Happy with second from the bunch for Demare, particularly looking at the randomness all over.
We're finally getting this on the road and I hope the good stretch keeps going.
Pedersen and Wisniowski are just the perfect rouleur duo, aided by the regression in PCM sprint preparation AI but still deserved. Congrats Grieg!
Get the comment about the flat classics always being won by attackers. But that is not my experience in PCM20 outside the mangame. I was actually thinking the opposite - that attacks never work. So maybe how the peloton is composed, or just a fluke.
Another late attack winner, what is this madness? Good to see Howard actually sprint, a shame it wouldn’t have been for the victory though. Awesome to see Pedersen and Wis battle it out in front though, almost master v apprentice feeling to it - Pedersen is too good though.
That was finaly a nice bright light after a few weaker performances in other races. Selig defenetly surpiced with 6th place. He is probably the weakest leader in sprints compare to other leaders from different teams.
Congrats to winner and thank for preview and report.
A little bit better than 15th would've been nice but these are not the kind of races I can count to score on. It was nice to see my loanee Chaiyasombat in the break! Thanks for the report, Abhishek!
There's always a chance things doesn't work out very well, and the breakaway guys takes the glory, but there's no excuse for the best sprinter in the bunch to miss the target this badly. Fortunately Coquard has had a great season, and to miss out on a PTHC race is probably best case scenario in the long run. Still very dissapointing to come away from this race not even remotely close to our top 3 pre-race target.
Another congrats to Pedersen, who seems to work wonders this season!
