Nice 3rd place by Cerny, surprised to see Moser defeated though.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Happy to see road races producing somewhat decent racing and worthy winners. 
Not happy with the resutls of Czech RR though. Just another fail from Vakoc... Congrats to Vesuvio, on the other way it is really nice to see our former rider getting the jersey for a year. At least Turek delivered that TT jersey as expected.

Yeah. Thanks, Roman, for making this happen.
Cool wins for König and Denifl. Should be fun to see some more good riders wearing a NC kit next year.

Sorry Roman  Very nice for Konig to pick up a victory in the NC.
And while Australia has usually been contested, thanks to the strength of tsmoha's teams (Bobridge also winning on the hills 2 years ago), it is indeed good to see how the Czech and Austrian races have gone. Something to get used to!

Maybe even we can do a shocker in the Norwegian or USA race

Denifl 
Now he won more races this season, than in his career before. |

Pretty happy to see decent performances from my guys at the USA Champs. Never expected to have a chance against the big guns, but happy overall with how they did.

Nice ride from Talansky behind two superior riders. Can't complain there.
Part of me likes the decent racing of the new format, part of me is less excited seeing the obvious riders competing and winning. Still, plenty to go and hopefully we'll see a number of surprise winners.

4 NC's in the bag, and can't complain how USA went.

Too bad Boswell couldn't take the win there. He was in the perfect position to do it.

TVG deserves to wear a Natty jersey again (even if he doesn't ride in our colors next year  ). I'm glad this new format allowed that.

Úran proves why he is the main favourite for the TT! Avila got really close too...

Didn't like the Colombian race. The fake riders shouldn't be forming the train if there are other teams with 4-5 real riders.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Not sure if I'm completly sold on the fake riders idea tbh. Racing is much better, but almost every win to the favourite (or at least top three favourite) and no one really making their strong teams count for much against riders without a strong team. Might be about the distance, I don't know, but for me, a NC should be a little bit unpredictable, and not just the favourites riding together to the last hill/sprint etc. Then again, the previous system had some big flaws as well with some horrible racing. But at the moment it kinda feels a bit too predictable for my liking.

Can't say I disagree, there's not much hype for them as a CT team that has to rely on breakaway wins. How about only adding riders in smaller NCs? Maybe up to 50? |
