Don't get down Ian, I haven't posted freely (e.g without a cue) because last time I got a huge backlash. We're all just around the corner, waiting for the next Struuibai (not anticipating) or race report (anticipating). Also want to let you know I will be less active the next few weeks with boarding school.

Also, great thinking from Dries! I support that plan but the Belgians probably don't want us interfering.

Smowz - Yes, I'm still thinking about the American Continental Championship.
I hope to attract some other players for the next season but we'll have to see who'd be interested. For now, though, there are some very interesting characters in the game. If some of them would only post a bit more, it'd be perfect.
Definitely enjoying writing those reports!

jandal7 - Good luck in boarding school! Hope you'll still be able to follow your riders in the next races there. I don't think Dries would mind. The more, the merrier. The Olympics would be a great plus to this story in 2018, so let's hope it works out!

All - My brother, who's finally done with his exams, is still working on the program, it's taking a bit longer than anticipated because he'll also incorperate UCI Points for different classifications of races, and he's reworking the entire program because there was a bug he's now hoping to avoid.

However, when it's still not finished by tomorrow, I will change Aosta Valley with Rasterhoff cross, just switch Saterday and Sunday

Taking a small break. The program is finished but not yet fully de-bugged. I'll try to have my brother fix it as soon as possible. When it's fixed, we return

Welcome,
The new program is finished. I hope it will hold up, it's been tested and so far no bugs, so let's continue this game!

Preview for the Coca-Cola race in Aosta is coming up later (though maybe it will be tomorrow), but first, the updated palmares, where Cornelis looks definitely like the rider of the season so far.

And as a bonus, I introduce the new feature of this game: UCI Points! For those interested, see the UCI points per race below.

Dries Cornelis	5	2	1
Francis N. Vague	2	0	3
Shay Gormley	2	0	0

Supercool stuff with that program Ian! Cool to be 5th as well, expected to be lower

Well, the UCI points still has a few bugs, I've seen. So we'll see if he's still 5th after they've been fixed

Three times Rik Van Fleming. Oh my, clearly the world is doomed.

Looks great Ian. Looking all set to continue the Coca-cola cup - the UCI ratings also really give every race some extra spice too, motivation really to give it ones best every time.

Okay the bugs are human error, wrong names or hidden spaces in the name. I'll be fixing them in the future.

So expect the game to pick up again one of these days. I'm also finishing my internship (part I) this week so after that I'll be having some more time for a few weeks! I hope to do the Aosta preview today but as I said, I'm finishing my internship this week (and weekend) so just need 4 more days of staying focused on that. I'll try to do it in between, though!

Not sure, it may be more complicated, I found two Mazzarellis with the same exact name, unless I'm turning blind

Yeah but one has a space behind his name and the other doesn't. Different name for the computer

All right, it's up and running again! Updated UCI Ranking after the fix:

Ugh, almost half the points of Cornelis. Time to strike back, Vague.

Pleased with Welling's score though.

Bakari. He's missed!

Okay I had a date for this evening and she canceled on me so good news, I'll be doing the Aosta Preview. Finally we'll get this game kicked off again! Sorry for the little break there.

Would anyone mind if I posted the race this evening? I know it's against my own rule of no race on the same day of a preview but I don't think anyone minds...?

She doesn't deserve you!

I'd love to read the race tonight since I still suffer under some heavy hangover.

Haha okay I'll do it for you, then
Will be at least another hour, though, need to write the entire report, set the result and run the program to update the rankings Here's to no bugs!

Excited to see that preview Ian! I can't wait to see Matt w... erm, to read that report, just take your time to set Matt as the wi... erm, to write an exciting one
