Thanks to wj and Imladrik for the preview and report and congrats to Mantez for some more Khamberaj magic! Hodeg with a total no show as feared, at least we were in the break.

Had hoped for more, but at least we got points on the board.
Thanks for the report Imladrik and congrats Mantez!

I am very much sensing a Bralirwa - Podium Ambitions - SEE Turtles breakaway and then hopefully letting the 77/78 sprinters find a couple major sets of slipstreams and deliver a surprise result.
Anything top 15 would meet expectations for me, and clearly exceed them against the favorites list.
Guess that just having a sprinter in the field, when they are 30 positions off the front means they won't sprint even if they're your best rider. Muhindo stops us from having a terrible day by scoring - and really that's all I guess I can ask for.
Congrats Mantez on a great start!

Congrats to Mantez and thanks to Imladrik for the report.
Thankfully there aren't too many flat classics on our calendar.

Had hopes for something bigger than 9th for Enger, but we still manage to get almost 100 points, because the team effort is decent.
Amazing win Manez, really cool to see Stela-Vita winning here, when we failed 
And thank you Imladrik for making such a great report of such a short race  |

Well a 4th place in a race, with this many good sprinting opponents? Good start to the season!

I could also copy and paste my Gisborne comments with Kennett's name instead of Boswell's so I will:
Well that's exactly what Kennett is for..an encouraging start. Thanks for the report!
Seriously though he proved last year he was capable of scoring good points even at HC so I am not a bit surprised
Thanks for the report and congrats Mantez

I guess Perera is doing his job here - making sure flat races aren't totally absent of points for us. Thanks for the report Imladrik and congrats to Mantez on taking the first PCT win of the season.

Hoping this result is just the typical short flat classic syndrome, because none of the top favourites seeming bothered ain't a good look 
Congrats Mantez! What a result for your main man though - already living up to last season's expectations.
