Thank you for the report, Imladrik! And congratulations, redordead! Hope you get online and part of the race discussions again to enjoy such a massive, massive win 
For us, that was super disappointing by Anderberg. Seeing Pedersen launch early made me hopeful we would get a selective race, and we had lots of attacks, despite finishing in a big group. But Anderberg not once trying to attack/not once following attacks more than being in the group, is worrysome for what is to come, I must admit. We must hope this was a bad race day, and not the new standard for Anderberg, as I still rate his new look after his training 
The positive must be that he was in position when Per left the group to chase Pedersen. At least that was a screenshot where he was visible  He might have been key for the group to catch the top two guys, at least I will convince myself and him he was, to make him feel strong ahead of the next cobbled classics |

Thanks for the report, Imladrik! And congrats to red for a big win!
We did reasonably well here with Zepuntke and both our French cobblers. I think wj is not the only PCT manager who could have done with 150 non-fictional points from here

Congrats to Siric on a big win and thanks for the report!
Another solid outing for Per. Thought he and Pedersen had a chance to make their attack stick, but clearly they weren't quite willing to commit (or Mads wasn't strong enough for some reason). So, it's no threepeat and no win goal for us, which is a bit disappointing, but a podium can hardly be considered a bad result here considering how some of the other top guys have been. Knocking on wood before the big monuments, but so far Per has been just as consistent and poised as ever in this version. Funny to see him beaten in a sprint by Kaspa though!
Depth still leaving a little something to be desired here. Menten in 23rd is good, but no one else in the top 50 is a bit annoying. Can't complain when we have a podium at the front though.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

Congrats redordead! Big win for Siric and Cedevita!
I can understand why some (Grieg...) will be dissapointed here, but the cobble PT field is really strong. Lots of riders who can win and that means someone will always be dissapointed

Was hoping for a result similar to Cheshire but even that didn't happen here. 33rd is way too low for a cobbles leader. Owen probably was a bad investment in hindsight. The support team did fine. About 20-30 more points from here would've been enough.
Congrats to red and thanks for the report!

Must have made some history here with a Bosnian winning a PT classic, or maybe any classic for that matter. Either way it will be a cool memento from what feels like a dreadful season.
I'm not a big fan of Siric attacking, but sprinting can be hit or miss also and the risks are minimized when you can pull off an attack that close to the finish. The team performance and depth is non existent this year so really need Siric to pickup as many points as possible.

I'm tired of ranting about my team so I'll get my MG fix from reporting on other races. Thanks for the preview, the race reports and to everyone for the congrats

Amazing from Siric, great ride! Congrats red
Not the start to Vermeersch's career in cobbled leadership we were hoping for, especially given the strength he's shown on other terrains so far. Think it may be up and down for him this year.
