The Race
pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/profiles/c1_ger.jpg

We’re in Belgium, on the cobblestones again, and one question is on everybody’s mind. Can Andorra with their fierce duo of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Vanspeybrouck be stopped? Let’s find out:

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/01.jpg

The race starts right off with the first two ascents and no one dares to attack yet. However, we do have the first riders falling off the pace. This is going to be a long day for pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/adp.png Robert and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Schomber and not one likely to end with a finish within the time limit.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/02.jpg

12 kilometers into the race on the flat section between the hills, we finally have the first breakaway attempt. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Vahtra and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Drucker make the move. The latter is actually a really solid cobblestone rider. Adastra don’t have a serious contender here, so they figure it might be a good idea to send one of their two leaders up ahead early.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/03.jpg

The duo was already two minutes ahead and probably not too happy about being all alone when another wave of riders decided to attack. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Doull initiates the move, followed by pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/mol.png Lovassy, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/trg.png Hoelgaard, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Van Hoecke, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Martins Sandoval and with a little gap pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/zal.png Giorgi Nareklishvili. A very potent group - relatively speaking.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/04.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/zal.png Nareklishvili fell back to the peloton, then pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/mol.png Lovassy breaks free of his companions on the first climb of the second lap. The leading duo is 40 seconds ahead, the peloton only 40 seconds behind the quartet now led by pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Martins Sandoval.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/05.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Drucker already leaves pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Vahtra behind and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Doull has trouble following the rest of the escapees - this is a gruesome course.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/06.jpg

4 riders reunite between laps 2 and 3: pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Drucker, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Van Hoecke, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/mol.png Lovassy and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Martins Sandoval. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/trg.png Hoelgaard is trailing at around a minute but isn’t coming closer, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Vahtra and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Doull are in the peloton again, another 1’10 behind.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/07.jpg

At the end of the fourth lap, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Martins Sandoval can’t keep up, leaving a trio ahead. The three leaders have a five minute lead on the peloton at this point.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/08.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/09.jpg

At around the half way point of the race, the Mexican is caught. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Andorra, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Podium Ambition and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Lierse have been the driving forces in the peloton, but the pace is still relatively calm. 135 riders remaining, the gap is down to just under four minutes again.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/10.jpg

A few kilometers later, after lap 7 of 11, a first split occurs in the peloton. Riders on the wrong side of it include pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Orue, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/trg.png Maes and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/sct.png Saber, but most contenders are attentive. This split would close again, but only after quite a bit of time and a lot of effort.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/11.jpg

At the start of lap 8, with still more than 60 kilometers to go, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/adp.png Joseph attacks from the peloton. He is Aramco’s best bet for a decent result today and it seems like he chooses the long range attack strategy to go for just that.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/12.jpg

However, he’s swept up by pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Kireva just as pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Schomber gets lapped for the second time. Andorra continues to lead the now 100 men strong peloton - but we can expect that to shrink soon.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/13.jpg

Indeed, as they exit the two climbs, 30 riders break free from the rest of the peloton. The top favorites are all in there, but guys like pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/kmm.png Zhupa and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/cap.png Ferreira are in the first chasing group, while pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/trg.png Maes, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Richardson and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Orue have fallen even further behind.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/14.jpg

Meanwhile, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Van Hoecke has lost touch with pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/mol.png Lovassy and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Drucker. Passing through some lapped riders, he is about to be swept up by the peloton - by now comprised of 44 riders including those that were in the pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/kmm.png Zhupa and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/cap.png Ferreira group. The two leaders still have around 1’10 on them.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/15.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/16.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Eeckhout is the main guy putting pressure on the peloton in lap 9, and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill is already in position in his wheel. So far, everything is going according to plan for Andorra, but no big opponent has shown any weakness so far and they surely don’t want to leave things to a sprint. Still 40 kilometers to go though.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/17.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/mol.png Lovassy is using every bit of slipstream he can get. He’s now the lone survivor up ahead as we see pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Drucker getting swallowed by the peloton. 50 seconds left - this is of course not about staying ahead until the end, but trying to gain ground on as many other riders as possible to end up in the points. And it’s MOL’s only shot at getting any points at all, since all of his teammates have fallen behind a long time ago.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/18.jpg

With pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Havik and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/adp.png Russo struggling, Duolingo and Aramco are also out of riders in the main group (pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/adp.png Joseph had to pay for his early attack and fell behind as well). Other teams without a rider in that group include pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/zal.png DK - SVA Zalgiris, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/trg.png Tryg - Ritter Sport and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Azteca - NBCSN, but pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Richardson is chasing and not too far behind.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Lander is still holding on for Adastra, although just barely, and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Drucker is now in there as well of course, while Farfetch’d actually still has all three of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png van den Berg, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Salzmann and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten in there.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/19.jpg

On the descent heading onto the flat for the penultimate time, a group of 12 split from the rest of the peloton. Those 12 are:
pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhillpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Alturpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Owenpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/rpn.png Vanmarcke

A bit of a surprise to see pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill all alone after all of the team’s work, and a few of his rivals still have a teammate with them.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/20.jpg

23 riders follow 40 seconds later:
pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentinpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Ostergaardpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Vanspeybrouckpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Eeckhout

And finally, another 35 seconds behind, a group of 10:

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/kmm.png Zhupapcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/kmm.png Walslebenpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/kmm.png Vermeerschpcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Machado

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/nca.png Kumarapcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/anh.png Grashev


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/duo.png Havik is still chasing them, but all other bigger names are out of contention.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/21.jpg

As we’re about to hit the hills for the second-to-last time, the big guy attacks! pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill accelerates and with almost taunting ease, he brings 40 seconds between himself and his chasers.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/22.jpg

Said chasing group, led by the incredible pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lph.png Coronel, has grown to 24 riders. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Vanspeybrouck, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Vanbilsen, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Bolivar, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/cap.png Ferreira, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/nca.png Van Keirsbulck, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/bak.png Breen, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Moulingui, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Thwaites, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/pol.png Bush, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Chatarunga and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten are the guys who bridged across, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/mol.png Lovassy is also in there now.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/23.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/pol.png Bush is the first to attack, trying to follow pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/rpn.png Vanmarcke go after him.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/24.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot counters as well, then there’s a gap!


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/25.jpg

And with 20 kilometers to go, they actually make it to the American! What an unusual group this is!


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/26.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lph.png Baugnies is the next man chasing, alone ahead of a group of six including pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Altur, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Vanbilsen, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Daniel, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Bolivar and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Kaislavuo. We’re seeing some tremendous domestique performances here today!


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/27.jpg

Then it’s pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/bak.png Breen, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Vanspeybrouck (a little underwhelming so far, but of course not pressured to do much), pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Debesay, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/nca.png Van Keirsbulck and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/pol.png Van Asbroeck. They are just over a minute behind the leaders. Things could come back together on the flat stretch, but it’s tough to see anyone behind these having any impact from here on out.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/cap.png Ferreira is the biggest name caught out, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Moulingui, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Thwaites and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Chatarunga have also suffered a lot over these past kilometers.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/28.jpg

At the front, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill wants to make sure everyone knows who’s the strongest, he gets some seperation again. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot is trying to bring the others back, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/pol.png Bush and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten seem to be struggling a bit.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/29.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/30.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot is showing incredible strength here, catching back up to pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill. But they now only have 25 seconds on their first chasing group (the Xero rider is poor pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Schomber being lapped for the third time).


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/31.jpg

Here’s the situation heading into the finale. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten is suffering quite a bit at the moment, immediately being overtaken by the chasers around pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Altur, but he’s still on pace for a Top 15 result, possibly 11th, if he can manage his energy. The Top 10 seem to have been decided, just the order is still in question. And that’s the big question, of course.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/32.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot still carry 20 seconds into the final 5 kilometers. The gradients from now on should suit the Fablok leader - can he pull an upset?


