Cofidis Team

Edit: Deahjah! I was beaten to it! (Top Ten)

 

[Samamba]

Strong team work from Lotto Soudal, but Boeckmans failed. In Picardië he was faster than Guardini and Hutarovic.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This is one of the most pointless stage races on the calendar for sure. Two stages? At least have like a 2km prologue and make the time bonuses make some kind of sense.

Anyhow, well done to Guardini. I thought he would probably be dropped on that climb into Woensdrecht, but clearly he's getting better.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Boeckmans is quite consistent this year, he can win on positioning more than on raw speed I think. Anyway, no one will make this race hard for Astana I guess.

 

[LaFlorecita]

MTN want a guy on the podium they said, we will see what they do.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Boeckmans wins (overall too)
