Excellent, our team seen once, in first picture 
Great report per usual, video are private Roturn, but great idea. And well Bewley is Bewley..nothing can be said about him. Awesome result for Ignatiev, well done Avin.

For a moment i really thought Ulissi had it in the bag with that huge gap back to the peleton. Unfortunately, Bewley was just to much of a beast in the sprint. Still really happy about 4th place, although perhaps a shame he couldn't hang on for second behind Bewley.
Thanks for the report, roturn!

Video is private, yap. Dunno if you can change that, would be easier to handle then. Other than that, definitely a nice idea, such as the quick flashback there. Enjoyed the report, even though the race itself didn't offer too much action with just Ulissi attacking the bunch.
Bewley, why not?  He's a beast and it's actually nice to see him winning this monument after coming close two years (?) back. Avin finally with less reason to moan  Great result for Ignatiev and nice to see a flat/punchy beast grabbing a nice 2nd here.
Pretty pleased with Oz's result(s) as well. Burghardt in 9th, Bobo in 21st.. Goss obviously wouldn't have done better. So I'm happy about Burghardt in particular. Seems that he went for a nice position in the crucial moments, finishing it off with a Top-10 then. Pendle still doing pretty well with Gilbert though.

Yes!!!
Awesome 2nd for our team in first ever monument, i knew that Ignatiev has to be the guy for MSR, with his all around abilities, this justifies his wage and my trust in him, at least a bit. Great way to bounce back from disastrous start to the season, even after that nasty block by Ulissi.
Congrats to Becherovka, Bewley was just too fast, but he also had massive advantage on Ignatiev from the start of the sprint, i like to think that Mikhail was closing on him. 
Thanks Roturn for a great report despite a bit uneventful race until last kilometres!
Edit: Shame about crash of Grosu though, that could potentially give us another man in top30-50.

Great report, not so great race. You know something is "wrong" when all your riders finish in the same time as the winner and Igor Boev becomes 40th

EDIT: Looking forward to the PT Rankings Update of January+February!

Great report. Loved the videos in there. Very cool addition.
PCM always tends to let too few riders attack in MSR and this was not different.
Thought ulissi Would Take It but Bewley is just a beast. Ignatiev with a great result as well.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Really pleased with Holloway there - it still seems wierd that he wasn't sprinting at Qatar but is one of the better sprinters here!
The big dud was Frankenstiens monster back in 30th, Pokerstars also fell back after Ullisi's stinging attack. This certainly is the race for punchy Italian types to give it a go.
Bewley was just so strong though - he could do 3 monuments this year. Hagen also could nab the other two!

Great report roturn
Pretty happy with Gautier 15th, plus Kadri and Sisira in the top 35. While relegation still looks probable, we're not ashaming ourselves. |

Man, that Bewley guy has a rocket engine.
I liked the addition of some short videos.

Nice report, bit what a dull race.
Didn't think it would come down to a bunch sprint, hence why I didn't bring Roelandts.
I'm starting to realise I'm not very good at this game

Yes it has to be said roturn has done an awesome job once again with what was unfortunately a bit of a bland race. I watched the video a couple of times, was really cool to get that reporter feel of watching the guys in action.

Great report!
Decent result for us here aswell. Having Ricco, Tzortzakis and Coppel here seemed to do the trick. 7th is not great, but 7th and 14th is good.

Great ride by Te Brake.
But another disappointing result for my team. This start of the season does not look good at all for me.

About what I expected, I really got my hopes up when Zabel was there at the end, but not strong enough, not even close. Maybe next year

Well, would have thought we would finish a little better than that, with both a sprinter and a strong hilly rider, but oh well. The report was very enjoyable, I loved the videos, thanks Roturn!

Damn, that Bewley sprint straight outta this world. Great report roturn, loved the embeddement of the videos and nice idea with the flashback to Ulissi 2012. Unfortunate that Ulissi couldn't finish it off, I always like to see puncheurs winning in San Remo. Congratz to Becherovka for winning the first monument of the season and also gratz to Metinvest for a huuge result in their PT debut.. if I wouldn't know better Avin has some 2agan blood in his team though.