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/33.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Debesay and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Altur lead the chasers through rows of lapped riders. The leaders look so close, but at 15%, the perspective is a little distorted.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/34.jpg

A quick look back where we see that pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten is trying his best to hold on. He still has around 45 seconds to the next group, where pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Kaislavuo (on the right) is actually gaining a little seperation from the likes of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/nca.png Van Keirsbulck, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Vanbilsen, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Bolivar and even his leader pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Daniel! Behind those, a somewhat larger group around pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Richardson and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/cap.png Ferreira has formed.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/35.jpg

But back to the front, where we have more action! pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Debesay and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin have attacked in a final bid to bridge to gap to the front.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/36.jpg

That acceleration marks the end of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/rpn.png Vanmarcke’s dreams of a podium spot for today. He’s done, but his 10th place is fairly secure.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/37.jpg

Interestingly, it’s pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Vanspeybrouck bringing the attackers back, maybe he wants to challenge for himself after all? pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot enter the final kilometer still with those precious 20 seconds, the Belgian leading the way.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/38.jpg

We’re inside the final kilometer now! pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill either can’t or doesn’t want to go to the front, but if he’s playing games, it’s very dangerous: pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lph.png Baugnies is blasting up the hill at great speed on the other side of the road. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/bak.png Breen and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin are following most closely - pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Debesay and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/pol.png Bush are struggling!


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/39.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lph.png Baugnies apparently overdid it. He’s being overtaken first on the left by pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin, who’s currently in third place, then on his right by pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Vanspeybrouck. On the right side of the road, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot maintain their gap, but just barely. The American slowly moves ahead as they come closer and closer to the finish line, the road flattening ever so slightly now. (Lots of lapped riders here …)


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/40.jpg

It’s a fight between three men now, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill just ahead of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot. Can pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin overtake them?


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/41.jpg

No! It’s a favorite’s win after all, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Summerhill takes it! pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Benoot was a fantastic challenger today and is rewarded with the second place, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/map.png Trentin comes in third.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/42.jpg

It’s a bit tough to keep an overview with all those lapped riders, but let me try to help: pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Vanspeybrouck (#8, furthest ahead on the right) has taken a decisive lead over the other chasers, he’ll finish fourth. The next five riders are those closest to the camera with the exception of Xero’s #72: pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lph.png Baugnies still holds on to a tiny advantage over pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/bak.png Breen, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Altur and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/pol.png Bush, who has recovered as has pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Debesay, all still fighting for places 5-9.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/43.jpg

In the end, no one had any energy left for a big acceleration. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lph.png Baugnies finishes fifth ahead of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/t3a.png Altur, who beats pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/bak.png Breen, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/pol.png Bush and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Debesay.


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/44.jpg

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/rpn.png Vanmarcke finishes 10th …


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Reports/HC/GerBos/45.jpg

… while pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten, today’s biggest positive surprise so far, is struggling! pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Kaislavuo is coming at a much higher pace, trying to steal the “surprise of the day” title on the last few meters, and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Bolivar and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/nca.png Van Keirsbulck are closing in on the left hand side as well! pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Vanbilsen and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Daniel are both outclassed by their domestiques here!

And indeed, it’s pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Kaislavuo who finishes 11th. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fpc.png Menten is 12th ahead of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Bolivar and defending champion pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/nca.png Van Keirsbulck. It was always very likely that he would not be able to defend that title, but finishing inside the Top 15 is a good effort in this field.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Vanbilsen and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Daniel share the title of most negative surprises of the day, even getting pushed out of the Top 15 by pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/and.png Eeckhout at the very end. While they’re decent riders for the hills, it seems possible that the way these ascents were ridden may have required some steady climbing ability as well, something both sorely lack. But given some of the riders ahead of them, that can’t be the only reason - just a bad day for both of them.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Daniel even loses another place at the line to pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/azt.png Richardson, who led his group up the hill in pursuit. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/vvg.png Kulppi finishes next, giving Valio a lot of depth scoring at least. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/xr0.png Schreurs rounds out the Top 20 ahead of pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/fcj.png Cominelli and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/lpu.png Gamper. pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/cap.png Ferreira sneaks into the points in 28th place, pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/gcn.png Thwaites is the next best team leader in 34th.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/adp.png Al Murawwi and pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2020/Micros/trg.png Zimmermann are the final riders to make it today, which means that just 5 riders miss the time limit.


In some ways, this was a result to be expected: Andorra controlled the race and ended up with the winner and fourth place. But we also had some surprises, including our runner up and plenty of breakout domestique performances, all the way up into the Top 15. This necessarily leaves a few riders and managers disappointed, that is the sometimes cruel nature of these classics. But for the neutral observer, there was plenty to stay glued to the screen.
