I am 100% sure this is the win that knockout is the most happy with all season from MAL 
Also nice to see Rowe hanging on a for a bit in the British Nats!

3rd for Vernon in his last ever race for us before returning to Zwift next season. I'm really pleased with his results in the NC. Velasco and Triple P were also not bad in the Italian RR NC BTW

As noted in the report, brilliant end to the year for Per. Expected a little more of a challenge from Polanc, but glad we didn't get it. Really looking forward to seeing Per in his NC next year!

Shame that Dzama couldn't reclaim the title but no shame in losing to Per!
Also nice to see Vlasov win his NC, still the rider that I am the saddest that I had to let go

Some nice championships so far, thank you to all reporters. Abhi's guys on fire is always nice to see, definitely when one of them will be riding in the Colombian TT jersey at our team next season  Great effort from Higuita in the road race as well, but MAL was just too strong. Nice to see Sterbini having some fun in Italy as well.

Some solid riding from my guys
Would've been fun if TGH won the British TT, but it's not really a focus region for me so it's nice cycleYorkshire get that. Buitrago had no chance in a tough Colombian field, but he animated the race.
It feels like it's gonna a while still before we win the Slovenian road title, but at least we got the TT back with Groselj. Lammertink winning the Dutch TT is probably the highest profile NC win, looking at the traditional big cycling nations. We'll see if he sticks around to wear it for us.

Can’t believe it took bobridge that long to win aha. Good on him for getting Australian champion. He obviously still has some talent. We will evaluate for next season

Heartbreak for us in Australia. It would have been sweet to have taken the title there. Losing out to Bobridge wasn't on the cards, quirky result I guess. Congrats Jakstar!

Bringing home both jerseys is a nice consolation prize after this mediocre season. Thanks for the report!

Sucks to miss out on the only NC title that was really relevant to us (and where we did have some realistic chances to get it). But losing out to Schelling was always a risk, guess it was a 50-50 duel - didn't realize Sauber weren't there, otherwise I'd actually have expected Frankiny to be the toughest rival.

Congrats, although it's kind of sad to not have the Swiss NC jersey in the biggest races for another year
At least the TT title should be a more realistic goal for us with Dillier declining again and Blum not ready yet ^^
Otherwise, not much to see for us. Masnada with a decent finish in Italy, would have been great if that attack had gone somewhere. Similar story in Belgium, where Theuns might actually have had a shot with better positioning, strong sprint by him (nowhere to be seen under the red kite, 5th in the end)!
Bol clearly not competitive in Netherlands, too many hills for him. Bakke (NOR), Davies (GBR) and Kosic (SLO) weren't serious contenders in their respective NCs anyway.
So until now it's actually good news for our jersey designer (whoever it will be), not a single jersey to be created so far ^^ Poland ITT probably the final chance for us, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Sajnok "steal" that one as well...

Good to see Vlatos taking the jersey one last time. He'll get a final season at PCT level to get a few point more to his tally before it's all over.
Koumpetsos taking the win was interesting. Not likely we'll get to see it too often. Soulious would have been a better fit, but can't argue with a winner - and he's maxing at the end of the season.
