hmm after looking at the video I guess Wyss could have done better then a 15th place. Looks like he was a little trapped in the spurt at the end. But once again this race was just to start the season did not expect much.
SN, the video and twitter-concept is absolutely brilliant! Even though I'm not competing in this race, I followed it with great pleasure from my work when I had time for it. Just want to thank you and all the other Man-Game reporters for all the spare time you use for this project. I am sure that I speak for everyone here, that we are really thankfull for all the hard work that you guys are doing! Can't wait for the CT2-division to open!
Good tactical racing gave Ginanni the win, and Rapha a early lead. Interesting race, too bad I've been too busy with moving and everything to see it before now :/
7th by Flügel, I can live with that, he seemed to be the most active of all the riders, could've won if he had been lucky Hopefully he will keep up racing like this ;-) (Well by Preidler to, tbh)
4th with Gautier is completely unexpected but not unwelcome. I guess the uphill sprint suits a more punchy guy like him. I'm a bit disappointed that Vanendert faded so much, but I guess his attacks earlier had worn him out.

Good job boys!
When I was doing the planner, I realized that turned out to be a really good deal for me. Both Arndt and Kwiatkowski are going to be really important in doing the grunt work in a lot of races - and Arndt even managed to get ranking points in his first ever race .
Really, really nice first race of the season and especially, really great reporting, it's here finally!
That reminds me I should complete my planner tomorrow..
And as like A_Schleck I will definetely supporting my loanies in CT this year, so I am really proud that Ole Hirschlein presented his team in the real first attack of this season. And in the end it was quite solid race for Aker Solutions - I think at least 9th and 13th places are quite solid.

Same with my Preidler, who I before the transfers saw as a "mini-Arndt"
How malicious of you having started the racing in the eve of my last exam, SN. Shame on you
It seems I missed on all the action seeing all the twitter frenzy. It seems there's another source of interest in the Man-Game with all this dynamic you've put into it. Congrats and thanks again SN.
About the racing. Well I must say I'm thrilled with my team's performance... or should I say Portela's performance? My expectations were low given the squad I brought here, but Portela really overperformed and was just outside the top. I'm really proud of him and satisfied that his signing wasn't in vain.
