Well done, tsmoha.
And nice to see Bennett up there even though I was hoping to see him closer to Morton and ahead of Haig etc.
Good start into the road events. |

If Ignatiev is going to stink it up in a TT i'd rather have it happen here than during the season

Didn't see Cameron Meyer this race, though you can't expect much from a sprinter in these kind of races.
Hoping for some more presence in Europe and America. |

I thought that was an ironic comment on the Tour of Guangxi at first

Congratulations to Kudus on the win, Eritel – Sonatrach/SportingNonsense and the Eritrean fans on the impressive double.
Nice to see one of my own riders (Kebede) get some mention – thanks a lot for the report Roman !

Another team domination. Congrats SN.
If this goes on I'd like to get a 1-3 from Dutch cyclists. |

Well, what a day for Sri Lanka! That was a great effort to hold off Choi, and a shame that Gilanipoor and Hiratsuka both got caught in a major crash for us, although Shika did reasonably well.

Wow, what a cool win for Sembukutti and Sri Lankian cycling!
Hopefully the last time I have to see Ji using all of his energy to pull Shikai up mountains |

Great performance by both Qatari's! Albourdainy with a lucky third, but sometimes luck falls on your side and third is still a great result. Esmaeli also rode a great race, riding with the remaining favourites for a long time. Great showing for Qatari cycling!
Congratulations to Sembukutti who was clearly the better rider in the breakaway.

Congratulations to Ayubowan, jph27 and Sri Lanka.
Great to have a rider at 5th (thanks to jph27 for the loan), and also Sota Ikibe got some mention.
Thanks again to Roman for the great work.

hmm, not good that my new mountain leader hit the deck, seems like my climbers are just cursed as Kung couldn't stay upright last year either.
At Least that didn't hit Sembukutti who managed to get the win after spending last year on loan with us, maybe we should have brought him back to teach my other guys how to keep it rubber side down.
Congrats JPH, hopefully it's a sign of things to come for your squad.

Well, at least Anacona was mentioned...
As being the first climber to drop. Hell yeah. |

I am really sorry about some unexpected delays in the last few days, having some unexpected time difficulties, but should finish whole Conti-Champs period really soon, enjoy.
Have to say I was not overally impressed with AI during American RR. Colombia used their power to absolutely nothing, no big cooperation for any team at all. Monsalve was almost able to unexpectedly steal the win.
