Two in the top ten, four in the top 17 and my whole team in the top 40. I think that alone is better than my entire cobbles campaign last season. Great start and good to see Phinney finally able to get a top result in one of these races.
Hoping they don't capitulate in the longer races like they have done before.

3rd place is nice, 15th from Veelers too. Thanks TR!

Very disappointing race for Italo with Ghyslelinck as 20th the best. Definitely expected more from Roelandts and Vandenbergh. |

Well they only won the CT rankings only once so far and that very close. I would be surprised if they win again this season.

A good 7th place for Boom in a very strong field. Vermont with a top 20 and I'm quite happy with our start to the cobbles season

No real focus on cobbles, yet I expected a bit better from Gaudin...

This season has been so depressing so far for us. Even in lesser races such as OHN, where we used to ironically excel in our first 2 years, we step up our shit performing game.

Only just catching up after a few days off, so I'm flicking through the results only to discover...
HOLY CRAP WE'RE ACTUALLY A GOOD TEAM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4th in World Tour rankings after the first two months is amazing. First Slagter, then Mollema delivering again at Pais Vasco after a solid January, not just surviving but taking the race by storm and winning three of the next four stages to take the race lead for two days. I can only hope this 1-2 punch will continue to be effective in the few races they share later in the season.
I still think this team needs some good luck to avoid relegation by the end of the season, since aside from the two big recruits we haven't done a lot. However, this is beyond my wildest expectations and I plan on enjoying it for as long as it lasts.

Kenny Elissonde!!! First Sevilla's victory in WT. It's been a huge season so far for us. If we can keep this pace we might even get a top 5 in final ranking. Let's see if Elissonde can make it a top 10 GC as Velits did in Pais Vasco

I really really like Sevillas lineup, last season I did already, so it's fantastic to see how they're going! I have just seen this and it's such an honor to get this comments from you. Thanks a lot!

A good podium for Atapuma on stage 3. Hopefully, he can keep his momentum going for the rest of the race.

Nothing at all so far. A top 10 for Colbrelli, but that should have been more too.

Good start for Dombro. He narrowly missed out on the podium here last year so let's see what he can do now he's a bit stronger and with the team completely dedicated to him.

Forlani had a good start to the season, and we was at once 15th in the team rankings, now it looks like we are seeing the reality...

Forlani? Like, the same Forlani who rode for me last 2 seasons and filled spots when I had no one to send to races? Wow times have a-changed.

Well I expected a lot more from Meersman on these 3 stages, only stage 4 to take that target win.
Stupid race by my team so far...
Congrats Javi, looks great for you until now especially with that Elissonde screamer!
