Note to self
1. Always include race winner.
2. Don't annoy TMM
3. Immediately ask if each user wants their rider featured on the favorites list.
4. Never, ever use nationality bias to lift a rider up four places from where you originally had them

Would you like fries, soft drink or to upgrade that to a large?

1. Well, it's a valid point
2. Never, ever, ever!
3. Better start up a doodle and let everyone fill it in
4. Nationality bias is part of cycling. Every newspaper has its darlings

Yes, and mayonaise, please!

Don't take TMM's words too harshly there's plenty of room to improve, just a few minor points to work on!

I only complained about not mentioning the winner in a race review, which is really a complete basic in any form of sports journalism

Not supersize?

Yeah fair enough, I hereby swear any race reported on thecxreport.com will include the winner's name. Stupid mistake though.

We stopped selling them when that documentary came out, I've got some in the back if you really want some

Maybe I'll do the race tomorrow. I'm already running the race partly, as I've already received tactics from almost all active members
So hope to do the race this weekend!

I talked to my brother about the continental Championships and the possible overlapping races for next season.
There might be a solution. He's gonna see if he can create a new category for races where the outcome counts as part of the palmares, but there are no UCI-points given and non-existing riders (in the game engine) just get passed over.

That means a victory in a Cont. Champ or in a smaller race next season will count as a victory on the palmares, which would be nice.

I'll keep you posted if it should work

Cool idea jandal, look forward to future editions. Gives this fantastic storygame some further input, and we all love to see lots of input in this game.

Something came up for tomorrow, so I can't do the race then.
So I did it now. Enjoy the report!

Not the weather conditions I was hoping but great to see Vague winning!

NOW that was an exciting report to read Ian!!! Amazing!
Sending tactics for once paid off, I'm very glad with what happened in through the race, that's all i wanted Matt to do and that's very satisfying, I think I will do it always

Well, a post is finally coming.

Glad you liked it, I'm quite happy with it, myself
Matt won't like the weather predictions of the next race, though...

So exciting when I'm not here. I guess a report from Sylvain might shake things up a bit, don't worry though, Sylvain doing less interesting stuff means more reports from my other riders.

Keep 'em coming, some great posts lately

Okay, Lviv coming up either tonight or tomorrow!
Also, it appears we're nearing the end of the cold winter in Europe. After Ostrava we head for the sand races and after which it'll already be February. Though in February it can be mighty cold, too, so we'll have to wait and see

Those ice specialists have had some great races. Though one season is not another, and a mild winter might be disastrous for a rider such as Hammarling or so. Still, they can't complain at the moment

No, indeed, when I asked Matt he told me "what's ice, some kind of high temperature?!"

Well, that's good news that we're heading out of the coldest part of the season, definitely good news for Matt, that probably won't have any chances tomorrow with -2°C...

It's easy to forget Max Power hates the cold even more than Matt

Yeah. His last media post was: I hate the cold.
Nobody's heard from him since. I hope he's still out there somewhere

Oh and it's nice to reach page 50 with the general thread

A shorter report than usual for the Lviv race today. Just wanted to try out something a bit different (shorter). I think I'll do more shorter races next season, depending on the race. Especially if I'll add more (overlapping) races.


Another thing: Program works with Continental Championships. So it counts for the palmares and UCI points after all! The amateurs also received these UCI points, but that's no problem, I think, they earned it
Also, Bakari is no longer without UCI points if the cont. champs. count! He's not even last in the UCI ranking! Check it out in the Game Thread!

Did not really notice it was shorter, it was still just as good

And if you ever need yet more ideas for races hit me up and i can make some more

Great to hear!
When this season ends, I'll be evaluating myself race by race and decide which races have a future and which races were too hard to imagine/report on. I'll see where the gaps are and then we can fill them up
We'll also need some more races for overlapping non-category races, but that's for later!

So, you're telling me that matt didn't die? Am I understimating him
