Fantastic report.
Pozzato does it again, really remarkable looking at the big results he's pulled out over the years. Congrats Heine.
Solid result for.me.with Van Garderen and Summerholl ensuring a better result than vesuvio

I'm a little disappointed with this race. although he had no great expectations, expected a little more from the team but it seems that Kupfernagel was chosen as leader and that hurt our performance
Thanks for the report

I had hoped we could bring a solid result from our capital's race, but it seems we'll have to wait for SN to create an event in Porto for us to shine on home soil Nevertheless, 18th is pretty good for us. This race's reporter must be proud of his loanee!
Pozzato's ride was impressive, a very deserved victory from a well-thought and triumphant attack. Having a rider like him winning here is very prestigious for the event.
Also great to see that Carvalhos' fan group is up and running Thanks for another great report Selwink

Great report even though you must have wanted to sleep through sections of that Selwink!
Sucks that Guarnieri didn't have the legs today and Boonen/Bewley did ok. Guess I'm losing that podium position in the final section of the season.

Great effort by Hofland to try to hold on for a surprise result, pity it didn't happen.
Looks like my riders must have waited for Feillu or Merino Criado, which is pretty shit. Gastauer should have stayed up front and tried to challenge Van Garderen, rather than wait for a secondary sprinter.

Hmm, I probably should bring in a domestic who could ride over these hills then. I guess a rider like Sagan would really help my team here. Still I am really happy with results. Exactly what I hoped for, Howard did a great lead-out for Bewley. 2nd, 11th, 24th, 32nd, not bad results. Plus a presence in the break of the day, interesting move by Hepburn. 
Thanks for the report. And congrats to Heine, this likely means VW are staying in PT, big result for them.

At least Giling is wearing the jersey proud in what could be one of his last appearances with the team.
Thanks, Selwink!

Big congratulations to Heine! Vital win thinking of the battle to avoid relegation, and if Pozzato does anything similar in ToNE, they should be more than safe, even being able to look upwards in the rankings.
Thanks for the nice report, Selwink! And 5th from Impey is great. No doubts the race developed pretty perfect for a rider like him. |

I think this result pretty much saved my team. I should be closer to the team above me than the teams below me now

Amazing report, Selwink, thanks a lot!
I´m quite happy with results. Gaining more points then Good Energy is always useful and not loosing too much against Becherovka is acceptable.
Congrats, Heine, it looks like you are already safe!

Thanks for a great report. Big win for Pozzato that.
Vanspeybrouck in the top 10 means that he officially beat any of his cobbled results this season. That is really depressing.

Bloody hell, Pozzato does it again!
And happy with 4th from Roelandts, no shame in losing to those two sprinters

Entertaining race, very well done by Pozzato who did what I'd hoped Reimer would try 
That said, two riders in top-10 - nothing to complain about. |

Lisbon already was an interesting race to plan for and watch last season and it proved again that it is a (in my opinion) nice addition to the calendar with many possible outcomes, but still, who would've thought it's Pozzato having another worlds performance? 
Behind him the rather usual suspects though, sadly Rothaus couldn't get one of their strongmen into the Top 10 and Bennati wasn't able to really feature either.
Great job capturing the finale Selwink, I really like the fresh air you bring to the ManGame with your reports recently (not that any "old" reporter is bad or anything!)
