Thread is going a bit weird for me on Page 7 (think it's my computers fault) so can't see the last results, however can make out that Turgot won which is great for us 
Thanks for the reports brewers

Stage win + podium overall: what a time in Estonia. 
- Presumably the 'big' cobble stage saw the favourites attack, sit up -- nothing is new under the sun.

Brewers making the most of a light startlist! |

Judging by stage 2, Chaves is hopefully going to live up to his favourite status, but damn if there isn't anything more disappointing than leading the chase group across the line.

Good to see Yates flying in the USA.
I am hoping for a top 10 from Josh Edmondson but no so sure now the route has been diverted to Kansas

Nice 1-2-3 for Bunzl there in Colorado. We had the same route already in the first ICL season, so a quite anticlimatic outturn of the race is to be expected again. The last hilly stage will probably also finish in a bunch sprint. So the winner will be decided in the TT that's to come I guess.
As for the Olympics road race, as I said it is already raced, I saved the replay to take screenshots and make a video, but my computer always crashes when starting the replay (also when starting new races). I ordered a new PC now, but don't know yet when it will be here. Until then I won't be able to report any races or make pictures and a video for the olympics race.
I'd appreciate if someone with PCM15 other than brewers, would also take over some of the coming races. I don't want to overstrain brewers, who is doing a teriffic job with all the races posted in such a high pace.
Also in case you have missed it, I posted something in the General Thread yesterday: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1154101
Only got 4 scouting lists so far.
Also I'd appreciate if you could add some suggestions there on what you'd like to see changed for the next season. Last time there were lots of good ideas, but only outspoken too late. |

Stages 4, 5, 6 & 7 of USAPCC are now up, bringing a really poor race to a close. Better route needed next year for sure.

Spoiler Relatively happy with our race. Three stage wins, two jerseys and a GC podium is good but with how weak this startlist was, it's disappointing that the race was decided in a TT and not on a mountain. Joe was anonymous. At least we beat the North American teams. Your sponsors don't like you now.

I think Talansky should be able to get us a GC win here. He probably won't do so though 
Knew it 
In any case, good to see some more podiums picked up as well, but that 2nd-place-syndrome of Talansky is getting annoying.

The brewers magic has ended for us, was hoping better for Van Poppel.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Overwhelming 4th place by Viviani. Also great 13th by Roelandts after a late attack. Nice to see a German winner in at least one of the classics. Thanks brewers. |

#1231: Oh, I don't know. But, to me, 8th place seems fair enough for the 8th best sprinter in the race!
Brewers really is acting as the lifeblood of the ICL of late.

Great Hainleite and an okayish podium in the other race = good home race double header
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Damn... 2 important home races for us. Both finishing 2nd is quite disappointing. though can't complain really with the season we're having. |

Am now 100% convinced the only thing I can do right in this game is chuck everything at Juarez. Not even Ochoa can be bothered saving us.

I am relatively happy with getting a top 10 in the GC, as well as a few good stage finishes, but I can't shake the feeling that a top 5 was on the cards if the mountains did anything to separate the race.
