 Japan Cup
One of the final races of the year will take place in Japan for the HC rated Japan Cup. The riders will tackle a 12km circuit a total of 13 times. The part of the course that stands out are the two hills. The first, which we will finish on top of, is 1.5km long and is not as steep as the second climb which is 1.1km and maxes at 10%

The rider of the year in the PCT Sanchez Gil is here and is a big favourite. Last year’s winner Di Maggio is also here. However it is a possibility that the race could end in a sprint, perhaps a man with a turn of speed such as Pozzato can sneak in a suprise result. But riders such as McCarthy, Kelderman and Dowsett will be looking to prevent that and take the win themselves.

A shame this wasn't a CT-race 
I'll put my money on Kelderman here. |

Last race of the season for AMEX-Navigon. Last chance for points.
Finish strong boys, get lazy and you might not get a contract next season.

Not sure what to expect. It's a really strong field, so any result in the top 10 would be great.
Going to take a wild stab and tip Dowsett.

Last chance for Meyer to take his first (and last) win for Risa-Ergon. Sending a hopeless team though, since I managed to tick the wrong box, and sent Dempster instead of Haas.
Should suit Meyer good anyway, hopefully he'll deliver.

Come on. Deliver me the PCT title!
I hope that one rider joins the early break. Then Olivier, Thurau, Villella, Bazzana with some depth points to keep Gazelle/Puma behind.
Thrilling finish.

It's a super duper mega hyper ultra important race for us.
First of all, of course the battle for sixth.
And on the other side, it's a goal race for us.
This means that a victory would be absolute fantastic and every result that grants us the sixth place would be great.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Final race would so be good to finish on a high. Not really bothered though as long as we get our top 5, so let's just enjoy this final race of such a great season. |

Last chance for Di Maggio to win a classic in 2015, last of many races he is presented as former winner. Anyway, without him we would have been relegated by now... will be happy with any team performance sealing us the top20 ranking spot.
Guess it is a nice opportunity to finish the almost perfect season for LLS, my bet would be in his favor.

Oh great another zero point hilly course. Been a rough finish to the season for us, but looks like we have avoided the relegation and will get the chance to to strengthen the squad for next year.

A lot of rankings places riding on this one. Lululemon will need some luck to survive at the bottom. Meanwhile at the top the division title is on the line!

Nice race to watch to end the season what will be will be and if LLS takes Evonik up he will have earned it. |

As long as we do enough to keep our fourth place over Kenya I'll be happy. Zingle has been riding solidly and as long as he is around 12th-15thand Ben Nasser doesn't hit a podium place we should be fine.
LLS to cap his season off here.

Calling Ben Nasser to take this one. Either him or Monfort. Or someone else obviously. Kelderman would be a much funnier winner though.
Anyway, let the best win!

A top 15 will do, hopefully Zardini is up to that in our final race as a PCT team for a season.
I'm hoping Di Maggio takes it but judging by their season form I think LLS and Kelderman will be the 1-2, just not sure in what order.

Really great to be here again, as its the biggest race for us on the year in our home country. Its doubtful we can win, but maybe we can come up with a surprise for the home fans.

Good luck to all in the last PCT race of the year, especially those two teams in the title fight! Supporting Gazelle a bit more here, because of their last years decision to send us to PT with not accepting promotion. So it would be nice to see them actually winning a PCT and going to PT as the division winners.

Not that there's much in it for us, but ending the season with a win would be sweet as hell. I am very happy I'm not in any promotion/relegation battle though, the flat finish would certainly make it extra difficult and extra nervy.
