First of, Congrats Nemolito and thank you for the report LLS.
Very happy not sending Eiking here now, seeing Skjerping fell off and finished 6 minutes out. Horrible. Although, we were present in the breakaway. That's something i guess.
Just as i start to think i'm getting a handle on PCM20 era sprint mechanics & general AI patterns in flat rated races.... we get this!
Amazing win for Maksimov! Like in Veenendaal a lack of true lead-out allowed those better sprinters to rise towards the top of the results sheet, but still a few guys (like Maksimov) who i wouldn't normally expect and some i would (like Kalaba/Kump) not really getting into it. Especially once you consider the splits.
IDK, PCM20 just keeps leaving me with more questions than answers, like 18 did. All i'll say to those not getting the AI dice rolls, know it's not your fault and keep staying positive.
Joke of a race for this profile. How half the riders ahead of Kump are even still in the race at the finish with energy to sprint is beyond my imagination. Thanks for the report and congrats to Nemo, no fucking clue what went on here Kump in 12th is absolutely abysmal.
Wow, what a very pleasant surprise! Although I still hoped for a sprint to take place, I really didn't expect Maksimov to feel so good and deliver us a win. Guess he is worthy of his 100k wage after all. We had two nice sprint classics in a row, so I would appreciate it, LLS, if you could keep reporting on these kind of races with Los Pollos in them
This race turns out to be pleasantly positive, Guardini's 4th place complemented by Silva and Gabburo in the top 20 gives around 50 points, which for us is quite positive.
Congrats on the win Pollos Hermanos and thanks for the report
Two riders just outside the top 10 is more than we could have expected. It doesn’t give us many points, but it is encouraging to see us deliver some kind of decent result despite it not being obvious where it can come from pre-race.
Big surprise to see how the race played out. Definitely expected the attacks to rain in the final 15-20 kilometers. A big opportunity misset for the rouleurs and puncheurs. Well done to Maksimov for taking advantage of what must have been a very slow pace on the rolling terrain. Congratulations, Los Pollos!
I did complete mistake on this race. I don't know how I miksed up the hill sign with the flat one. Compare to the really easy ride it's ok result even that they could do a bit better but the finish defenetly wasn't the best for my leaders.
