Woohoo! Very happy with 7th from Willwohl, proves that our lack of leadout train won’t be a mega problem if his decisions to get into the right wheel is on point.
Congrats to Tinxia and thanks for the report red

Congrats TinxiaS, your management is plainly superior to mine getting such a great result from Zabel!

4th place. Good start and nice to see our lead out was somewhat successful. Wanted a podium and need to be a bit disappointed. Still decent points to start our season off though! And Coquard was up there!

I hoped for a better result, but it’s not a complete failure either.
Congrats TinxiaS with the great start and thanks red for the report!

Underwhelming result, but some positives signs that the train is working okay, although Coutinho went a bit early this time. Hopefully this can be improved for the next race.
Congrats TinxiaS and thanks for the report!

Good to have the season underway. Great to see Red back at the mic. Zabel a good winner, congrats to Trans.
Not a great debut by Riabushenko but I think the longer classics with messier sprints are more his goal.

What was Sureda doing and why didn't Hamza try to sprint when Sureda was done and dusted!? Atleast Holzer preserved our honor with a top 25

Congrats to TinxiaS indeed! Always great to see a promoting team start off on a great foot.
Sadly no breakaway madness!

Great sprint train for Zabel here, maybe the new game is really good for him. I noticed that there are often 3-4 full sprint trains now, and pretty often the riders getting lead-outs end up doing well. Happy to see my former sprinter Page doing a great job here as well - and obviously congrats to Trans for a great start to the season

11th is on the lower end of the spectrum of acceptable results, can't complain too much. Much of Hodeg's season will be collecting points in that range with the hope for the occasional positive outlier, I think. Unfortunate that Bini didn't do anything, if this continues then he might have quite a few wasted race days but that was always a danger with his schedule.
Congrats TinxiaS, very nice win! And a very nice report, too, thanks for that red!

Congrats Tinxia, what a great way to start the season! Also good to see our sprinter-flat double punch seems to work out, great result by Rajovic and even some points from Katrasnik (who also was in position to follow late attacks) and Quispe. I also hope red will cover more of our flat classics, not only because of the great report itself but also because the close look he has on his loaned-out or former riders

Nice start to the pro career of Ivan Romeo, just outside the points.
Zabel win is cool to see, congrats Tinxia!

Not the result that i hoped for, but there is a room for improvement. At least we have some depth score.

Congrats Tinxia,. I somehow think it will be a long hard season for Glanbia apart from Meintjes days

What a ride from Zabel! It looks like leadouts are the way to go, early days though. Still looking forward to seeing how they work in long, hard classics.
Good first hit out from Peak as well. Think he’s in for a good season

Better start than I was expecting from Peak so happy with 3rd, though a shame to see him not get a leadout after sending Dekker and Brunel. Will be a lot of wasted RDs for them this season if that continues to be the case.
Congrats Tinxia and thanks for the report! |
