The season opening one day classics Copa America and Palm classic are posted.
For the latter I made a video: YT:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyQCG...yQCG05QC2Y
It's unfortunately not very good quality but I think the next videos will be better again. Also you can see some NCs are still missing, they'll also be added soon.
@Ollfardh, Shonak: Your dev teams still are not wearing a helmet, but I will continue to investigate what is causing this. Sorry about that. |

Yay, a win for Van Poppel to start the season!
No worries about the Dev team, they were pretty inactive in the first race anyway 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

The "high" flat of Alzaga paid off with his 8th place in Copa America despite having only 66 in sprint

Great work by Suntory to chase down the break and then rubbish at getting Cav in a good position. 6th in a goal race is not as good as we were hoping.
Much better start to our main goal this season which is to win the U23. 2nd for Romano is great, we will be looking for more of the same in the sprints.
Its great to get the season underway, thanks to the ICL admin team for all the hard work.

van Poppel continuing where he stopped last season, wow...Vanmarcke shouldn't have dropped back with 5 to go still a solid result, eventhough we miss the big points...3 in the top 15 is nice
U23 classics could've/should've been better, bad luck with the train I fear...

Congrats Ollfardh, Van Poppel proving he's worth the wage he demanded. I'm happy for Onofrei, I featured him in my WT preview and had only good things to say about him.

A decent start to our WT campaign with a top 10 first up although I was hoping for Degenkolb to challenge for a top 5. Something to build on at least.
Congrats to Ollfardh. And psyched that we're underway already

Haha Ross did exactly as I predicted  Copa America is the best U23 race, no doubt about it 
I'm pretty happy about that and very angry about MG so I'm going to pretend Palm Classic never happened...

By far our best ever January already. 3rd and 2nd, that'll do.
People keep underestimating Phinney, which is fine by me.

Not the best first race for our Dev Team but we couldn't scout a decent sprinter
Bouhanni seems to have been badly positioned at Palm Classic, so fifth is not a bad result.

Average start for our Dev Team - just looks like we didn't the positioning / train right if the guys finished 11th, 14th and 18th...

Nerz already in the lead, he must surely be the top favourite to win this race.

Indeed! Really happy to see a victory in my first ever ICL race (and stage). Jeanesson superb and Kozhatayev keeping up with Nerz in s2. Everything is going to plan perfectly, only Oliveira struggled a bit but it's excused cause Ilias and Krizek are still in contention for a top place.

Naturally nothing to us for cheer for, waiting for Toowoomooba.
