Oh,  I meant higher then you because you mentioned it to Ian in why Milan should win?
I didn't actually know there was rugby on today. it's not too big of a sport in Victory so I didn't really know.

I'm all ready for the World Championships report  Got all the result right here.
See you tomorrow. Thanks for the amazing pre-race game thread posts so far! Looking forward to the reactions of the race itself, too.

That is the most infuriating though of the day 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

+1 Jandal and for a second I thought it going to be posted.
At least it's better than I first thought, where I would be on a plane for 20 hours when it's posted.
I really can't wait for this.

Bit late to ask Ian for U-23 World Champs but you can sign-up in 1-2 weeks for season 3! Great to see you here

Pretty much what jandal said
But, of course, you can always start to follow now and get to know the main players!
Alternatively, you can find a list of all crosses so far reported here, as well as more information on the calendar/game...
After the World Championships (reported later today), there are 5 crosses left this season. So my guess is that new sign-ups will open in about 2-3 weeks. Hope to see you then!

Awesome report Ian, as usual!
Schiltz did awesome, and Eldfjallsson fully committed to a move to at least give himself a chance, which is what I hoped for.

Dat report :inlove:
Well can't say I'm surprised about that 3rd place, indeed, I'm happy it wasn't lower considering the 2nd part of the route. I must say I'm surprised Matt didn't crumble in the second part of the last lap as Cookie did. I didn't like Vague jumping the trunks flawlessly and Matt failing miserably though
Didn't expect Vague to win, but yeah Shonak deserves it Also a great 2nd by Schlitz, that was really close!
Thanks again Ian, hoping to crank out a blog post tomorrow!

Awww yeah!! Didn't expect Vague to win it but it's great he managed to do it. Course certainly suited him well enough, glad it wasn't ruined by that flat tire.
BKCP 1-2, so sweet.
What an excellent report Ian!! I just love AND.

Disappointing but exoected, some power training must happen over the off-season looking at the last two races...
Phenomenal report(s) Ian, and chapeau Shonak, you deserve it after your active and interesting posts this season!

Great report Ian, enjoyed it as ever. Surely time for Cook to re-evaluate his racing style.... Not. We all know the real world champ

Thanks for the awesome report Ian
I have on small gripe but ignore it if you don 't want to here me complaining:
Spoiler Sylvain did he exact opposite of his strategy though, I can understand if he can't keep up with Cook or somebody, but when Mutahi, Mazzerelli (technical section) or especially Markson went he shown no reaction...
Anyway, it was a very exciting report and I can't really complain, especially given Sylvain win last year Thanks Ian and congrats Shonak. :
And Pierre in the top ten U23

I always try to follow tactics but it pretty much always comes down to: can he follow tactics?
You can tell Jurgen Van Den Broeck to attack and attack until he wins a mountain stage, but if he can't ride fast enough uphill, it won't work
Sylvain rode to his best abilities but just wasn't the strongest today.
Thanks for the kind words, guys! Was awesome to report this for you all!

Well, a bad day is a bit much, but not a top day, which you need to win a race like this
Also, if your legs fail on you at the wrong moment on a profile like this, it's quite bad. In other races you can shapen up and come back a bit later, but on this course it looks like whenever someone was gone, it was hard to get them back. Especially with a bigger group up front than the group Sylvain was in.
Hope that's good for you
And, yes, Pierre did well
