Kamyshev tends to be a walking disappointment, but let's see... new season. Time to shine.
You might just have hit his problem on the head. Now that you are a PT outfit, I am sure that you can afford to isue him with a bicycle to see if that helps him keep up?

Speaking of Kamyshev, that was bad. Perhaps time for a new tactic - attack in the morning and get a 3rd place instead... |

Just when i thought that this season start couldn't get better, Vanmarcke surprises with a 5th place in a PTHC race  80 points to the bag 
Bewley with a shocking win  Great fight by Summerhill! And epic result for Minions, with a breakaway rider like Moulingui 
Thanks for the report tsmoha!

Ok, so its PCT next season for us then.
Stallaet should have gotten top 5 easily in that group IMO so a worse results then next season when we really need better in cobbles this season.
Obviously congrats Roman could have congrat you before the race
Massive results for Minions! |

Almost too easy for Bewley, he is insane to follow.
Maes slipping into 11th in a PTHC race is wonderful! Much, much better riders finished in arrears - good to see his FL keeping him in it.
Thanks for the report, and congrats to Moser!

I'll take that 7th and whatever Gaviria gets pointswise. Agressive riding form the team, not entirely rewarded like Minions but still good to see.
Also happy to see Vanbilsen's jersey, it looks great!
Thanks for the report, tsmoha!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Better luck for Gerts next time, I guess.
Thanks for the report.

Good to see Skala being active. Having your loaned out rider do better than your own riders in a race is quite funny...

Moulingui
What a result by our loanee. I have no words. Zepuntke indeed a bit underwhelming but since it's PTHC I'll give him another chance for a better result.
Congrats Moser! And thanks tsmoha for the report!

Baugnies, clearly the strongest Belgian rider in the peloton on the day, was cruelly used as a pacing machine by Vanbilsen, Vanmarcke and co. We demand MGUCI look at the inequality in pacing duties, and points be deducted from their finishes, added to Kulczyk-DMTEX
Thanks for the report tsmoha, amazing screenshots throughout, and an enjoyable read until we realised Jerome had depleted his tank. Why he didn’t move back and accept that Summerhill/Bewley/minion ( ) were away, is beyond team management’s comprehension.
Congrats to Roman, Marco, Aquarius, etc.
Hopefully Jerome will be a bit more savvy in coming cobbled races.

Thank you for a great report, tsmoha!
Fourth place for Trentin is good, but at the same time a podium would have been great and felt a lot better What a sensational ride that was from Moulingui, congratulations both to Roman and Marcovdw!
Though, I must say I feel the early breakaways are having slightly too much success for my liking whenever the wind is strong, as they've run away with quite some results, both in the PT and in the CT so far. Luckily this was quite a different story, as hanging on to Bewley and Summerhill for such a long time, even without relaying, is quite different compared to just staying solo out in front and winning because the favourites aren't goig fast enough
Trentin-wise definitely a promising start on the cobbles, and hopefully he can build on this and prove to be one of the consistent top guys behind Bewley whenever he takes on the cobbles this year. |

Well, I guess this is payback for overperformance in Mid East. Such is life.
Terrible race for us honestly. We got the top 10 goal, but... Nolf and Sinkeldam were utter trash. Either they were both on bad days, or PCM didn't even try to use the team effectively. Either way, it's an anonymous 9th place and that's it. We want depth scoring in these races at the very least and it didn't happen. With VSB barely being better than Nolf last year... this could be really bad for us.
Awesome report though! Congrats to Moser.

Well to start with having more domestiques seems to be paying off as the race has been quite hard there. Seeing gaps as over the place and just making it difficult for others to follow summerhill and Bewley when they attack which is great. 2nd is 1st when your against Bewley so this feels like a win |

Harvesting points, but we need podiums during cobble races to stay in the first division.

Thanks for all those kind messages, also really happy with these results!
Not only a win for Bewley, but also 13th for Boroš and 17th for Polnický. If my team can do this well on cobbles, we are surely going to have a great season. And a race with somehow decent AI with a clear hero of the day being Moulingui. Summerhill clearly looking like the possible biggest challenger for Bewley this year.
Big thanks for the report!

Bad day from Altur (and the team). Hopefully it's not a sign of what the rest of the cobbled season will be like.

Good report, worthy winner, but ... From a WCC perspective a fair bit of a downer. Pre-season had expected in the region of 30-40 points from this outing, so is the first race of the season where we have significantly underperformed our own prognostication. If cobbled outings are to follow this pattern, the 250-300 point short-fall this would indicate across the season from what I'd envisaged may prove of great significance. As this was a PTHC outing with many PT beasts in attendance, won't consider those points fully lost until a few more PCT only outings, but doesn't bode well  .
