Best cobbles results in years, but still a disappointing first "key" race for David. Surely had expected more than an anonymous 29th place..
At least Monk showed our colors in the break.
Thanks for the quality report and congrats to those, who did well.

Not great, that's for sure. Looked like we did too much work without ever attacking ourselves. Hopefully just a slight off day for Wisniowski. This is also a race that's a bit of mix of many things, so would have been more worrying had it been Roubaix. Further three riders top 30 is good, but would have liked at least one of them closer to the top 10.
That being said - brilliant racing by Summerhill and Gerts. A very well deserved victory, congrats YW!

What a great season Gerts is having.
8 started, 8 finished - job done!

It's always kind of disappointing to go head to head for the victory and lose, but that was one hell of a ride from Gerts as well as the entire team to set up the pace in the pack.
The cobbles training definitely payed off, but let's see if Gerts can fight with the big guys in the flatter races.
We could be a danger in the rankings, cio, if Gerts wouldn't have to score big to make up for Dombrowski disappointing start of the season or Boswell's no show.

Decent from Kasperkiewicz in his first race as a leader for us not more not less. The rest of the team was a no-show. Congrats to the winner from PCT. It seems like a lot of possible points this season are going to PCT teams (so not counting).
Thanks for the report redordead!

9th, 13th, 22nd and 31st is definitely a good result for us. Can't blame Teunissen for getting beaten by the riders that are in front of him. Kruijswijk did way better than expected and also proper rides by Malecki and Potts.
Congrats YJ and thanks for the report redordead. Some great looking shots.

Thanks for the report redordead! Disappointing performance by Theuns honestly, Gaday overperforming kinda offsets it, but I really came into this race hoping for a top 5 at least. There's time for him to redeem himself tho. Congrats YJ, cool to win in PT as a wildcard, even with no points up for grabs.

Really enjoyed that one, with Walsleben getting into the breakaway, and then Anderberg also having a go at it in the later stages. Hopefully a sign of his attacking/fighting spirit, which could give us a few surprisingly good results next year 
Well done by Summerhill and Gerts to get away and stay away. The latter seems capable to do anything this season!
Also thank you for the report, redordead! I found it easy to follow the intense finale, thanks to your text and pictures  |

Thanks for the report redordead and congrats to Yellow Jersey on the win. Summerhill is an animal. I'm happy enough with 15th I suppose, though will expect more from Spengler in the cobbles races that are more suited to him.

Quite good to see Andorra dominate here aswell :-p Too bad it dosen't cost Summerhill race days that he can't use against us...

Had high expectations, but I guess 7th place isn't too bad. Very good report indeed!
