Not really happy with 20th, but it seems like that is about the level of Breen in this field. Luckily, this should be last cobbled C1 classic for us this season (a couple of HC classics left, though). Now I'm just looking forward to see how we stack up against CT competition, where we should be getting much better results.
Congrats again to Booker! Baugnies is having a really good season thus far.

Yay, 2 more RDs wasted for Holloway. Seems like the gamble won't work out.

Bit dissapointed that petit got dropped so early but gaudin finishing in the top 15 was definitely a nice result and was one we hoped for |

Nice race from Maes, he’s gotta make better use of the flat roads though. If he can keep up the consistent top-10s he’ll score pretty well come the season’s end. Happy with that.
Congrats Booker! Baugnies is electric this season.
Thanks for the report, too!

Yes!
After the disappointment of Roma Maxima, it seems we should have chosen this as our win goal race 
Unreal performances by Jerome over the course of the season though, and we needed him to come up big to make up for some of the struggles on other terrains. I always get heart palpitations when I see a sprint upcoming and Blythe still around, but Jerome has the heart of a lion (unlike me).
Thanks for the report tsmoha - can you keep doing these cobbled classics forever?

Congrats Kulczyk, thanks tsmoha.
Zepuntke was there but then he was dropped. Crap result but it evens our overachievement in De Panne.

Baugnies just unbeatable this year. Quite crazy.
I guess I can't be mad after the De Panne win. I said I wanted a top 5 and I got it, if just barely. Sucks we couldn't make a more selective move, but I'm glad there at least was a front group selection and we could get some points here instead of sprinters as the alternative.
I do wish my team was a little more useful though. They were pushing the pace early, but guys like Nolf should be trying to make the selection too and not finishing outside the top 25. Podium ambition had two guys int he top 7, but Nolf has been useless all year. Sinkeldam has at least been a solid domestique.
In any case, glad we at least scooped up some points and weren't pack fodder. Awesome report!

Can't really complain with 9th for Saber, who looked really strong in the chase but the front group was too strong. Too bad it was a an off day for Per as those would've been some much needed points but can't have it my way every time.
Congrats on the win Booker! Baugnies really killing it this season  Thanks for yet another great report tsmoha!

Baugnies giving the best answer after the slight disappointment in Roma Maxima. On the top step where he belongs!

Congrats to Baugnies' crew on the win, a bit surprising that he seems to be the top scoring PCT cobbler I reckon thus far given that the likes of Blythe, Carlsberg trio, etc. look as good/better on paper. Finally, thnks to our reporter as always!
Baugnies was up to handle Summerhill, who is Blythe to him?
