podium here with such a hilly profile, eventhough I thought Bewley, Summerhill and GVA would be difficult to beat. Seeing both GVA and Summerhill being rather beatable here, it feels like a missed opportunity in the race behind Bewley. Really hope Trentin and the team can improve during the cobbles campaign! |

Thrilling finale! I'm happy with the teamwork Teunissen and Potts displayed. And 10th, 14th and 24th is definitely not a bad result for us here.

Surely have to be really happy to win this race for fifth straight time!  Together with 21st place for Boroš theis is surely a great race for us. I am pretty suprised both hills and long cobble sectors did not make a bigger selection.
Surely a great race for both Isostar and Tinkoff, with Puma also having a decent race. On the other way things are not going that greatly for Evonik, really suprised to see GVA having such a bad season so far.
Thanks for the report.

Just updated the info about two Wyss-es and two Ariesens participating in the race. Once again, sorry about the game crashing and the incomplete results.

I added additional information in the result.
It`s now with full names, teams and time gaps.
Regarding my team...nothing to say really in the cobbles... |

Should have waited with my points updates then - That was one hell of a task

JEROME! In second behind Bewley?! That’s a win. You know it, I know it, Jerome knows it.
We’re thrilled - just wish we got points...
Thanks Abhi for the report

Wrong race for Kristoff for sure. Could be a long cobbles campaign ahead!
