Not too bad, but things need to go better in next months.. Teams like Amex continue to score big points.

My tip ftw: Hoffman to beat Napo in the line.
Hehe what did I say?  Congrats Avin on yet another great result.
Avelino 6th not bad. The decision to bring him and Ventoso wasn't so bad after all, even though Ventoso was nowhere to be seen.
I feel sorry for Vueling, Kennaugh was a good bet for this one. Hope Man-Game's karma hits them in return as it has hit AMEX in the last few races.

I take the 3rd here. More than expected. On the other hand a good position here obviously was bad in the end as the later riders won in the end. But a good race from all my riders. Full control.
Might have been different without Kennaugh`s crash. Then there might have been 2 trains and a different outcome in the end.

Yes! 
I knew it, somehow i had a strong feeling that Hoffman is going to win this one. His season is awesome, another huge push away from bottom of the table near to the top. Positioning was the key and Nolan was where he needed to be.
Thanks for the congrats and nice report! 
April is almost over for us, but it was a great month in rather few race days.

Hoffman: best buy of the season?
Got the top ten I wanted and made the race really interesting. Also a lot of teams who aren't big promotion contenders took the top places. Can't ask for more than that.

Hoffman is a sensation this year.
Pleased with Docker's fifth, though regret not targeting the race with my full sprinters line-up. More chances to come, though.

Finally an AMEXpc sprinter shows some life. After several early season disasters attempting to sprint, we get success.
Jake Keough urged on by the screaming American fans picks the right wheel to follow. The choice was an easy one as Nolan Hoffman has shown he is the early season dominant sprinter and Keough rode his slipstream into 2nd place.
The race was a mismatch for punchuers who all languished in the pack.
Looks like tomorrow we will have our 3rd race in 3 days as the Duo Time Trial will go off. I have to admit I was not thinking straight when I pick my duo. I have serious doubts that they will do well. Part of the learning curve for new managers, so watch enjoy and make some notes for the next season planner.
The AMEX duo is Bernhard Eisel who has the goods to score points and he is teamed will another home country boy Yannick Stoltz who is good on the flats. I remembered this race was flat and 44k long but I forgot it was a TT and built my team around rollers.
Maybe the field will be small enough that we cn score some points.

Nah, Hoffman still have more than half of his race days coming, so let them roll!
But in GP Moscow and similar, Napo should beat him easily, here in USA Nolan was better suited for the race.

Not really, Hoffmann has +2 STA and +1 HIL, but Napolitano has +5 SP |

Dont forget +2 flat, i think 76 flat is one of the keys of Nolan's success.

Van Poppel finally sprinting, but Gavazzi should have been in the mix as well. At least another top 10 gives us a steady trickle of points. Hopefully it will be enough.
