I just have one question, on twitter it looks like people can see the race lie, is this the case? Or are they just responses to update tweets from SN?
Check out my ManGame team here

SN just posted some things like attack, crash etc.
So it was some kind of liveticker with less information.
Pretty well to follow imo. |

Technology is desperate to kill the man game today. First PCM crashes at the finish of attempt 1, now Firefox crashes at the end of report 1.

The show must go on ... This is a memorable season opener. I hope all the races are like this!  (Well not the game crashes. )

Without even competing in this race, the live twitter feed and the few small videos SN teased us with has made it a very exciting season opener!
Hopefully, technology will take our side soon, though. I'm prepared to make a sacrifice to satisfy the gods of technology

Great to find this when finally coming home
I spotted an Aker Solutions - Bergans rider in the breakaway in the very first video, shame that breakaway didn't "count"
And I must say, it is great pictures from the race, really nice graphic. |

10th place is not bad. The field was full of strong riders.

Darn, I was hoping, Lagutin would do better with a decent hill and sprint stat, than that. But its not like I predicted much success this season. Congrats to Ginanni, and Rapha for having three in the top 10.

Great report!
Congratulations to fenian, taking the first win of the year. For my own team, I'm very pleased. Having two guys in the breakaway, Roux making a nice 9th, and Rovira surprising me with a 13th. A very nice start. The result list has Roux as 13th, and Rovira as 9th, but I guess that is just a minor mistake, as you've written Roux as 9th on a screenshot?
But that was great reading!  |

Verspa and Bianchi too good. Unlucky the South Africans couldn't please today, guess they get another chance in a few months time. |

The results are right, Rovira ahead of Roux

I hate PCM11.. I read it too quickly and thought the line would be the finish.. Maybe Claeys thought that too 
Again 2nd.. I hate this classic..
Can't wait for the next 3 races as Bianchi is also there
Vuelta al Tachira with Lloret
And the Down Under Week with the classic and the Tour with Ciolek and Rabon

Then I'm even more pleased with Rovira, thanks for clearing up |

Glad to see our young gun Michael Vink in the break and his 39th is not that bad  Great live-reports, SN. Awesome. As thrilling as real racing

If not more, because you can't see what is going on.

It's like borrowing your friend's iPhone in school during the Tour, and reading the CN text commentary. |

In the end you have to take your hat off to Vespa, it seems their team worked to get it all back together and ended up taking it in a thriller.
Bianchi and Rapha Condor had a tremendous start to the season also with new teams Aker Solutions and Bpost really showing themselves.
For Jayco, it was slightly disappointing in some aspects to only manage the best finish of 16th, after getting seven riders in the last 41 lead group. Though it is pleasing to at least have been there in the fight.

While you almost had your whole team heading towards the finish, my race was already over. So now its on to the Vuelta al Tachira which suits my team a lot better. Congrats to everyone that did well.

Pretty much what we expected a 15th by Wyss, fun that the season is started!
Next year we will have Hoogerland as captain in these kind of races, then perhaps we become more dangerous.
