Zero luck in these sprint classics this year. With AKA's backups like flat and resistance, getting dropped from the first group just shouldn't happen. It's just random, and that sucks. 20th is a very bad result.
Happy to see the favorite win though. Congrats to Sotd! Thanks for the report.

That could've gone so much worse. Congrats SotD and thanks for the report!
Edit: Bonifazio is still going to be fired of course.

Coquard can't loose this year, so we need to be happy with 2nd and take that. Great report!

Coquard unstoppable this season, congrats SotD!
Howard nestling himself in the top-10 is all we could have hoped for so have to be happy with that. Thanks for the report!

Coquard has been brilliant, and that's another statement made by him. Congratulations, SotD!
Seems like the AI tends to only give us one bullet in such races regarding the late attacks. Would have loved to see Konychev and Kragh both try their luck, to put even more pressure on the domestiques. Well done, Katrasnik, who picked the right moment to attack. 4th is a great reward! |

Bagioli nabbing 12th in a flat classic is a welcome surprise!

I enjoyed the race a lot more this year than usual because those splits made this race quite interesting and that sort of thing has become increasingly rare. Very glad to see Katrasnik getting a lot of points out of his brave attempt near the end.
Congrats to SotD and Cro, always good to see the top dogs coming out of a sprint classics with top honors.
We got 2 points from this and sadly, i cant expect much more from a race like this in this year without a sprinter and without reasonable late attackers. So the more important part of this race race was to see whether the teams in the relegation fight that are still within reach would deliver - and Huski as the main team to watch did really well here with a podium and narrowed the gap a lot. Still think my remaining schedule should be strong enough but its worth keeping an eye on.
Spoiler Also cool to see the latvian top talent Krasts in the break
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Congrats to SotD with the victory! We're glad that Eislers had made it back to the front group in the end. A 13th place is slightly dissapointing, but better than nothing 
Thanks Abhi for the excellent report!

Great attempt by Cedevita there, would've loved to see it pay off even more than it already did!
Arnaud finished where he was predicted to, which is always a good outcome in sprints, particularly as he could've faded out of the Top 10 with some bad luck.
It was great to see our new addition O'Brien in the chase so close to the finish, and Steimle did a decent job to add some more points too.
Congrats SotD! It's good to see your years of complaining paying off. 
Thanks Abhi!

Catching up a bit. Pedersen tried his best, but just not the race for an attack this time. Always prefer seeing him going for the win though, so happy with the race.
Congrats on the win, SotD!

Another good result from Samolenkov, reminder for myself to make sponsorkits for the PTHC races as well.
