If Jakobsen doesn't rebound next season, he should honestly consider calling it quits, this is becoming painful.
Said it before, KNWU should be calling him on the daily. Hoogland and Van den Berg do not have eternal life, there will be spots open on the team sprint fairly soon. The latter is already very much subpar. With the lack of talent on the track, Jakobsen could slot right in without making a fool of himself every race.
 
Hirschi is running out of 1.1 races to win, but Sunday the 6th of October it's the 77th Coppa Agostoni from Lissone to Lissone 166.7 km, start at 12.30 CET, TV from 15.00 CET

"It is part of the so-called Autumn Classics and together with the Tre Valli Varesine and the Coppa Bernocchi, it forms the Lombard Triptych."

Formolo won last year (when he was with UAE) and is down to start tomorrow, but this time for Movistar against the might that is team UAE.

Just when you thought it could not get any better, it's time for Paris - Tours (1.Pro), tomorrow Sunday 6th October.
213.8 km from Chatres to Tours (let's hope they've remembered to cover up the tram rails), start at 12.10 CET and TV from 15.00 CET.

Last year's surprise winner Riley Sheehan is back again, but who ever wins, will need some luck out in the vineyards.

Lots of gravel sectors, lumpy bits, and with rain forecast as well could be fun viewing.

Thanks for the reminder, I totally forgot about the Paris-Tours race tomorrow!

Paris-Tours obviously has a much more stellar lineup (it has Magnus Cort, for crying out loud!) than the CRO race, but the CRO race has grown on me, so now I'm torn on whether to watch the last stage of the CRO or the Paris-Tours live.
