Very impressive and fun to follow report, really did the race justice. Obviously the result is what everyone expected, so congrats Roman!
As for my team, I was really surprised to see De Buyst and Van Lerberghe get so involved, so I'd already say that signing them was the correct decision in order to help Theuns out. Wasn't Theuns' most brilliant race but the fact he still managed to string together an extremely solid 6th is a testament to how he's among the best cobblers this year (and he might get better in the next few years his manager thinks )
Stunning report. Great coverage and this way I got a lot more Aegon pictures than I ever could expect. Obviously nothing, we can deliver regularly and probably neither should.
Van der Poel did well here for me being one of the strongest in the break but was never possible to make it.
Decent top50 by Hooydonck, who will be semi decent next year and even better the year afterwards. Might have a cobbler in my team then finally.
4 more top100 shows some depth but obviously just small points for now.
Bewley as expected, behind a nice fight of some expected and some smaller surprises. Nice race in total.
Thanks for the report! Just a tad too late for race of the year award, but people will remember for next year.

Ha ha no was not the intention to harvest any points from the Award's here, was just the idea to mentions every single hill or cobbled sector based on Leon's wonderful map.
Brilliant report. Brilliant preview. Thank you a lot, Tamijo!
I enjoyed the racing too. Congratulations on the expected win, Roman, and also to Tinkov and DD for their podium places. Huge results for all three!
Regarding Aker - MOT, cool to see "Silva opens the race". A pity that was it! Hopefully we'll come back here in a later season though and fight for better placings and coverage
