LBL is up: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1281446
Including a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvyim...vyimdZs87Q
Enjoy!
Unfortunately my game crashed during the podium ceremony so I had to get the results by looking at the replay, so there are no time gaps in the results, but I marked where the gaps appeared. |

Great race for GVK, I was hoping for more the way they took the last climb, but then AI was consistently bad and prevented him from taking a good sprint position. Still happy with 9th though!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Wow, amazing performance by Bananito and great entertaining videos too, with two favourites making solo moves. Thanks for that, bikex. It'll be interesting to see the rankings now.
I would have never thought La Ronca had enough in the tank after his chase on Kwiatek and the solo ride up till 5k banner. Up Ans, I was expecting his legs to give in any second. But the boy recovered in time to deliver a fantastic finish. His luck that the favs were basically at a stand-still up to Ans, which allowed him to get that red bar quickly up.
Also nice to see Grupo Argos taking big points from the Ardennes and Martin finally getting a decent result for Peugeot. Contador for me personally a bit disappointing, having seen him last year trenching the field, I was waiting for his killer acc to kick in for some mad dashes. Kwiatek also with a disappointing result but the way he was riding was really daring and nice-to-watch. As the best hill rider, the Ardennes campaign (and overall the season so far), is a below my expectations of Kwiatek tho. Wawa suffering the same fate as Purito in the first season of ICL by the way: After two dominating seasons at AGR and Fleche, LBL was just an odd place outside Top 10.
Personally, it is really nice to have the third doyenne win here now. Liege - Bastogne - Liberty. <3

Amazing race for us! Moser 7th is ok-ish, but good enough. But having Pantano surviving from the breakaway to take 11th???
I believe that having Pantano in the group made Moser to lose a couple of places (at least) in the sprint, as he was behind him in the second line, and had to avoid him when he sprinted
A goal race that i'm almost sure that i'll take maximum bonus from it, as i remember that it was needed the points of a sixth place to get to the max, so 7th+11th is way more points.
Congrats Shonak for the win! And huge result too for Argos!

Ah, seems like I forgot to congratulate Shonak. I should pay more attention to transfers, I had no idea Betancur rode for you

Fourth best CT team in Prestige ranking is fine at this moment, but the rest of the team will have to step up a little in the next months until Moser comes back in August with a huge amount of his RD's been in August and October.
Nice to see that Moser is the CT rider with most points in Prestige ranking
And thanks for the update Bikex!

I thought we'll move up in March but we didn't but we have moved up a couple of spots in April. If we stay around this spot for the season, it'll be fine I guess. May isn't a big month for the team, so we may slip down a bit again.

Liege kinda terrible, but not as bad as Amstel...
Colombia was fun though, cant have weak CT teams take that

The LBL finale was a little weird - so many kilometres, so many climbs, and then it comes down to a 600 metre uphill "mass sprint", looked more like a track event.
Aviva climbed again in the rankings, 3rd in the CT, 10th in the prestige ranking, fantastic. But we now have two months with only 3 races each, so we expect to drop again.

Big race at LBL, making up for the painful mistakes we did in the first two classics. What a race from our leaders!

We're doing really good so far, but Tim Wellens needs to perform well in this Giro to keep it up.

OK result for Martin, definitely a lot better than the last few races.

You know, there's a world outside of cobbles. It's quite okay too.

Really good rides by Herklotz and especially Brus in the first Romandie stages, looking set for a 1-2 in white maybe? And Silvio might find it tough to beat Costa for the overall, but second would be great too.

Very good start to our home race in Romandie. Ponzi with two podiums, Cattaneo performing very well so far and we are leading in the teams classification. I've basically sent the entire mountain squad here so hopefully Caruso can draw some strength from that. Podium is our hope, but it's gonna be really tough.
