Surprising winner in Africa ITT.
Never heard of him to be honest. |

75 TT rider without backups beating 78TT by 13 seconds, why on earth i am so stupid and set so many TT dependant goals again with PCM15. 
At least we can beat Coppel/Fiedler during the season with bit of luck. 
Congrats to Tanzania and Richard Laningo Laizer and his Kenyan team!

Things like this will kill my 4 Tennant goals so badly

I'd say reasonable logic could kill all your racing goals being for one guy Then again, I'm not sure

Laizer 
Was a nice 50k grab in the transfer market, and will be even better when maxed. A nice unexpected title to start his season.
Do you get to wear a special jersey if you are continental champ, like a NC? |

Clearly a time trial of interest to us, and the Eritreans leading the way nicely with a medal and 4th place. 7th, 11th, 12th and 15th too. Africa RR is going to be very interesting for us when it comes too.

Well, another interesting TT-result. A good 3rd place for Howson nevertheless.

Poor stuff from Durbridge... Li also not too impressive. And then Kwok is winning

34th. Not impressed with Alwai, allegedly '74 TT'.
Well, those stats are absolute tosh.

Wow, what a victory for Kwok.
His opponents have been quoted as saying: "What a Kwok of shit!"
Glad to see him win! The Aussies were a little disappointing.

Very nice result for Kittel. The first of many TT clashes throughout the season between the top riders, and Id be quite happy if he can replicate 5th place throughout! Qatar has always been a good place for him to ride.

Keizer not too far from the vey best is good to see.
On a better day he surely can beat Cancellara, Kittel or Zmorka. But in general this are only seconds to each other. |

Cool to see PCT rider Fiedler prove he's just as strong and even stronger than the best PT time trialists. For Norway, a great result for Haugard, beating some great TT names. Stake Laengen at least got through and avoided bottom place, and we couldn't really expect anything more.
Thank you for the report, roturn! |

That is extremely disappointing from Cornu, not even inside the Top 30. He will hopefully do better for me!

A good result by Sterobo, finishing 13rd here. As ember said, also nice to see Haugard in the top 10, especially after a somewhat struggling season last year.
Congrats to Fiedler. Great win for him and fintas.

Happy to see my ex-riders doing well especially in Asian TT - a medal for Sergent, 4th for Atkins and 6th for Y-Nepo are all great.
The results seems to be a little bit too much about daily form, not the greatest thing to see.
Thanks to both roturn and roro for reports!

In my opinion we could get it done, but as there are no jerseys in real cycling for winning these races, it probably shouldn't be anything big, so would require only a small change on the main team jersey. So the most probably only a title for winning CCs. SN/roturn can probably give you a more definite answer.
