168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trek-Segafredo came into 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Omloop Het Nieuwsblad full of confidence and boasting a squad that contained former winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jasper Stuyven, Mads Pedersen and Edward Theuns but the team were left em🌳pty-handed with their top finisher, Stuyven, only managing 40th place. Pederꦓsen, who finished second in last year's Tour of Flanders finished outside the top ten, while Ryan Mullen and Theuns worked hard but just finished outside the top 50.

As Deceuninck-QuickStep 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:topped the podium through Zdenek Stybar, and crowds flocked to the blue and white bus to join in the celebrations, the mood outside the Trek-Segafre🐼do bus was the polar opposite.

Requests for rider interview♌s were rebuffed and it was left to director sportif Steven de Jongh to front up and deliver an honest r🀅eflection of his team's performance.

"Today wasn't good. That's obvious. When the race really exploded on the Molenberg and the big favourites went, our guys showed that they didn't have the level to follow and that was clear to see," De Jongh told Cyclingnews.

"That was disappointing and I'm a bit afraid for the next races because the leve🍰l that's here and showed by other teams means our riders need to step up big time in the next races."

Trek-Segafredo still have Paris-Roubaix winner John Degenkolb waiting in the wings, with the German currently training in Spain. However, the lack of results in Omloop from the core of the Classics team is a genuine concern for De Jongh, who on the eve of the race told Cyclingnews that the team had the talent to win a Classic.

"I'm surprised. I expected a lot better from them. The atmosphere on the bus, I think they wꦏanted a lot more. That was a real smack in the face. We'll climb up and prepare for the next races but we can be worried," De Jongh said.

"At the moment we didn't say 🐎much. I spoke to some of them and they've said sorry for their performances and that they didn't have it. I'm not going to put names on there but we all know who our leaders were today. They've said they didn't have it today and that was honest from them. I think tonight some of them won't have a good night and then tomorrow they'l🗹l try and show something different."

The Classics come thick and fast over the next fe🐻w weeks. On Sunday, the team will race Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne before focusing their attention on Paris-Nice, Tirreno Adriatico and then Milaඣn-San Remo and the rest of the cobbled season. Momentum is key but De Jongh added that there was still time to turn the campaign around.

"There's time but not for this weekend. There's still Tirreno and Milan-San Remo, so there's a window left where they can improve and let's hope that happe⛦ns. Tomorrow we'💯ll cross fingers."
