An actually not too bad performance by the Dev Team. Top-10 in the GC, I can't realistically expect anything more

Thank you brewers for another race and congrats on the overall win by Davies. 
My team doing a great job despite their leader Pitzopoulos being absent. Great win for San Marinese cycling there on stage 4. And not only that by that Colombini almost won the points classification as well. He was a very late addition to my team in the offseason but with that win he made sure to get a contract offer for the next season as well. 
@Shonak: Olympics are already raced and I wanted to post them earlier but my computer crashing several times prevented that so far. However, at least the ITT should be up by tonight.  |

Great start by Chavenal, Turgot and Painai hoping we can continue to have some more good stages here.
Thanks for the update brewers.

Langeveld on a good streak for Prorace recently, each season I'm quite surprised at the depth of his squad.
Thanks for keeping the pace brewers!

Not sure the Prorace unicycle would meet the minimum weight requirements
Great reports Brewers, just a shame my team are not showing up (note to self need a bigger squad  )

Glad to be at the forefront of cycling innovation! 
Didn't see the prologue win coming. He must have been on a great day. Waited a long time for a win which didn't come from the big two this season, so content now! Langeveld has been such a strong rider for us, always in the places really, get rid of Gilbert. Fine! We will still have Langeveld!
GC lead after stage 3 is something else, but it will be so hard to keep it till the end.

Come to think of it this has been one top month for the 2 Belgian teams with the Eneco tour still to come.
I'd say something about knockout with another stage win, but, hey: that always happens! |

I apparently pay Malori so much he just feels too much pressure on him and can't perform

Olympic Games Time Trial is up: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1153993
On Baltic Chain: Nice 2nd place by Vanmarcke. Sorry The Rider for the issue with the unicycle. You may remember that this happened already at the begin of the season. I have fixed it since then, but apparently didn't include the fix in the upload for the reporters. Sorry. 
I have finished the scouting sheet by now as well. I'll upload it in the next few days. |

The entire American team consisted of Bunzl riders so, naturally, the entire American team sucked ass. TTs still make no sense.

Winner is a nice surprise, Castroviejo at tenth is also a solid result. Hoping for Purito or Bertie to take gold in the RR

Jealous much?
But nah, I'd happily swap all of those stage wins vs the overall ranking victory.
Baltic overall a very cool race for CarbonSports. Stage win, three guys in the top ten with Ciolek on the podium, good minor rankings places. This is what I want from these races. It's going up for CarbonSports
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

loving to see Turgot winning, kind of a desaster with Greipel winning no stage for Allianz...

First three stages of the USAPCC are up now, including the world's least selective 'mountain' stage.
https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1154183
Spoiler Now I know why reporters feel awkward when their own team does well.
Prologue: The wind, which was already a strong crosswind, turned into a strong headwind halfway through, so the people that went early had a huge advantage. Hence why people like Henderson, Rockmore, Van der Lijke and Egsvang are right up there, but guys like Bodnar, Craddock and Bookwalter struggled. Sergent and Talansky were incredible given they went when the conditions were against them.
Stage 3 was just weird. Nobody attacked, the mountains weren't hard enough and at the end, Sugoi, who had been controlling the race all day, just sat up. Bunzl were the only team to do any sort of leadout and Bibby put about 50 bike lengths in to everyone before they reacted.
Crazy result and easily the best day in our history. it's just a shame that I feel like I can't celebrate because I'm the reporter. Why do they never do this shit when somebody else is reporting?

In the lead
Now to actually get a gap larger than 0 seconds in the ITT, I think Talansky should be able to get us a GC win here. He probably won't do so though
