The first of the Ardeness classics is in the books. A few surprises resulted in a reshuffling of the WFL leader board. The top of the rankings is starting to look pretty familiar as Bill scoots past Volpe and continues to pressure Wiskota Dynamic. Along with the win by Kreuziger, Bill's 4th round pick Simon Gerrans picked up a tidy 50 points with a 3rd place finish. Fujarky managed to snag a few points from Henao and the Gas man, enough at least to maintain his position on the leader board. Gilbert was not able to hold off the rest of the field and his 5th place finish was ultimately a disappointment. The Green Bullet won the sprint for second earning Taco 60 important points. Valverde's sprint and the benefit of countback has moved Taco out of the basement and into 5th place overall, meaning we have a new lanterne rouge. However, Project Forza looks to do well later this week as the Giro del Trentino invites mostly pro conti teams.
