Congrats knockout! Skujins far too strong.
AA did ok, can't complain with a top-15 with this field.
Thanks for the report!

McCarthy in 5th is a superb result, comfortably his best of the season. Does make me wonder what would be achieved without the baggage of Bellis in the other hilly races though  |

Not a good AI, would have preferred a less jammed up sprint but with that considered I'm glad Gautier at least came ahead to 9th even though his sprint warrented more had he been better placed and/or with fewer riders blocking the road.
Congrats to knockout, no one I'd rather have snatching the win.

Finally a great race by Skujins 
A bit weird without any attacks at all but I won't care after winning. Huge depth points with Smirnovs and Siskevicius both in the top 17 as well which is awesome.
Thanks for the congrats
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Yeah, success  (one place better, 23rd....) 
with such a race and finish it would have suited Reimer perfect I thought but nowhere to be seen

Well that race was garbage. Nothing happened.
No results or even attacks on Scandinavian soil is always a failure, even with a startlist that good. No use dwelling on it though.

Dull race and 6th by TVG is a tad worse than what I was hoping for.
Thanks for the report at least.

Great to see former rider Skujins taking the victory.
For Eritel, three in the Top 50 despite one of my three leaders clearly being injured in a crash. Couldn't expect any more than that really, and it is at least something to take away from here.

Huge win for Skujins, after him having struggled a little in the Ardennes classic. A shame for Bakelants, who the win keeps avoiding him, now losing it in the last 50 metres. His consistency is something to study in the future, being this his sixth podium of the season out seven race 
Great report as always Abhishek, of this rather boring race
