Wasn't a horrible race for us. Hopefully Kinoshita will have a better year next year. Thanks for the report.

Damn it, Riesebeek! Why can you not defend that Tasmania leader shirt? 
A very bittersweet end to the season. I kinda prayed for either a victory or a total failure once Isostar completely secured the title. Not particularly happy about the wage implication of the victory when it doesnt change a single thing for the rankings but outside of the PT title, i had a second longterm goal in my mind which is winning the career grand slam (all 5 monuments) as a team and this brings me a big step closer towards that goal.
Love the way Lopez won the race too. The strongest and the bravest in pack and well assisted by the rest of the team 
Thanks guys!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Congrats knockout, MAL waay too strong.
Bakelandts average as can be. And with that the end of the season and our first time relegated. Weird feeling. Glad it’s over.
Thanks for the report.

Ouch, Formolo 16th is pretty mediocre. Having five other riders in top 50 does help somewhat though and overall it looks like this was enough to keep our sixth place in the rankings.
Great ride by MAL, congrats
Thanks for the report jph

MAL in a league of his own, but also a great performance by De Bie. Congratulations to both, and especially to knockout on a big monument win. |

This surely has to be one of the best points gains for a single team in a monument race. What a nice surprise to see all Cerny finishing that high with another nice results for both Schlegel, Barguil and even McKenna. Only too bad Sagan was somehow disappointing again.
Congrats to knockout, thanks for the report jph.

You're right it should be enough, congrats! 
Rather disappointing end to the season but in general really happy about this season and next year it can get even better with Gidich & Kasperkiewicz maxing and a trained Hsu in the sprints
Congrats knockout, nice to see Marzuki's team mate winning here. I'm scared about how Lopez will be next year. Hope you transform him into a stage racer. 
Thanks for the report, jph! |
