True, but the ice specialists seem to have woken up and I think that mentally, they've gotten a huge boost. Maybe this can encourage them to perform better in this next race
And also, it's unlike any other race so far. Almost no climbing, no cobbles, no sand. Indoors... It'll be a strange race.
Also, do I sense a slight hint of annoyance at the lack of ice tracks or am I completely mistaken? Hope I am, though

Just a quick-made list of what I experience to be very active posters to rare posters to posters who have gone inactive. Non-posters are not listed. You can always let me know if you disagree on something or if I have forgotten anyone, I just put this together in 5 minutes, based on my memory, I haven't reread the entire Game Thread for this (yet).
This is just to get a clear view on the "top" players of this game, and also to see who's growing inactive (no blame, just sorry to see )
List of Riders Activity
Very Active
Francis N. Vague
Elliot Cook
Hafthor Eldfjallsson
Christian Schiltz
Lachy Bauer
Regular Poster
Matt Mazzarelli
Max Power
Mikel Hammarling
Sylvain Lipawsky
Josiah Bennett
Ronnie Hira
Tane Tahawira
Rare Poster
Rudy Verboven
Sven Welling
Gregory Bernard
Dries Cornelis
Blazej Dobransky
Rik Van Fleming
Shay Gormley
Naveed Alinejad
Arda Akdeniz
Inactive? (after being active before)
James Carlisle
William Burbank
Jack Smith
Robert Wells
Nic Hashir
Marcus Flinch
Nicky Van Drenthe
Mustafa Moli
Frederick Muller
Mohuti Sow
Ketso Tembi
Amadou Bakari (retired)

Interesting list, nice to be Very Active/Regular Poster with all my riders. I still fail to see Jimmy C's success without Cycleman posting, though I asked him for team purposes and he is still following.

11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

The inactive ones are only those who were previously active.

Can't argue with your list, I hope to get back to my activity level at the start soon
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Meh, I'm only a regular poster after decreasing the activity in the last few weeks. Gonna become more active again once I'll get less busy/ill. That's a promise

@jandal7: Because if I only let the active players be successful, it would become pretty boring. We need to have some "bots" to fill up the peloton, too. Some may even win races. Hope you understand that
@Jesleyh: Yes it's possible I forget, sorry then. But now it's up to you to become a little more active
@matt: Great to hear. After Mazzarelli really started behaving professionaly, he's been doing better and better

Of course I do, I usually forget to add this fella when making a joke:
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."

@The Schleck Fan it would be nice if you could actually read Schiltz' pieces, rather than make stuff up about what he said.

Still looking for someone to make some sort of Continental Jerseys for Eurasia, Oceania, Africa and (the continent) America. Doesn't have to be high quality.
Icorda Racing is still looking for young talents to start a team next year. Both current players and new players are eligible. One older rider can also be added to the squad to show the young ones the ropes.

ExCel Center Circuit report is finished! Some changes in the World Cup, too.
Francis N. Vague was our special guest co-commentator for the race, his parts are in italic. All parts by Vague were written by Shonak, of course so thanks to him!

Wasn't this what you said before Bristol:
recent races suggest his dethroning is coming even faster than expected. Schiltz has now beaten him in 3 consecutive races, making it 4 from the last 5 in the head to head battle.
I just answered to this after beating Schiltz in both Bristol and Lee Valley

Excel was another great race Ian. Really enjoyed seeing both of my riders battling in the Top 10.

So you read part of my piece.
Now here's the full part:
It is understandable that Bernard has taken to wild media rants, as despite starting the season as clearly the better Luxembourg rider, recent races suggest his dethroning is coming even faster than expected. Schiltz has now beaten him in 3 consecutive races, making it 4 from the last 5 in the head to head battle.
I say that Bernard was clearly the best Luxembourg rider at the start of the season, then speculate about how long that will be the case, given that Schiltz had the beating of him in recent races.

Uh no, you answered with:
It was also very funny to see that arrogant Schiltz struggling once again after saying that he is better than Bernard in the last few races.
For a start my paragraph on Bernard was a journalistic piece (as are most of my Game posts), and not something from the mouth of Schiltz. Even then, It didn't say that Schiltz was better than Bernard, and stating fact that Rider A beat Rider B in 3 races isn't arrogance at all.
Do what you like with your Bernard posts, but please show some more creativity than creating lies about what Schiltz has said. What Schiltz says is my job.

Oops about journalistic piece
