The Worlds are over and this means, the National Championships are the final bit of racing in the 2016 season. Lots of races to come in the next couple of days on all kind of terrains.
The route type for each Nation can be found here: https://pcmdaily.c...st_1230446
All the eligible riders now prepare for their last race days and chances are excellent that the most aggressive riders will once again be rewarded.

I take it nations with only 1 rider, like Antigua & Barbuda, don't go on this list? i.e. it's just assumed they win the NC and that we all know who these riders and nations are

Just let repeat last year's Aussie double. For all other countries, I will follow a lot of breakaways while relaxing with a beer or two.
Thanks in advance for reports, that are likely rather less exciting to write

Thank Roturn and others for all the admin work setting this up 
Already an NC jersey for the team. 
Don't think we'll win another though, have hopes for Poland but reckon we'll stuff that up, while we might have outside bets for Denmark or Bulgaria, or even Germany or Italy if we have a lot of luck and it goes to the break. And we have a good shot at the Cyprus NC, but I don't even want that. So no real goals and can only end up happy with whatever happens.
Also, Nepal, Qatar, Burkina Faso, Bolivia, Georgia, Hungary, Curacao, Liechtenstein, Rwanda and Syria are in the table of winners twice.

Great to have the first NC secured
I'll say we have pretty good odds for Finland and hopefully that won't be the only one. However several riders with a chance are on their way out of the team no matter how they do.
On a side note: Will jerseys in the old format/size still work or does it have to be converted?

Ahh, didn't realize we have one of those automatic NC this year
Jacob Salcone, from Fiji, our best finisher in the TdF as 99th overall. Proudly wearing a beautiful NC shirt in 2017. Well done.

First NC in the pocket, and it's one of our stagiaires
Hoping for some more NC wins, not expecting much of any single one of them (except Armenia0, but hey we'll see how it unfolds and hopefully we can grab a few more jerseys.

I'd like to take 1 more NC than just De Maar. That's our goal. We'll see how it plays out. Always a fun time of year.

Three free NC's in the pocket, but I wish we could achieve at least 2 more!

Goal was to have at least one NC, that goal is already completed without any racing xD
Nareklishvilli for the win!
We don't have many NC's and those we do have strong riders in, are in races with routes that does not fit our rider strengths one bit. Except for a few of course, hope to see Roche in Irish colors next season!

Gabon NC is the main goal and when we are 5 vs Bakari, I really hope that those odds are in our favour...
MOR and ALG in the same race could work in our favour as well. Any others after that are a bonus.

Swedish NC is most important hopefully we can take it.
Danish NC we can be there and fight for the win with some luck, Norway in case of right break. And Kruopis could do Good. |

The gazillionth time is the charm. Portugal NC is all we're interested in!
Good luck everyone!
Btw Angola already in the pocket is quite a treat.

Niger RR + TT - Goodnews for Clifford (yes, it never gets old ).
Two points of minor confusion:
1. I thought the 'NGR' nation in the DB stands for Nigeria - no? (is where the IRL Clifford comes from).
2. This might be my mistake, maybe we sent him to the wrong airport, but I expected to see Dominique Mayho from WCC battle with Chequan Richardson for the Bermuda titles - don't see BER listed in the spoiler list, but was in the original NC thread. Am I missing something, or an oversight?

If Machado finishes 2nd again it would be getting beyond a joke |
