The sprinting got worse as the stages continued. But not much to complain about. Only target for the last stage is to maintain Saber and Per's GC positions.

Love the Philips-Xero-Netia successive winners, a pattern that should be repeated more often in PCT  A shame for Saber's GC ambitions on the last two stages though.
Agonizingly close to a second stage victory for Luke, a shame but hopefully the form can be converted into a top 10 on the next stage and on the GC as well, and stay 2nd in points (or 1st but that would be bad for our friends at Philips).

Kind of saw this coming with the weakness in the sprints on stage 4. Decent race, but it could've been so much better!
Congrats on the win Booker  . Thanks for the reports tsmoha and thanks for posting them Aquarius.

At least we joined a break... Can this be worth 0,5 points at least?
Ty Tsmoha. We miss you. |

Vanbilsen bested again by his nemesis Baugnies. All in all happy with the second place, but annoyed by Van Asbroeck lack of participation. Pointwise the GC is better though, so probably better this way.
Thanks for the reports!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Well, VSB actually tried. That's nice. At least he didn't roll over and die for no reason this time.
Thanks for the reports.

Outstanding performance once again from Breen! Fourth place is really above all expectations, and the fact that it's a HC race makes it even better! This should, if I'm not mistaken, bring us about level with Valio halfway into the season, which is exceptional. Might be a bit much to ask, but really hope we can keep it going in the second half
Congratz to Booker, and thanks a lot for the reports tsmoha/Aquarius!

Youve got to be kidding me. Only thing we were gonna take from the race and Uchima doesn't finish. I dont even know what to say.
The fact Saya Kuroeda couldn't finish the stage says it all. No way he shouldn't be able to finish a stage like that.

Mixed feelings in the end. Zepuntke disappointing but the teams classification, 2 podiums in the youth classification and decent GC depth makes up for it. Thanks tsmoha (and Aquarius) for the reports.

Before I will try to catch up with most of the action that I've missed over the past couple of months, let me just repeat to this While I'm sorry for all managers to have left the site for this span of time without leaving a message, it's still "nice" to be missed... in a way 
I may not be back at my old reporter's strength for the next few months (mostly due to lack of time and motivation to once again set up a new notebook with all the needed PCM stuff), but I intend to be back as an active manager. The needed work (particucarly for my HQ) ain't really encouraging, but okay
Just picking this race thread for my "comeback" message, because it's "my" race and despite the usual AI frustrations for some managers, I'm still happy with the race design. It's PCM after all, but you should know that I put quite a lot of time to get the best possible AI for particularly races like Cheshire and Cyprus (it ain't easy with PCM as your game of choice)! It's been a while that I reported this race (thanks for Aquarius to post all my stuff in the meantime), but I believe it had some reasonable results eventually (of course, there's also been some random losers).
Well then. It may take a few days/weeks to catch up with all the missed reports (I may not comment on all races I've missed), but you should soon see an active tsmoha on PCMdaily
Btw, the site is quite slow, right? Or is it just on my side?

Like that from Rowe, and so with Debesay that makes a very solid GC result from us, and, in a bittersweet way given how Saber went, the points win too for some bonuses, as well as two stage podiums. Very happy indeed
