Wow, can't believe all these things happening in the final race of the season. Feel so so sorry for Netia who basically had full control on the race. A strong win by Carlsberg and what seems to be the title for Novatek. Great work!
I had big hopes for Compal when seeing 2 riders in the breakaway towards the end, but unfortunately couldn't hold in. I said prior to the race I would be happy with top 10, and a little disappointed we couldn't do that, but among the 25 should give us some points at least.
Thank you for the very interesting report Matt. I enjoyed the close-ups of riders you had during the report as well. |

That's not the way I thought this race would end for me. A wild Jan Barta comes 3rd out of nowhere, and the 9-10-18 is good enough for us to win the title. I want to be disappointed in Rabon, despite his great try, but I don't give a fuck about that anymore
Thanks for the report Matt

But hell got enough points for 16th place and it wraps up a season of ups and downs season for us
Thanks for the report Matt |

No no no no no no no no no no..
What is wrong with PCM why would we want to chase if we don't sprint or attack! We had Zeits, Der, Sinkewitz, Stachowiak and they all just chased just so that Mørkøv could ignore the sprint!
Sorry rant over, just going to have to pray one more team makes the PCT...
Congrats BBl and Selwink thanks Matt.
And thanks to everybody for the consolidations.

Big congrats for the division title, nice to see it achieved thanks some good work by czech riders in both this race and whole season.
Feel sorry for Netia here, they would deserve a PCT spot.

I'd go even further if Lierse up (as long as their active) don't promote i'd be surprised. |

Ouch for Netia, seems strong hill line-ups are a waste of race days after the last two races Gratz to the confirmed promotions and especially Selwink for the title
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."

Nah, Sancor as the last unless SN is feeling particularly vengeful in my opinion. I'd put money it, but as a student I can't afford to
Anyway, congrats to Novatek and thanks for the report Matt. Look forward to meeting - and beating - many of you in PCT next season |

Thanks for the hopeful comments, maybe one more spot will be allocated.
and otherwise we can always sign a better sprinter and win the CT. While Alakgom doesn't sign Benoot.

Marc De Fucking Maar. What would I do without you? Oh, wait. I already can answer that. Nothing.
Great way to end the season!

Barta in 3rd. What! Most of the startlist were supposedly better than him on hills: startlists don't know jack then! Congrats Selwink for a dramatic title win! Must be very close, points wise, what is the gap? Commiserations Shonak, but still congratulations on a great season!
Unlike last season, where if you had one of the top puncheurs you were virtually guaranteed a top 10 place, the puncheurs really haven't scored enough this season in CT: bizarre results like this one seeing to that. Bad luck here for Netia, but I am sure all places in the top 10 will be enough for promotion. |

Mendes in 23rd as best rider is certainly not what we hoped for. Probably he didn't have the best legs today as he didn't even try to attack. Now we can only hope for some disbandments...
EDIT: Just wanted to be sure that everybody understands this last statement as a joke.

Darn, I'd really like promotion, although we probably don't deserve it with our results
Congratulations to both Shonak and Selwink, great season from you guys!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Congratulations to Baseball and team on the win and to Novatek for taking the title!
Happy to see Uchima up in 5th, haven't checked the CT rankings yet, but all of our closest rivals scored really well in these last few races so i'm a little worried.
And thanks for the report!
