Holy cow, Richeze done it. Wow. Great riding for the Agrentinian team (apart from some misunderstands). After his teammate succes, Polanc really need to try to go in breakaway in the A worlds  |

Really pleased to see that this was a sprint and indeed a team that built a sprint train actually won it. Though the Greek train was stronger you always felt that one of the South American fast men would get close.
Still nice to see a battle between the Danes, Czechs, Greeks and Argentineans and a really decent winner.
Made me laugh about people looking at that hill and going for punchaers this is definately a sprint course - wind is the biggest factor against a pure sprint I think. It is possible that a big flat man could nick away though as Kvist tried.
Really good read that report too - liked that Alarcon got the mention

Terrific race! Kvist's late attack was dramatic and oh boy was he close! The sprint was clsoe as anything. Basically all the signs are there for a great series of races.
Not going to talk about Bulgaria, we sucked. But great to send a team to Worlds week at all.

Good to see a small attempt from Olli early on. Nonetheless the Finnish race overall has some good symbolic value for my season.
Great report and nice to see that the route sets the foundation for some good racing with an odd chance for the strong attacket towards the end. We should be in for some good races in the rest as well.

Lots of highly placed danes, thought for a moment that Kvist could do it, but he obviously wasn't strong enough. Decent effort from Jørgensen also. Congrats to Richeze, brilliant sprint to end a good race.

Wow, that was a great race! From our point of view, both really exciting to see so many Compal-riders (and former Armavia) in the breakaway, but in the same time painful to watch Anuar Manan with a nasty fall in the end. I think we've never been that involved in a race before, so that's definitely something to build on, even though it's just a B-world.
Richeze with a superb finishing and it will be really fun to watch Argentina fighting it out in the A-worlds. |

Bad luck for Kvist, he was damn close!
However nice to see sprinters make it, pity Richeze eventually outsprinted young czech Vesely. Great report!

Bit surprised and slightly disappointed Hochmann didn't sprint, although Vesely's 2nd is a good justification. Iglinski not doing anything is more surprising and disappointing. However, him not winning isn't really surprising to me.

Rooting for Kvist at the end there. Would've been a great victory for my former rider. Seems like the sprinter teams had control at the end, well done by Argentina to get the win.
Now it is time for pozzato to win using Kvist's tactic, copy of Lisboa

Wow, Kvist almost took it. Really good effort.
Meanwhile, Razzie is the best Dane, just as I bet and predicted.

Thanks for the great report, SN!
Thought Kvist had it for a second, and certainly a very entertaining race for a flat one, I think. Also interesting to see all riders in the top 5 with a hill stat above 65, I really do believe it counts for something with such a profile.
Congratulations to Richeze and jaxika! |

Very happy to make a small contribution to the win (even though looked a bit dodgy for a while there with the lead out getting split). 6th, 12th and 13th from our Argy-Bargy boys and Golas with good showings.
Pleased that Haedo and Richeze (jnr) now also get a hit out at the 'A' race.
Thanks to SN for the nice report. Still think with the strength of riders in the 'A' race there is some chance for a break, but as is a 'flat' worlds, odds still sit with the sprinters (as it should imo).

Very close and exciting race in the end. In the elite RR a break might even make it to the end if it's one of the top rouleurs.
Thanks for the report!

Oh, that was really, really close and exciting finish! Vesely was surprisingly strong and picked up a right train, but Richeze was stronger and deservedly took the win!
Big thanks for the report!

Well done Richeze! This secures another FCB-Polska rider in the Worlds!
I was hoping for a better performance of the Polish team but it seems our two leadouts didn't have the best race...

Great report, SN. Thrilling finish there and indeed a sign, that a premium roleur may stand a chance in the Elite RR!
Still good to see the sprinters delivering. Tight sprint and a huge win for Richeze. Kinda miscalculated the Chinese team's chances, i guess
