We got a top 5 goal here and if we (read Ahlstrand) dont achieve that I will be very unhappy.
Optimally we will win this ´cause we really need that but a top 3 is acceptable as well. |

Really wish I was here with Vantomme.
Wonder if the rise at the end will have any impact, could look good for Kump, otherwise I hope Ahlstrand manages to get a win this time.

Lets see how Hayakawa can do here. I am only really hoping for a Top 10 but Itami hasn't done that much for us this year so Im not expecting much from Hayakawa either now, especially with the strength of this startlist.

It's a bit of planning sloppiness to choose so many classic sprinter races but not having a top sprinter, but well, like Sagan says: is what is. Van der Sande comes off straight a winning spree at Dunkerque, maybe with langeveld and Baugnies present, he can maintain that mojo. Satisfied with a Top 10 tho in this massive field.

Looking at last two years it won't be a sprint. Let's hope we're in the right group for a fluky win If it's a sprint my best bet would anyone but Serebriakov, that's for sure at least

Matthews top 10 is why we came here. Anything better than that is a bonus really. |

Oh god, why are we here. Well like most races without cobbles, just a chance at taking any points in this race would make it successful, or getting mentioned at all during the report.

If this comes down to a sprint I'm certainly hoping for the good form of Bouhanni to continue, he has good support here in Anton Martin and Reza. If it is decided from a breakaway then I hope to have a rider in there.

Lets see if Kump can turn his classics season around here. Wonder if it was a mistake bringing Aberasturi here, considering the rise on the final; On the other hand, much tougher profiles has turned out to suit the heavy sprinters perfectly before so someone like Guarero or Lo Cicero will probably win again.

Not the best day for our team with only 1 rider in the top 150... But that guy was 7th, so the race has been saved quite well! Shame about Randrianambinina/Polivoda falling, and Ulanowski puncturing though, a better result could've happened for sure with a proper train.

Haha. Of course. One goal undone. Top 5 was waaaaaaaay to ambitiously.
Congrats shonak. Talk about sloppiness

We came for a Top 10 and we got a Top 10. Works well for me

Maybe it was for the better that I'm not here, don't think Vantomme could take being beaten by Van Der Sande again. Congrats though Shonak! Van Der Sande has been doing amazing recently.
Generally a bad race for the best sprinters minus Zabel, so a shame for them, especially Ahlstrand still under performing, seems like Kvist, who should be a nice lead-out, is not riding as he should.
Actually realising I did have a rider in this race Christos Loizou 188th, not exactly sure why we have such a rubbish rider.
Thanks for the report The Hoyle!

I was waiting for one more disappointment and the team did not disappoint me...
Can we do the favor to move now to the next season
Congrats to the winner and thanks for the report

@trekbmc Yeah Kvist is not helping Ahlstrand at all. Him Kruopis and Van Poppel would be a nice train was my plan this season but have not seeing anything close to that yet...
And thanks for the report Hoyle! I forgot to post that before in the middle of my bummer |

Incredible result for Petit to go with an incredible report, thanks Hoyle! I suppose I ought to stop writing off our promotion chances now, if we're getting top 5s in HC flat classics
Congrats Shonak, Strava look like dark horses for promotion now! |
