Summerhill sleeping in the sprint, quite a result for Lierse and Strava!

Gutted to have lost that race on the line but formidable racing once more. It is hard to complsin when you see your team work out like that in every race. Lierse put a lot of energy into defending our attacks so well earned win too. Gratz, and thanks roturn.

We're really gonna need to perform better than these low top-10s in these races. Always nice to have some good results due to depth, but Cancellara should be capable of top-5s in these races.
Thanks for the report

Thanks for a great report.
Wonderful colourful racing from Strava, even though I was swearing a bit when they kept dropping Breschel on the cobbles. Cool win for Lierse as well proving that Summerhill can be beaten if challenged right.
Obviously amazing to see the comeback from Breschel soloing to a 4th place that will bring some much valued points we wouldn't have gotten anywhere close to without him.

De Maar looking better with an unexpected top 10, but Boonen continues to inexplicably struggle. He has performed far, far, below his stats.

Mixed emotions for me on this one. If you would have asked before the race how I'd feel about third place, would have gladly taken the spot. But with how the race played out I can't help but feel disappointed it was only 3rd. I was expecting a sprint, and without a sprint I expect wins.
I guess we take this result happily and move on, this was always supposed to be Summerhill's worst cobbled race, so I'll take the points.

Picture really says it all... Vanbilsen proud of his win, Baugnies satisfied with the result ... Summerhill disappointed at a third place finish.
