Mixed Championships - ALB/ARM/BLR/SRB
Road Race
In a big race for us we had several fighters for NCs in the mix. On the flat roads it was Stanislau & Siarhei for Belarus, Gabor for Serbia and Xhuliano for Albania.
On the wide and flat roads of the Road Race a breakaway went away and was never seen again, stealing the NCs for Serbia (Borisavljevic) and Belarus (Sakalou). That still meant a chance for our team to win it, in Albania against the Becherovka empire. Look what happened in the final sprint:
Xhuliano winning the Albanian NC for Isostar!
1 | Milos Borisavljevic | Euskaltel | 1h28'24 | 2 | Andrei Sakalou | Becherovka - Petrof | + 24 | 3 | Yauheni Hutarovich | VisitUkraine p/b Nemiroff | + 4'29 | 4 | Siarhei Papok | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. | 5 | Xhuliano Kamberaj | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. | 6 | Eugert Zhupa | Becherovka - Petrof | s.t. | 7 | Stanislau Bazhkou | Aker - MOT | s.t. | 8 | Varsham Darbinyan | Novatek-Panarmenian.net | s.t. | 9 | Mihran Avetisyan | Novatek-Panarmenian.net | s.t. | 10 | Zsolt Der | Netia - Norske Skog | s.t. | 11 | Gabor Kasa | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. | 12 | Ilia Koshevoy | Becherovka - Petrof | s.t. | 13 | Branislav Samoilev | Valio - DeLaval | s.t. | 14 | Artur Grigrian | Novatek-Panarmenian.net | s.t. | 15 | Tyron Giogieri | Becherovka - Petrof | s.t. |
Time Trial
In the time trial chances were even more open.
At first, as the defending champion,
Kasa managed to take the title once more over his opponents. He'll wear a beautiful Serbian NC once again next year.
Kasa is the fastest on the road again
Next up was the Belorussian TT, and here it was our man to be one of the favourites. Beating the legendary cow in Samoilev he takes the victory in the gorgeous jersey of Aker-MOT. Thanks again for developing in what he is right now!
Stan shows off what he is capable off
Last up was the Albanian NC. And there X was again the outsider against Becherovka. But again we managed to turn them down. A big win for us once more, beating Giogieri by a spare margin. He as well developed this year, at Vivacom, and we are absolutely amazed by the steps he took there over the season. What stands there at the end of the season for him is being the double Albanian champion as a Neo-Pro. What a year!
double up for Xhuliano
1 | Gabor Kasa | Isostar - Adriatic | 1h19'55 | 2 | Artur Grigrian | Novatek-Panarmenian.net | + 1 | 3 | Stanislau Bazhkou | Aker - MOT | + 49 | 4 | Branislav Samoilev | Valio - DeLaval | + 1'31 | 5 | Milos Borisavljevic | Euskaltel | + 1'36 | 6 | Zsolt Der | Netia - Norske Skog | + 1'39 | 7 | Xhuliano Kamberaj | Isostar - Adriatic | + 2'41 | 8 | Tyron Giogieri | Becherovka - Petrof | + 2'44 | 9 | Yauheni Hutarovich | VisitUkraine p/b Nemiroff | + 3'22 | 10 | Mihran Avetisyan | Novatek-Panarmenian.net | + 3'29 | 11 | Eugert Zhupa | Becherovka - Petrof | + 3'49 | 12 | Varsham Darbinyan | Novatek-Panarmenian.net | + 4'29 | 13 | Siarhei Papok | Isostar - Adriatic | + 4'38 |

