Glad the big guns took it, even though our former Ozzie Sulzi would of course been a nice winner, too. He came away with a podium, which should be fair enough 
Wish the other World champion had given his manager reasons to celebrate, too

Gratz to Richeze to take his first GC win and hopefully someone can challenge him  I'm not in Band 4, but hopefully that choice won't cost much. Also good seeing a sprinter take this race

Meeeh I exclusively bought Ratto for forming an OP sprint train and what happens? Belletti f*cks it up and Ratto can't keep it up on the flat 
At least Moser managed to take the right wheel, will just have to work on his top speed 
Nice report roturn and congrats to Ian, didn't really expect the favourite's win today.

Urg Peeters. Just when you think he can't become more disappointing, he does this.
Pelucchi not that bad but year, this should have been better for us.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Congrats Richeze and SanCor, you can thank us for closing the gap with the break 
Nice to see Tolleson and Santambrogio active in the last bit, but I had hoped for a better end result 
Thanks for the report roturn, nice read

Good to see an actual mass sprint taking place in a CT classic. Gives me hope for the other flat races

Yes! Magnificant for Richeze!
What a beautiful jersey to win in, too. His first race for us and immediately success!
What a wonderful start to the ManGame for me
And, of course, lovely report!

Not that 'actual' if you look at 3rd place.
The problem in CT is that there often isn't one, two or three strong teams willing to do the work for their leader. Luckily they made the catch here in the last kilometre.
Awesome win for Richeze and Sancor!

Great report roturn, super read. Very pleased with Corioni's second place, Richeze was a tad too strong today. This race gives me hope for some Corioni wins throughout the season. Gratz to Sancor.

Good win for Richeze and SanCor, well deserved.
Compal had loads of people up there at the 3km mark, but somehow only to rider-train. My hope was to see Jack Bauer leading out Park and then Matthews, but it didn't work out as planned. Anyway, first real point haul of the season and great to see that we're getting closer to our first win.
Thank you for the amazing report roturn! |

Congratulations to Ian, Richeze never looked like losing.
Whole team finishing nearly 15mins down.. Well, at least we made the break I guess. And at last, our season has finally started! Cant wait for Benelux!
And thanks for the report Roturn, very entertaining.

So this season can and will get worse for me. Sorensen? Really? Aren't you like 67 overall? And somehow both my sprinters get caught behind. That's great.

I can't really claim to be surprised about my team being crap here. After all my main sprinter only had one really good day last year and can't seem to handle any kind of hills or wind while also having a tendency to be poorly placed
