Awesome race! Congratulations to TMM for the win! I am curious if a Caribbean champion jersey is in store for Bridges now.
I personally rooted for Hasani Hennis for reasons of a PCM career of my own, but the route didn't entirely suit him. Nonetheless I enjoyed the race a lot and I am looking forward to future editions of this one. Also to a possibly Central American Championship or a Pan-American one. Although I would LOVE to see both of them being raced. |

What a spectacle! I loved seeing the overview picture with all those wonderful flag jerseys. This race almost made me want to buy caribbean riders for next season  |

Congratulations to TMM on winning the first race of the season and thanks for the eventful report to SN!
Could you give an overview of what races we can expect? (Not the profiles, just the different races)

No sweat in losing the sprint there, Marcos did well enough. Congrats TMM!

The current plan:
African Championships
Asian Championships
European Championships: 2x23 nation qualifiers, into 1x24 final
Oceania Championships: 6 Australia teams, 3 New Zealand teams, Fiji and Samoa
Pan-American Championships: Some Caribbean nations to combine under the Podium Ambition banner, to reach 24 teams from 29 nations)
Happy to consider other suggestions for realistic groupings, if the number of nations involved can justify it.

Well, if the Caribbeans can get their own race
Balkan championships: Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey.
Soviet championships: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan
Middle East will probably not have enough cyclists to make it interesting.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

The Caribbean Championships are a real yearly event! And a really important race as well for these riders.
Not just some weird creation to satisfy my new focus area It also sits on its own tectonic plate, which is one accepted way to define a continent.

The Caribbean Championship obviously has limited sportive value, but some of the used jerseys looked awesome. good job by whoever did the work on those
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Yes it is and it's fun to catch some images from it as well. As it is the Central American Championship, though in this case I don't held my hopes high for it to make an appearance in the MG. With only 7 nations and very few riders in some cases I am not sure how it would look on the MG. But I still hope to see the Central American Championship here as well, this year or maybe in the years to come. |

Hasani Hennis with the upset! Clearly both him and Croes were holding back in the Road Race, and their poor showings there are compensated by ITT medals. Sulvaran did well to try and spoil the T3A party.
Campbell came close to the double podium, but the major disappointment was Vanderpool. Obviously too much energy expended in the Road Race.
Matthews continues to be consistently surprising!
Perez will also be hugely unsatisfied with that ride, but the Cuban knows he'll have many more opportunities in TT's as he develops.
Love the bright and colorful Caribbean races. Especially as almost none of these riders will have much showing this season. But strong first steps as we look to develop the region.
Thanks SN!

Sulvaran with a huge second half of the TT, but not enough to win. He'll have to settle for second against the Podium Ambition armada. Still, really great to see. Very satisfied to see his resistance helping him, and he still has some room to improve at level 3. So very optimistic and very proud of his efforts in both races. Congrats TMM on another win!
Thanks for another great report as well. A lot of fun, though I realize I was one of only a few managers with a stake in this one. Looking forward to the rest!
On a side note - does this mean my 2014 custom equipment is still in the game after all?
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

I love the jerseys wore by Hennis and Croes! They look awesome! Maybe a Turks & Caicos rider would join the MG circuit and he'll highlight the Bambarra jersey in future Caribbean championships. 
Lovely to see a gold medal for Anguilla cycling. These Caribbean Championships were really fun to watch and I hope they'd be a constant feature in the MG world.
Congratulations once again to TMM and thank you SN for the reports! |

Nice little perk with colourful less-known jerseys.
Great job with the research behind this!

There certainly is some custom Carlsberg TT wheels in there!
Thought you might like the use of those jerseys!

Asia will be next, and this will be hosted in  Thailand. Got a busy couple of days, so can't say for certain when.

Cool to see the continental champs back. Considering Caribbean get one I was thinking South East Asia could also be fitting as they also have their own games: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/...lt/history
Regardless looking forward to the upcoming races especially the Asian one and it's great to see Thailand gets to host them. Hope my guys can show themselves there! |

Cool to see the Duolingo representation in that event, with Min flying the flag for South Korea and Hiratsuka doing well to help Japan.
