Well, taking risks comes with risks, trekbmc
Though his form is good, right on time for the WC (though I'm pretty sure Kloet will overpower him on the WC... )

@Shonak: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if Schiltz and Vague continue to be team mates and how they can combine their goals, though. What if Schiltz wants to take a swing at the World Cup or the Superprestige next season. Though that's up to SN

Right now, though, BKCP is covered on all terrain. Schiltz seems to perform very well in classics, coca-cola and Cont Champ, while Vague covers the World Cup and the Superprestige. Left up for grabs; WC

When's a good time to start talking about contracts for 2016?

There can already be talks about that. Though of course it's always risky to talk about leaving teams when you still have races left for that team with those team mates.
But you can always make a game thread post talking about transfer rumours, transfer statements, signed contracts, making a public ad for the rider looking for a team,...

Just that Blue Bell CX is gonna have a headache renewing Goldie AND Dao. Will whip up something interesting from the team pr office

Okay cool
Don't know about Dao & roturn though. He seemed to have gone inactive. You could try contacting him about it. But since you pretty much rule Blue Bell CX it's mostly up to you anyway, I reckon.

And indeed, it'll be hard to keep that entire team together...

That is a good point I guess.
Hopefully that means he can defend his title, but it'll be tough to beat Kloet.

Yay, Schiltz. Thanks for the race Ian, will try for a reaction post when I have the time!

Lviv preview is ready!

Let's hope the military and political problems of the country don't get in the way of the racing!

I've got some pretty amazing Lviv tactics , I should write a post from Sylvain as well.

Three game posts within an hour, Ian will be so proud of us.

Yeah Good to see activity flowing again (see what happens when I leave for a weekend ?) and Sylvain whining about some probably invented Schiltz-fan holding him down Though with that drunk crowd...

That was pretty funny

Also I managed to write a post on a tablet without losing everything I had written at any point.

EDIT: Zabel'd

He's whining about a real Schiltz fan trying to stop him from continuing either to help or hinder Sylvain, I'm not sure.

All my posts have been on tablets but I have lost progress a lot

Sure am
Happy to see it.

I have my very first (and second) solo gig this evening and tomorrow evening so I don't think I'll be able to do the report earlier.
Except if I can make some time tomorrow afternoon or something.
Or perhaps today at around noon, but I'll have to see if I can make the time to do it.

Either way, perhaps if all goes right, we could be looking at the World Championships by Sunday!
(But then again, with the house finally finished, it could well be that I finally move permanently this weekend, so hard to predict)

Made some time to do it now, so I can hopefully do the WC this Sunday!

Lviv report. Sometimes a man just has to make a stand. And sometimes the attackers are rewarded for their efforts. Enjoy

Milan only 9 points off front row. Maybe even Ostrava to get WC place? Or bank on Dao.

Very disappointing

@jandal: with the mud and the bridges etc this route was heavy on power, a stat still lacking a bit with Milan, that explains his result.

Also, I totally love Milan's manager's name

Very very nice, was waiting for this to make a blog post after some busy weeks

What an awesome piece of writing Ian, also truly epic win for the Cookie Monster. Matt will close his Coca-Cola trophy 1 position lower than usual but it's just because he's like the 1st of the humans ok?

It was great to see he could actually give a hard time to Cook, even if it was for a few meters hehe. Thanks again for the report

Sweet, Guido is shaping more and more into a regular Top 10 rider. Another highlight of his young career.

At long last, Cook was never much in doubt it seems. Looking forward to Smowz trophy winning post, gratz!

Yes i am totally trying to start a fight with Santos and Listerijn, just before anyone asks
