Tim Vermeersch, 21st and 3rd best D2 rider. Actually, the whole Delhaize squad finished within the top 50th, 56 riders finished the race 
Great to see my own jersey win and nice to see Vermeersch fight about an top-20. Congrats to T.S Moha and Bobridge!
It was actually a good result for your team. 21 is far better than I expected, so good job

Congrats to Oz for such an awesome win! What a gutsy attack by Bobridge.
I'm very happy with my guys, with 3 riders in the peloton when no other D2 riders were left, and getting two top 10 and a great 13th by Strgar. Awesome.

Thank you all, guys!
I feel like... "Wow, did that really happen?"... Great win for our team! I really can't believe it. I knew this race would become unpredictable thanks to the few teams here, but I didn't expect a win, that's for sure.. Thank you, Jack  You made my day!

Congratulations to the winner, we surely got our nose bloodied though

Last time I checked I had the (3) best D2 rider(s). Let the rest have some success, you had enough in Dubai.

You probably did extraordinary well here, so everybody is forgetting you are also a D2 team. |

I enjoyed the racing from the Mumbai's and here in Nedbank, was nice to see the Div2 teams in action. Kumazan's team come out of this race with a lot of credit and it makes them heavily favoured to go well on the hilly stuff in CDiv2 races.
The race itself suggests that it is not impossible to get a long break taking a hilly classic and also quite a heavy selection. This bodes well for teams with some depth, I will be interested to see whether we get a similar such selection as Lugano and Strade Bianchi.

while Alejandro Valverde is still hunting another race victory in Spain, here are just few numbers from upcoming season (hopefully everything is correct):
20 - average number of race days per team, it means we are at about 1/9 of season
31 - with this amount of race days, Hollister Pro Cycling have been the most active team so far
9 - on the other hand Pokerstars.com is the most lazy team
709 - highest score so far, Rapha Condor - Qhubeka and Volkswagen - Siemens Cycling must share for position of leader right now
86 - the opposite, lowest score
39,39 - the highest average points per day (Rapha Condor - Qhubeka), absolutely brilliant number!!! I´d like to mention Jayco Red Bull with 33,26 too
4,78 - and again, lowest average
3 - number of new teams in TOP10, Team Puma - SAP on 5th is highest placed atm
6 - number of wins (overall, stage, classic) for team (Aker Solutions - Bergans)
4 - number of wins (overall, stage, classic) for rider (Allan Davis - Hollister)
that´s all
