And of course thank you very much Selwink and all others for the race reports this season. These, although not good results wise for myself, were great quality reports and were churned out at a magnificent speed!

Wow, Holst Enger doing exactly what I asked for/hoped for/dreamt of on that final stage. Well played by Swedbank if it was a tactical decision by Ahlstrand, or just perfect timing for them that Reimer was so strong and Ahlstrand not. Congrats, viking90!
Bystrøm a little bit unlucky with the GC, being on the same time as 10th place, but definitely a very encouraging race from him, which was great. We didn't pick up many points, I think, but that's not the reason we're here for.
Also a great final stage for RBC and Bellis, considering the points and the fact that they gapped Evonik slightly more. Tension is building for Japan!
Thank you for great reporting through the whole race, Selwink! |

- RBC are ahead of Evonik as their late season charge continues
- Every point counts for RBC, Evonik and Risa amid uncertainly on where the promotion positions will fall
- Karcher slip down a bit, but it's still a great season for them
- TomTom looking to end on a high, have gained 3 positions
- Euskaltel are relegated after Chernobyl overtake them
- Lululemon need to score 45 points in Japan to survive

Thanks for the update. Thrilling end of the season with fights everywhere.
Top3 for title. Sucks for me that I lack a puncheur in the direct duel.
Evonik with LLS? in Japan could indeed pass RBC again for the promotion spot.
Chernobyl vs Africa for the last safe spot.
This is gonna be a nice last race. |

Good race for us, but just much better from RBC, doing an insane race here.
Steensen dropping one position on the last stage due to stage placing is surely one thing that could have been avoided, but yeah yeah. Roll on Japan now, Meyer is still looking for his first win..

Race went as anticipated. Made our appearance on last days break a added points by Cataldo and Wyss.
Time to relax and watch Di Maggio do his thing in Tasmania and Japan... if there wasn't this team goal we want to achieve.
Gratz to RBC and thanks for quick and nice reporting, selwink!

AMEX-Navigon picked a few points nothing to help in the standings but we are not backsliding either. With just a final race in this season our fate is sealed.
We had some chances late in the season, but the quality of the competition proven too much for us to really harvest points in clusters. In the end we will finish our 3rd PCT season mid-pack, but with prospects for improvement next season.

Hoffman in 42nd is hardly above expectations 
Mmm, Craven with 9th. What can I say really? Has been mediocre (or worse) all season. Not much different here. Still, better than in Britain.

Landa in the break, nice. Cant say I expected alot this race but in the end it's trying that counts. Considering we're already safe is it nice to get these bad performances so we can lower the rider wages even more 
Thanks for all the reports, good stuff!
Congratz RBC, what a season ending they're having!

I dreamed of 1-2 with Ahlstrand-Reimer but 1-3 Reimer-Ahlstrand is acceptable aswell  And Hoogerland & Hermans as 7th & 8th make this a very good last stage for us.
@ember it was only tactic and Ahlstrand wanted to thank Reimer for a good season and leadoutman in some races and "gave" that win to him
Thanks for great reporting, Selwink and fast update SN! |

Wait Evonik might not promote? 
Would be insane if they didn't after looking comfortable all season. Just shows RBC's incredible for though. Unlucky that Euskaltel are confined to relegation, but Chernobyl have really come out fighting in recent months.
Quiet final stage sees us grab 7th overall in Kwiatkowski's final and probably worst race this year. Still can't complain as he's been brilliant and we can still maybe grab 4th.
Thanks for the reports Selwink, and the quick update SN. Onto Japan! |

Great for us! Very likely that we will stay up now, but until Japan has been finished we have no guarantees. Strange tactics made this a bit scary, but it worked, somewhat.

The last stage points having made it possible but I beileve LLS still only needs a top 8/9 to come through for Evonik but looking forward to Japan now.
In this race though Bellis has just blown up and turned into a beast that he was when he rode for Jaguar back in the day, this is possible my favourite ever race so thanks for the great reports Selwink and SN for the rankings |

Horrible last stage, but Kono has delivered a little, should secure 28th place, not that it matters, now its on to planning for CT

Nothing much from my team in the last two stages, but Jang could at least hold on to shared 2nd in the koM.
Thanks for the rankings update. Nice to know, that we are through and don't have to worry about relegating anymore.
Why has Euskaltel 139 race days? Did LLS take one less when planning? If so that could#ve been the deciding one in the relegation battle with CoC. |
