Impressive TT by Abreu to beat teammates Sebright and Meier. I'm happy with that.

Not impressed by Úran, but I'd rather he has a disappointing continental time trial than an actual point scoring race. There's time to improve...

Boom clearly was stolen a spot there by Gesink seeing his performance.
Keizer best of all stage races. Can live with this. Solid 5th by him.
Thanks Roman and well done to Fiedler. |

Shows the benefit of having two favourites.  Gratz Gustaf.
Thanks for the awesome TT reports so far Roman!

Quite a ride from Viviani, and of course Fiedler, winning it as one of the pre-race favourites. Congratulations, Gustavovskiy! Will be interesting to follow TTs this season too with those variations, despite I've got no rider to give it a proper go.
Thank you for the work so far, Roman. Looking forward to the road races! |

Coppel narrowly beating Cornu to an extend where he is listed as not beating him
Not really very good looking at the season to come, but let's hope that the day off is here, and he will continue to perform much like last season instead. Otherwise this will become a season to forget.
Decent 8th from Vlatos though. Let's hope he will have something similar (or sometimes better) to show this season, so he again will get some individual succes. A lot of Greek succes lies on his shoulders now.

Could definitely do with seeing more of that from Cornu this season!

I'd really like to see Viviani top 10 the ITT Euros even though I know it's kinda hard. Last year he flat out sucked and he was kinda underwhelming the rest of the season after all, just bad luck on bad luck
Looks like Viviani will be our Van Winden this season then

Well, that's certainly a fitting result for the first Oceania Championship Road Race. Congrats to tsmoha!

That's how you treat your challengers
I was slightly afraid when Morton already went with 40km to go, but he seemed to be in shape and just crushed the competition again. Obviously a must-win, but I'm still glad he didn't f***ed up.
Pleased to see Haig <3 and Dyball rounding up the podium. Always good to have attacking riders and as we screwed the ITT, it's even more pleasant to make it a 1-2-3 in the road race.

That's what happens when you put a PT team up against CT teams, kinda awesome though.
Fun to see a race on roads I've ridden as well, although I remember Tawonga Gap as being freezing cold and very foggy but that was Winter.

Roe did amazing against the challengers!! 4th place is a great result and he should be very proud! We are looking for great things from Roe this season and a 3rd in the ITT and 4th in the RR is a great confidence booster!
We see now that Jayco has the best Oceania riders. However with Roe getter 4th it shows we are well on our way to be up with Jayco!

Wow Jayco  Hoped for a podium so a little disappointed with 5th, especially not getting best non-Jayco rider But congrats to Morton and tsmoha, they deserve it! Also good to see our stagiare Afoa already in the breaks

It shows, that Roe enjoyed his year with Jayco
But seriously: nice to see him on 4th (even though a Top-5 was always going to be his goal to achieve here). Fun fact: 11 from the race's Top-13 rode for Oz for at least one season in their careers (wish to say it were 12... yeah, I'm looking at you, Paddy Bevin).
