Thanks for the preview!
That's a stacked startlist for sure.
No big support for Stocek, but we're aiming for another top 5.
Good luck everyone!

We are here, but not really here... Cant remember if I had 2 race days I couldn't place, or if I joined this race by a mistake...
Lets see what Wirtgen can do

First test for Paez in a classic, and I think it should suit him quite well. Top 10 is the expectation, Top 5 would be great!
Lagane is the top favourite for me, stamina should be a non-factor with less than 150km. Yates and Oliveira look great, too - and never underestimate Madouas of course 
Thanks for the preview, good luck everyone!

Between Kron, De Bie and Kanerva we have 3 cards to play, will be interesting to see how they do without Hirschi here.

Tough field, lots of fast riders who can be there in the end. Top 5 would be great for Madouas, anything worse than ~10th will be a disappointment. I'm hoping for something from Mansouri here as well, these should be the types of races where he could in theory excel.
Good luck everyone and thanks for the preview Laurens!

This is a profile, where it could well happen that a bunch of riders "survive" the last hills and will finish in a sprint. If this happens, Yates has a great chance to win. So here is hoping, that he will be with the leaders untill the last kilometers!

Hoping McCarthy being here allows Nikiema to stay in the front group and make it in the top 10 in a tough sprint. Could easily see this as a Yates v Lagane sprint with the other results going to whoever can pick the right wheel.
Looking forward to the race and thanks so much for the preview!

we have our best puncheurs here, but no real sprinter. Let's see how that will pan out. Thanks for the great preview Laurens!  |

Hope to see Kinoshita go long and then Langellotti be in a position to mark late moves. He’s fast enough that if he’s well positioned he should be able to hold on for the desired T10. |

Left Quita at home so that Oliveira is our leader here, let's hope that pays off. |

Aidan did terrible here last year so it cannot possibly go worse. A similar result to Strade Bianche would already be comforting

Hoping MVD can live up to his top billing. We tried a cheeky bet here with Kulikovskiy as he has decent puncher abilities, in case there is limited selection. Hoping one of the directions pay off!
Thanks for the preview Laurens!

Hoping that Turgis still has a role to play here.

I've spent too long with Lagane to trust in anything, but there's not really a more suited profile on the calendar. So, fingers crossed! I even brought two more sprinters in Hoffstetter and Norbert because why not?
So i've guaranteed this somehow goes to a 5-man long range move as a result

Think this was probably the last race we picked - don't think it is hard enough for Simmons but hopefully a few points.

Well it was 4-men but the spot on this wasn't going to be a group sprint, having sent my best sprinting hillers.
Entirely accurate you cannot trust Lagane. How does he lose a 4-up like that, and i do mean lose, 2nd would have been annoying, but 4th is .....
Love seeing Meyer coming 6th! Caribbeans having a great season as long as they're on another team, which sums up so much of my time in the MG.

Hehe, I was sure we would be in contention for a top 10, but not even a top 50?
We're never coming back here, that's for sure!
Along with brilliant reporting as always, you also captured some magnificent shots kb, thanks, I really enjoyed! |

Great race by Stocek! Triggered and followed the rice attacks, and a good finish to get a podium. Very happy with this.
Eiking showing he still has it. Great result for Gjensidige.
Thanks for the lively report KB!
