Thanks for another brilliant report! Another top 10 for Mutahi, he's gradually improving into a great rider. |

That was an amazing report. 
Unfortunately not great for Sylvain, what was the problem there anyway? Could he not get past Matt?

The first 2 looked a span above all, then Cook is Cook and Matt can't win sprints so 5th it is 
Even happier because Matt didn't know the meaning of the world "hail" until today, nor he ever seen any of them, therefore seeing that weather I could have never imagined he would even get to finish the race
The race was truly epic, at some point I was completely sure Dries would take it but Vague proved to have the stamina to put his wheels in front of Cornelis'
That's good really, he limited the damage as much as he could against an ever impressive Vague, looking forward to a profile suitting Matt better.
Huge props Ian and gratz to Shonak!

Interesting statistic leading up to our 20th race of the season:
Only Shay Gormley in the Duinencross managed to succeed himself as the winner. We have many riders winning who won last season, but all in different races.
Vague could make it 2 here in Rasterhoff, though. |

Will go see a documentary tonight, so small chance of a report.
If not, tomorrow before noon, I hope |

So let me get this straight. When I send Milan to a race with some ambition behind it, he fails. When I just send him, or, in fact, explicitly told you he wasn't going, he does well
Milan officially gives none about the rest of the season
Awesome report, one for the old dog Dobransky and you finally called him Mikey . It only took me one and a half seasons Bring on Aosta.

Okay, noted, jandal7
You know how my wicked mind works, right?
Yeah, Mikey suddenly felt so natural. Well done
Okay, Aosta Valley preview is up! |

Caught up on Rasterhoff and stuff, very nice report, Matt 18th and thus losing 2nd place in SP to Cook had to be expected though.
Now the objective is sticking to the 3rd place, will hopefully try to send a few tactics here and there to make it more realistic!
Edit: And very nice to see Aosta is coming soon! Only home race in the calendar, hopefully the result will be better than a photofinish 2nd place
@Ian can i know when is the deadline for tactics of that one? Should find time to get one in your inbox if there is enough time from now to the race

Deadline for the tactics is probably around tonight.
With the race report being either later tonight or tomorrow, I think |

Some nice posts by jandal & Shonak!
Also,:
Now at long last, Dobransky has become too old for this.
Very nice |

Agreed, it was a beautifully written piece [Dobransky]. My reaction to that was almost sadness, but then I started punching the air at Vague's post . That explains my multi-Milan post .

I thought it was the cheesiest line I've ever written but I could not not write it.

One of The saddest but also most beautiful pieces I've seen in the game. Especially that final line.
As for Milan, it would be kinda funny if he lost it now, just saying.
I'm really looking forward to Aosta.
