ohhh hello  , seeing the other startlist i had high hopes but this really gives Moscon a huge chance of a top 5 in HC here.
The big thing here is how much will Ardilla +2 and over MM be able to counter his ST i'd guess he should be able to hold better then say Gisbourne so should top 10 but he needs a good RDC to win
With that in mind huge chance for Sosa and Amezawa here MM should be the big decider so i see it between them.
Gesbert to then have the advantage over the many many 77/78 MM guys.
Fascinating race positioning on the final climb will be crucial |

Just want Montenegro to find the final group - doesn't need a fantastic result, but anything in the top 15 would be worth the trip. Otherwise, no one really useful from our guys unless Merchan somehow makes this a pure mountain test (and literally no other stats).
APP looks like a great shout to win from my view.

Cmon Lyu, give us some good points. He’s got the help of the mountain goats here, so idk maybe even Faglum Karlsson will do something, but more probably he’ll be in a helping capacity.
Thanks for the preview Laurens and looking forward to Abhi’s report

Thanks for the preview, Laurens!
The startlist looks rather favourable given who is racing in Lugano at the same time. APP should be in the mix for a top 10 and from there on anything is possible.
I won't oppose that

We've got the whole team to help Lafay. What it'll amount is another question. I just hope we won't sit at the back...
Thanks for the preview!

Good for us that most puncheurs went to Switzerland, but on the other hand there are many good climbers present. Hoping Gesbert will be in the mix for a top result!

Praying for a good Quita result so that we can hold on to the top spots in the overall.

Would like to see both Rodriguez and Azman in the top 20, but with the season Azman has had it makes sense that only Rodriguez is mentioned in the preview.

I sent Sosa here based on the winners the last two years being more balanced guys but I think PCM24 had tilted things back to the punchier riders. So lucky for us they aren't that well represented. Gesbert has to be the favorite given his season and the way the startlist has broken.
Still not particularly hopeful and will be pleasantly surprised if Sosa is in the fight.
Thanks for the preview.

Big disappointment. Must have been a proper off-day for Gesbert. Nice to see Kvist in the top 30 at least.
Thanks for the report!

Was never gonna score big here, but 22 points is not a disaster with such a weak squad

Thanks for the report to Abhi and congrats to cunego!
18th is just enough to put us above 20 PpRDs for the month, so I can live with the result.

WOW! great ride by Moscon and a truly ridiculous 110pt for the team double what we would get for a C2 classic win!
Should send Moscon to the top scorer in our team this season as well great stuff for him with a few more rides to come he has an outside chance of winning the individual rankings now
Thanks for the report Abhi and Congrats to all the big scorers |
