Has there been a non-quality report? Even my one was pretty good

Reaction to USA week will come today and tomorrow from Goldie, TDF and Radio. Update/Intro on/to Young i will push back to closer to Rio. Well that's the plan anyway.

Just to make sure, when is Power going on break again and Young stepping in?

After Rio. Power races the beach event then goes back to the States. Young comes in as the circus leaves the Americas.

Sochi was even a quality summary And New York was boring on purpose iirc

Cali is next up on the calendar. A unique race.

Great race by Vague again, especially showing signs of energy conserving at times which is important in such a long seasom too. After 3-races, Sp looks great but the musketeers are too close for comfort.

Dze to me moving this week and cancelled internet service I wont get to post until sunday probably. (Maybe I upload smthg using hotspot though hehe)

Going to be spending the entire weekend in a studio, recording. So most probably won't have time for the report until somewhere next week. So tiny break here

Good, so I'll find enough time to write something for my two guys.

Immident thought: What two guys of Ian?!

Was mine as well when I just scrolled down

Well, now that we've won two nice awards (best forum thread, best story game shared with ICL), I think it's about time to up our game.
Next year should be even better, I reckon.

Hope to bring you the next race within the next 2 days, as soon as I find the time!

Damn Ian, you spoiled me
Nah, congratulations for the deserved awards!

I'm delighted we could all contribute to this award. Congratulations Ian, your spectacular effort more than deserved this!

Thanks, all.
It's an award for everyone who's contributed to the game

That said, result for Cali is in, but for the report you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow. See you then!

We'll see who needs to wash out their mouth after the race

We finally had the member of the year post again

Hope to reignite the fire again tomorrow and get the speed back on!
Matt's post reminded me of Smows/Cook again, too. Very unfortunate to have "lost' him, it has been a few months now.
General rule is: low activity --> rider diminishes.
Though with Cook I might make an exception. Unless someone objects to this but I don't think so. Cook has become an icon in the game, at least I think so.

Anyway, see you tomorrow and thanks once again for a year of joy so far

Yes please let Cook be an exception. The game is just... Weird without him.

Seems so that Matt wants to take Cook's footsteps. Just he can't fit them yet.
Oh yeah, and I agree on the Cook thing, but want to add, that he should possibly never reach his old form.

Cook is Cook, what made him great was Smowz and not his performances. I don't want to see him lose anything this year but i think he should be declined in the 4th season, if slowly (i.e. still a winner but not as often, not a contender in as many rankings). There's no need to just get rid of him, there are other filler riders to dump first.

Dunno, Cook's sorta my favourite rival to write about, without even smowz writing him anymore. In the long-term, it's likely he'll have to decline to make room at the top, for whoever will push through, but right now and for maybe 1-2 seasons more, he remain that strong and on top imo. So, yes, I'm for an exception but mostly for kinda selfish reasons.
