That was the complete opposite of the intended plans for this stage  strong move by Kripovets to hold on, that was a good sight

Do you actually race them on PCM? (I think you aren't playing with PCM in which case in that case there are basically many routes and races on Cyclingnews Forum (Race Design Thread), Parlamento Ciclista (Disenando Recorridos Vueltas), La Flamme Rouge, Puertos Montana and co.)

No I don't use PCM - so thanks for the tip, hadn't thought of using cyclingnews or la flamme rouge and didn't know of the others!

There are many variants of TDF, Giro, Vuelta, or the monuments, 1-week races or some fantasy races.

A very good race for us so far. Lopez has been excellent. Hopefully nothing untoward happens on the final stage and we keep 1st and 12th in the GC. Keeping the Points lead will be a bonus but it might not happen.

Cheruiyot proving what a loyal team mate he is. You gotta love this dude - he's the hero Kenyan kids deserve. If only Baba would not be such difficult to like... 
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Siegel doing rather well in a race meant to be a filler between New Zealand and Yarra to stay in a rhythm before the latter where he will be a favorite.
Too bad he lost contact on the descent there, but it's the difference between 6th and 8th, which is acceptable in a Cat.B race. Still good rides to stay with the best puncheurs.
Thanks for really good reports jandal!

Can't complain about the team trying to save that high GC spot of Lafuente, making Diaz to wait for him and pull trying to bring back the attackers. It didn't work out, but probably Diaz was too far already in GC to have gone in that group by himself and be worthy

Ruta America finished - an interesting race I think  Opening weekend of the Spring Classics period next, but it's spread across the season break! In there is some development and training time, plus the reveal of the full calendar and April/May planning hopefully. Speaking of which, I recommend you do your early March stuff now as most of your time with this will be for development for the next block and that could slip don the priority list.
August calendar up, flats and hills return with a vengeance after the rude mountain-fest interruption

At least we didn't stop trying. Good job by the team, and also Julianas with a great effort for second. The GC result of course is underwhelming, but we put up a great fight

Nice sprint from Lafuente to take a 6th place. Didn't plan to have a true sprinter this season, so having an all-rounder rider like him, with a nice top speed, which actually can get in the mix (and get us our first win!) is fantastic
Thanks for the reports jandal! A really enjoyable read!

Can live with 4th on the GC for Puymbroek.
Looking forward to the opening of the spring season. Cartamundi welcomes the Carbon Throne Peleton to our home city of Liège for Verviers - Liège. I am sure our rabid fans will be lining the Cote de la Roche aux Faucon and the other key climbs throughout the route. |

Enjoy the way way way way way never never again too long end to February. Hopefully over the next few days I'll do rankings, budgets, and open development and whatnot.

Decent by Viru, Kripovets and Kristasis with potential left

12th place in Nord is just about ok. We're not very strong on the cobbles.
3rd place in the rankings is very satisfying though. However we are likely to slip a few spot in the classics. Hoping for Dubois especially to pick up his points-scoring in the coming months. Huge month for La Pitagora!

We might have scored better without the startlist error, but we were never going to be a top team with our talent focus. Yet.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
