Shame Jiang could not attack in the RR. Guess he was too much of a favorite or so.

Glad we keep the Chinese TT shirt in Haijun Ma's abscence. Li is worth the colors.
Unfortunate race tbh, as soon as I saw the single rider attack I knew it was over. Atleast in the older PCM's they would do a bit better at chasing that down. In the new ones only one or two teams ever chase and if those teams have 1/2 riders its pretty much hopeless.

just saying, testing PCM16 NCs currently, and in 9 NCs (7 of that with under 50 riders, none with the favourite having a team of more than two riders) 7/9 breakaways were chased down and the winner came from the peloton. Not trying with the man-game db but with the daily db though. Peter Sagan even won a Slovakian NC, where only 6 riders participated...

I love the look of an Ethiopian flag on a Compal-back! The mixed african race was cool to follow  |

It's something that would be very easy to manipulate in PCM15 by using the control rider to keep the gap at around 2/3 minutes. From there the AI can stay active and will either take over the chase or attack from the peloton.

One-rider breaks really do suck.
Disappointed not to be in the Latvian break but ultimately the jersey ended up where it ought to be. Congrats to knockout!

So my former rider and my loanee at Valio dont even attempt to fight against my guys? I'm disappointed :P
A 1-rider NC break must be the most boring race to watch/report ^^
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Time for the computer to go out of my window? Close. Very close...
Nepom would've loved that ITT jersey after fat old Gruzdev stole it last year...
Kochetkov in the RR jersey kinda made me happy, until I saw that TT

Wow, Shishelov did absolutely all he could to try and snatch the win away from the big guys, exactly how I would've done it. I'm surprised Nepomnachsniy (I didn't look that up) didn't take it, he had by far the strongest kick in that group.
Also a decent 5th in the TT which is his strongest point.
Still, I'm not sure whether these results will be enough for us to keep him.

Wrong Scarponi.
TT was surprisingly decent though.

Bit different reading through the Luxembourg champs without Vesuvio. Happy with the win however.

I'm pretty sure we're seeing more break wins than the last couple of years, the break taking it even in Spain and Belgium is absolutely disgusting - not that I have anything against the winners' teams of course.
