Well done by Peng and Jansen to hang on to top 20 placings here. Anderberg seemed to struggle from the moment the favourites started attacking each other. As it turned out, 9th looked to be his best on the day. It doesnt give many points, but we'll take it as an okay performance by him.
Big congratulations to Braliwra and cunego! Sensational season by Stallaert, really cool to see a rider you fully commit to perform and deliver this well!
Man. I was sceptical when Okbamariam attacked right off the bat, and when Stallaert rode towards the end of the group, I thought this was the race his streak of immaculate performances would finally run out. To then end up with the win is just ... I've run out of superlatives to describe the man. Like ember said, we made a huge bet on him in FA and he pays it back manifold.
To have Okbamariam in 17th and Schoonbroodt in 24th for our best team performance in a long time is just icing on the cake. As was the great report, thank you very much Eden! We really should do something about circuits in cobbled races though, to have the run-up to the finish not on the same lap if at all possible. Too many reports suffer from that imo (to no fault of the reporters, to be clear!)
Right Tamijo! That was a big one for us and David has been really good keeping aside the first couple of races. Must commend Moricz too as he has been quietly bringing in minor points as well. Great work from the team. Hope we can keep this up.
Thanks for the report Eden and congrats again to cunego!
Congrats cunego and thank you Eden for the exciting race. Very happy with Spengler's podium here, did not expect this result on such a hilly day. His lack of acceleration was painfully apparent but the cobbles at the end really allowed him to make up for it.
