Not ideal start by us for Wisniowski’s cobbles campaign. Kind of hopeful having 5 riders in the group at 43 seconds bodes decent for races to come and his support. A bit worrying to see Anderberg work hard for him relatively early, though, when the peloton was still big. Hopefully we can save him for later in the races to come.
Congratulations Bralirwa, but also to Binance. What a race for both! Stallaert you could argue was expected to fight for the win seeing how the race developed, Binance on the other hand: Sensational performance!
Also thank you for a different kind of report, liefwarrior. I enjoyed it |

I'll take those points, thank you very much!
Nice reporting style and a nice winner as well!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Congrats to Bralirwa!
As expected Teunissen's slow finish cost him a lot of points here.
But luckily it was compensated by a monster ride from Godon!
After being in the break all day he manages to reel in Bewley during the finale and still finishes 10th!?! Glad I signed him already.

I'm happy with the race. We were aggressive and the result is fairly good (from a rider that wasnt expected to deliver so much). Not sure how Neilands lost so much ground in the finish but with how close the group looked in the finish, it could be only a couple of meters explaining the drop.
Congrats to cunego, Stallaert still a machine early this year
Thank lief! Report was great.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Wow, above and beyond my hopes here, the three in the breakaway was brilliant, and then hanging onto the peloton to finish 26th (love Jams), 30th (great first ever race by Young) and 31st (Vermeersch at L1, will be back for 30 places higher at max) was amazing, 14 points doesn't seem like that much to some but when our cobbles line-up here was 71-70-69 it's 14 more than we should have got on paper, and I love it
Great race for Binance!! And also of course Bralirwa, Stallaert making a good return swipe to McCarthy's TDU win in the predicted title race Thanks for the report lief, enjoy your style a lot with it's uniqueness and presentation

Much better result than I expected! Seems like a better result would have been possible, but it's fine as it is. We showed our colors and animated the race at times and Bewley still managed to play his sprint skills to a nice result.
Thanks for the report!

I enjoyed the interesting reporting style more than the results, thank you liefwarrior
It's looking like we are on a fast track back to the PCT at this rate. Happy we were able to keep the bunch together to make sure it ended in a bunch sprint for Spengler. Congrats to Cunego and Stallaert.

WOW what a race...
Venturini was superb, he was on the break of the day and almost did get a victory that would be historic for the team, on top of that Blythe fulfilled what I expected and got a brilliant 4th place, with 1 or more 2 points from Bush and Lerberghe.
This was without a doubt a great race for us and it is this kind of results that can put us at the front of the standings at the end of the season.
Congrats Bralirwa and thanks for a different but brilliant report liefwarrior

Well, we're surely going down if we continue like that. Hopefully we'll adjust our style after seeing how this race went. |

A good result from Gerts given he is not the most gifted sprinters. Obviously, we would have liked more points given our current situation, but we'll take this.

Very nice report with lovely pictures unfortunately the cobble curse continues... very frustrating.
