There are two races Summerhill can't 100% win in PCT: this and Rheden. The flat terrain makes it impossible for him to gap anyone for long enough, and stupid AI will make him keep attacking at any time.
Teunissens ride wasn't bad, not at all really, his sprint was. It's incredible how, when they are flat, 5 rated cobhles in pcm can't make any gaps and the likes of Bush can finish alongside riders with much better stats. Fortunately there ain't many races with these characteristics, unfortunately, Teunissen doesn't have a high Hill stat. But who knows, Kigali which is like the hilliest cobbled race got us a 2nd place.
Thanks for the thrilling report jandal.

This is why neither of those two are win goals... or even goals at all. Gent - Wevelgem will be a problem because it isn't even hard rated. And I'm worried about E3 as well.

That was dissapointing from Zepuntke, quite good with 20th for Taubel though.
Also, great to see someone else than Summerhill win a cobble-race in PCT

Nothing happened for us. Literally nothing.

Still Breschel refuses to attempt anything. A try for top 10 on home course should at least have been plausible 
I guess I'll just take comfort that it would have been a clear 0-pointer without Matti.
Anyway good to see Paajanen in the break at least.

A slightly underwhelming result. Cancellara will need to start performing better. At least we picked up some more minor points, but we need better than 6th.
Thanks for the nice report though

I had hoped for more, but 10th and 12th are still results standing out for my team this season so far. Thanks for the report and congrats to the winner. There won't be many cobbled races where Summerhill isn't the winner. |

Very solid result produced for WCC by Bush - this represents a solid return for taking the C1 gamble, although TMM is the one to really profit in this case. Was worried when mention of crash, and then not too obvious Bush had made it back for a while, but still hangs tough in the end. Good team effort to get Bush back into the race and still manage 6 classified finishers after the cobbled carnage.
Thanks for the report!

Wolverine visible for the first time, good stuff. Good work from the young lad. And then there is Thomas... smart man stays in the group and uses his sprint, G loves to ride hard so goes in a late move. And when it all comes together it just felt foregone, challengers left in groups behind and the power is all that remains.
First victory of the season for the team. Martin and Stefan nestled in the chase group did their jobs today. G shows why you've always gotta watch him, fantastic stuff.
And we didn't crash!
