Great result by Daniel here to take 6th. Much better results than expected... Also a bit of free points from Karatzios and Weber.

Another unselective race really sucks, but amazing report and congrats to Bewley!
Given that there were no points available here, I'm happy enough to see us finish in front group and VSB attacking a few times to make our jersey known. it's always special to race our first Paris- Roubaix, even if we come out without a special result.

A disappointing race by GVA. It looks like he wasnt treated like a proper podium favourite and thus was always positioned quite badly in the groups. at least every evonik rider finished the race to give those extra finishing points.
Congrats to the two winners at the front.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

I just presh an option called Renew thread, because it disappeared from the main page after very few people saw it. Nothing changed on the report, neither the views disappeared.

Very pleased to see Altur in the final group entering the velodrome. Eighth place is nice and he is only going to get better. Also, can't wait for when Bewley finally retires...  But congrats to him for making history. Well deserved.

Wow, another terrible performance in a monument. This really isn't meant to be a season where we have some fun 
Very surprised to not see Trentin as part of the 16 riders big group of favourites and contenders. Also obviously very disappointed with it, as the monuments are the absolute highlight on the cobbles, and now we've failed big in both this season. It's not even like we've just missed our goal or so, but we haven't even really featured, which is worrying.
Kind of a cool report to read though, with the rather big group coming together to fight for the win. Bewley was always going to win it, I guess, but when he attacked with 4 kilometers left, I thought for a while he would loose it. Then he played it clever and conserved his energy, giving him just enough for the sprint, I guess. Congratulations, Roman!
Also huge rides by Stallaert and Kristoff! Especially the latter, which is amazing to see, and I must say I'm happy to see it too, as a former Aker - MOT rider. Though, just this race day, we would really have needed him to be part of our team, seeing Trentin's performance 
Thank you for the report, Aquarius97  |

Kamyshev actually looked strong, and with a little bit more of a selection it could have been a great race for him. Instead, it ends up being a forgetable race, both for him and in the history  |

Bewley is crazy with all this attacking when he can just wait for the sprint on the wheel of Stallaert... but well, a win is a win.  The main part of the cobble season could have went better for my team, but this is still a major success with another monument win and couple of podium places. Big thanks for the report!

It looked like Teunissen was very well positioned in the finale, but then he hit the front too early and got overtaken by many riders. Still, 10th in Paris - Roubaix is a nice result.
Congrats Roman and thanks for the report.

Bewley wins Roubaix, the Pope is catholic, the world revolves another time and we dive deep in the ranks.
Goodbye April you won't be missed much around here.
Thanks for the report, though, Aqua.And congrats Roman!
