Really good to see Grmay and Ciolek flying the Pedal Africa flag on GC at Tropicale.
Shame we could get the win, but always in the mix is a good sign

20th and 23rd isn't bad at all considering the competition. Some solid points and a good idea of what to expect in these races as an "outsider"  Very pleased with the TTT performance, even without Martin we were able to put on a very strong performance.

Christchurch - Akaroa is there. 18 riders in the break, some madness of a race!

Remember when i said that Tropicale's squad was probably my weakest in all year? Well, i forgot that i was racing Christchurch-Akeroa. I mean, my U23 team performed better than my CT team

It did seem like an amazing race. Congratz Cool Runnings, certainly one of the best teams of January. Thanks Croatia for the quick report!
Not the best of races for us, 4 riders in the point area but the best being a 12th, it really wasn't Kern's day.. Vakoc saved the team from disaster but it proved too hard for them

What can I say:
Huge breakaway check
Having a decent'ish rider (Kohler) in there check
Loads of breakaway riders getting top places check
Kohler nearly getting last out of the breakaway riders check
Bit of a shame, could have been a great race for us with Puccio, Voss, Aregger and Koch possibly all being inside or close to the top 10. Ah well, what can you do, thanks for the report again Croatia.

I feel somebody wants to take over control of a team for the sake of a certain rider

Nice to see us on top with 1-2 Bananito and MVDP, finally some good points for Gallopin & Co. too, it has been some time.

Decent start with both Degenkolb and Van Avermaet scoring. We're going to fall in February with just one race before we can hope to rise again.

Go Sergio!!! Victory in Akaroa is a big one for us and Henao, we've got to make the most of all his races to be remotely competitive.
7th in January CT rankings, way above what i thought would happen. Cool Runnings is off to a flying start even if we know it won't last.

Brilliant start for us I've gotta say. Even without Martin the team is doing amazing so far.. Indonesia was truly an overwhelming race, way over my expectations.
I'm a noob tho, can someone explain to me exactly how the promotions work?

Wow already thinking about promotions eh?
Top 3 get direct promotion. Then depending on disbands in the non relegating WT teams.

Also an early suggestion for next year's calendar, can a couple of the earlier WT cobbled races be moved to the last week of February? Only one WT race in Feb and March is overloaded!
