I did not had a selection in
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad,
and as expected, my silver cobblehills specialist was not suited for
Strade Bianche ( 53º ).
But some points were scored in the recent 2 classic races :
Milano Sanremo ;
12º
BleidelisA dissapointing result, but logical, because he did not had a good helper.
Beck should have been the very important s4 helper, but he already dropped in s2.
Maybe a wrong helper tactic, although he had to gamble and most likely he was just not good enough as MSR helper.
E3 Harelbeke ;
27º
AnticAs expected, my silver cobblehills cyclist had just help in s1, so, he had to do it on his own.
Despite this, he rode a very good race. For example, in s4 he was in the 2nd group of nrs 13 to 26 on just 0:09"
But to my surprise he could not finish well, apparently he had a bad or unlucky s5. Or the competition was too good.

Hopefully it goes better in the next little tour.
Beck should ride a very good Catalunya, but maybe my expectation is too high because he is just a silver tour rider.