Mixed Championships - EST/LTU
Road Race
On the flat roads we had hopes for a breakaway win, with Egidijus Juodvalkis for the Lithuanian NC and the trio of Martin Laas, Mihkel Räim & Aksel Nommela in Estonia. Especially the Estonian NC was a big target race for us, as our sponsors for the upcoming season want to see #zeroturnaround in the success of the #meninlime!
We were able to get both one Estonian and one Lithuanian in the breakaway with Joeaar of Eddie Stobart.
However, we failed to deliver the win from that, as Gert won the race and the Estonian NC. At least Egidijus took the Lithuanian NC from this race, while Martin missed out on this big opportunity.
1 | Gert Joeaar | Eddie Stobart | 1h26'56 | 2 | Martin Laas | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. | 3 | Egidijus Juodvalkis | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. | 4 | Gediminas Bagdonas | Evonik - ELKO | + 3'24 | 5 | Aidis Kruopis | Spotify - Haglöfs | + 4'24 | 6 | Evaldas Siskevicius | Evonik - ELKO | + 4'46 | 7 | Ramunas Navardauskas | Ferrero - Samruk 2 | s.t. | 8 | René Mandri | Ferrero - Samruk | s.t. | 9 | Mihkel Räim | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. | 10 | Aksel Nommela | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. | 11 | Tanel Kangert | Gazelle | s.t. | 12 | Ignas Konovalovas | VisitUkraine p/b Nemiroff | s.t. |
Time Trial
Having no specialist we had absolutely no hope for the TT. And we were right with that assumption. A clean sweep of the last 4 places with all our 4 riders might also be an achievement...
1 | Tanel Kangert | Gazelle | 1h16'43 | 2 | Gert Joeaar | Eddie Stobart | + 2'24 | 3 | Ramunas Navardauskas | Ferrero - Samruk 2 | + 2'42 | 4 | Gediminas Bagdonas | Evonik - ELKO | + 3'10 | 5 | Ignas Konovalovas | VisitUkraine p/b Nemiroff | + 3'30 | 6 | Aidis Kruopis | Spotify - Haglöfs | + 4'21 | 7 | René Mandri | Ferrero - Samruk | + 5'51 | 8 | Evaldas Siskevicius | Evonik - ELKO | + 7'08 | 9 | Martin Laas | Isostar - Adriatic | + 7'42 | 10 | Egidijus Juodvalkis | Isostar - Adriatic | + 8'01 | 11 | Aksel Nommela | Isostar - Adriatic | + 8'41 | 12 | Mihkel Räim | Isostar - Adriatic | + 8'43 |

Great Britain
Our only rider Andrew Tennant here was looking for NC glory in the time trial, where he has some good opportunities. But also his flat skills might benefit him on the cobbled RR.
Road Race
He made it into the breakaway group of 9.
They made it up to the final kilometer which was an uphill cobbled sprint:
There he finished 6th from the break!
Congrats to the winner Joshua Edmondson. We managed to achieve our goal and grab the opportunities here, but Andrew just wasn't strong enough.
Time Trial
What a disgrace:
Andrew finished way off his opportunities over 2 minutes down on the winner Stannard. Congrats to him, eventhough being the stronger rider we hate to get beaten here, especially in the manner it turned out to be today. What a horrible day.

Croatia
Pavel Potocki was the outsider in the battles for the NCs against Robert Kiserlovski. Let's see how he did:
Road Race
In an uphill sprint of the two Robert Kiserlovski beats Pavel Potocki. A small disappointment that he couldn't sneak himself away, but he did bis best to try.
Time Trial
Croatia would also go the same way as the Road Race, as Robert Kiserlovski (SSC) would be come the double National Champion for 2017. Not as big of a gap as Moldova, but it would still be comfortable. 1'15" would separate him and Pavel Potocki (TIG).

The Netherlands
Albert Timmer was our man on the tough circuit, let's see how he did...
Road Race
He joined the breakaway with a midrange attack together with Kelderman...
...to reach the group over the top...
...to then suffer all together from cat & mousing...
...to miss out when the big guns started to fire...
...and only finish 8th.
1 | Thomas Dekker | Compal - Merida | 1h56'34 | 2 | Daan Olivier | Aegon - Lavazza | + 55 | 3 | Martijn Keizer | Aegon - Lavazza | s.t. | 8 | Albert Timmer | Isostar - Adriatic | s.t. |
Time Trial
we don't talk about stuff like this...
1 | Martijn Keizer | Aegon - Lavazza | 1h15'54 | 2 | Dennis Van Winden | Generali - AXA | + 33 | 3 | Robert Gesink | eBuddy 2 | s.t. | 28 | Albert Timmer | Isostar - Adriatic | + 7'32 |

Turkey
Reigning champion Ahmet Örken had the plan to defend his NC jersey.
Road Race
Interestingly he went in the break, together with a Kenyan and Mustafa Sayar.
Sadly it was the famous dopehead who took it with a "clean" victory.
| Mustafa Sayar | Shimano - Siam Cement | 2h12'07 | 3 | Ahmet Orken | Isostar - Adriatic | + 45 | 5 | Gökhan Hasta | Valio - DeLaval | + 11'25 |
Time Trial
The TT was not going to be ours, but we didn't do too bad. Half a minute was the disadvantage to new NC Hasta.
| Mujtaba Hussein | Kenya Airways - Dimension Data | 1h19'00 | | Gökhan Hasta | Valio - DeLaval | + 3'50 | 4 | Ahmet Orken | Isostar - Adriatic | + 4'19 | 6 | Mustafa Sayar | Shimano - Siam Cement | + 4'37 |

Another fantastic duo of jerseys to present today: First of an absolute screamer, the Lithuanian National Champion's jersey of Egidijus Juodvalkis!
Then we also have another jersey, which our man Gabor Kasa was able to defend at the Serbian National Individual Time Trial Championships. That's how you do it in style, and in style he'll also wear the shirt in TTs next year!
