Nice work from Verhelst, he's having a good season so far. I will not mention my worthless sprinter again.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Yeah, Tulik you little genius. He seems to be excel at CT1 lvl. The showing of the last two stages makes me almost forget the nonsense that was stage numero uno. Great stuff! 
The GC is the stage result btw, although I wouldn't mind Tulik leading the GC hehe

Yeah exactly how I feel.
Not that I could expect much by Taillefour but well. Stage 2 was pretty average for us, gratz to Strava for yet another breakaway team.
Moser very meh once again.
Glad to see that Boaro has some gc podium ambitions after stage 3

Argh. That break was really unnecessary. Not too surprising that Boonen wins the mass sprint but because of the break I cannot enjoy it.
Guess I have to settle for third on GC then.
Although the point jersey and young rider jersey are cool. (Atlantius will surely like it as well  )

Feel like my team set this stage up perfectly, letting the break just survive to get rid of the bonus seconds while not losing any real time in the GC. All up to Summerhill now to make his 38 seconds survive on the TT.

Yet another weird TT, with the favourite Van Winden losing 21" and Boaro not even in the top 10 
Overall, pretty unhappy about the outcome, lucky I didn't put the name down for too many C1 races...
Congrats to Azteca for yet another incredible show off of Summerhill and thanks to Tsmoha for the fantastically detailed reports.

Excellent race here!
Feel sorry for Baugnies. But well Boom just made it up to 4th here. Great job by him but also Vanmarcke and Nooytens, who worked for him.
Then 9th and 18th for those two add some nice extra points.
So it`s more or less only Groenewegen of my leaders, who has to start with some proper racing. Really can`t afford him to suck any longer.
Excellent reports tsmoha. Thanks once again. |

Thanks tsmoha for the quality coverage once again!
The last stage was nothing to think about us. Surprised that De Backer finished inside the points rank of the GC.
Gratz to Kent

 Summerhill
Much thanks for the report, happy to get the teams first GC win in our history and Summerhill is certainly doing everything I had hoped when I signed him perhaps even a bit more. Race went just about as the team had planned, didn't expect to lose as much time on stage 2 to Boonen as we did, but also probably didn't expect to gain so much on stage 1. The TT was a bit scary since Summerhill is awful at that discipline but luckily enough of the work was already done.

Got to say I'm pleased with 13th on GC considering only 2 riders finished the race for us, just wish Drucker could have held on with that group ahead of him on the opening stage as he had a strong TT and would have got a top 10 if he did.

Great reports throughout thanks TSM.
VDB did a solid job throughout here, and used his half-decent TT'ing skills to make the best he could of the race of the s.t. crowd. However his GC placing is the only point-scoring contribution of these 4-days, so although pleased with his results (as in line with his stats), the overall haul of less than 10 PPRD is still disappointing. Del Nero failed to back up his great day 1 ride, and everyone else was pretty anonymous. At least Van Zandbeek scraped a point out of the TT, but that is clutching at straws!
Congratz to Azteca - Summerhill has been pretty dominant in PCT classic season 2015 (and rightly so!).

In the end, another strong result by Boonen. Still, the break on stage 3 annoys me and I keep wondering what would have happened if it wasn't for that puncture. ..
( but I stop complaining now. At least my team did not pull a tom tom )
Aside of that, good team performance with Flaksis, Kulppi and Ingels all well placed and two jerseys are always great as well.
Special thanks for giving a pic of Kulppi in his young rider jersey. Much appreciated for the HQ

Nice timing to join a break by Vangenechten. Shame he was the weakest of the four. And strong timetrial by Gretsch and Oss.
Satisfied with Veelers' performance. The riders above him are all very strong, so no shame to be beaten by them.
Congrats to Azteca. Summerhill is unstoppable on the cobbles.

2nd and 3nd in the ITT, happy with that. Trentin should have done better, but not to shabby in the end with Stake Laengen and Dempster/Christensen. Still waiting for our first win though,,
