 Busan GP
Welcome to South Korea for the Busan GP, a new 203km event between Daegu and Busan for the CT sprinters.
Favourites: | SP | ACC | Fl | STA | | SP | ACC | Fl | STA |  Thorsen | 82 | 85 | 61 | 63 |  Scully | 79 | 80 | 74 | 66 |  Guillén | 81 | 82 | 67 | 66 |  Von Hoff | 79 | 77 | 71 | 71 |  Nelson | 81 | 81 | 72 | 70 | Soupe | 79 | 77 | 72 | 72 |  Stauff | 80 | 81 | 74 | 74 |  Krieger | 79 | 79 | 71 | 71 |  Nizzolo | 80 | 79 | 73 | 70 | Clarke | 79 | 78 | 72 | 72 |  Rowe | 80 | 70 | 72 | 80 |  Vanderaerden | 79 | 75 | 72 | 71 |  Salleh | 80 | 80 | 70 | 73 |  Colbrelli | 79 | 75 | 74 | 74 |  Kip | 80 | 82 | 69 | 67 | Vingerling | 79 | 79 | 71 | 72 |  Drapac | 80 | 79 | 71 | 70 | Awang | 79 | 83 | 64 | 67 |  Docker | 79 | 77 | 72 | 69 | | | | | |
Huge list of sprinters here today, Thorsen and Guillén are the fastest, but they’re known to be inconsistent, so Nelson can look at a good chance at victory.
Stauff is one of the sprinters here most suited to long distances, and he is one of the best in the sprints as well, so he is definitely one to watch, as well as Salleh, Nizzolo and Drapac, all well-balanced riders who will benefit from the distance.
Rowe is much better than anybody else at these long rides, but he often struggles to reach the maximum of this sprint quickly, so he is another rider who could see an opportunity here with a good day, as for all the other sprinters who line up behind this strong cast.

I'll tip Stauff for the win, he's been really quite great in March.

Hopefully we can get the all Malaysian train firing correctly but with it being such a long day I'm not sure if my leadouts will still have the energy. Something makes me think it will be down to Salleh to do it on his own again so I hope he'll get a good wheel if that's the case.

The Ambition train is back. So far it's shown to be devestating in it's power, but not exactly helpful all the time. Nelson - Soupe - Ewan - Thomas are all riders who can contest a win in their own right. And with the support from Nardin, Bridges, Julian and Wolverine we've got no qualms with chasing. It's time to reach the top step of the podium and get our 10 wins goals back on track.

Clark3 for the podium. Scully makes me cry. Jams for another break.

I have little hope at this point that Docker will do anything ever.

A bit too long for Thorsen! He will try, but we have Rizza as back up here! 
Wiggo and Simon Gerrans!

Think its time for Nizzolo to finally show what he's capable off here.

Has to be Guillen for me.

wtf is wrong with our leadout
Points is Points but we're going to horribly miss our 10 wins goal at this rate. I'll take 2nd for Nelson, he hates winning but at least he's consistent. 5th for Soupe is good, especially after a sprint like that. Not sure what the hell happened with Ewan... Julian once again showing himself off as a great domestique, shame no-one would take him on loan!
But yeah, our leadout....

I literally don't even know what's going on with these sprint classics anymore. It seems like everyone but a few riders just gives up and unfortunately for me Docker always seems to be one of them.
The fact that we had a bunch of guys up there and Razzie finished 12th himself make this particularly upsetting. Can PCM only handle 1 team actually working or what?
Anyway results like this are what keep us from doing anything near the top of the standing. Pure crap from the team as usual.
Thanks for the report.

As usual, Podium Ambition score huge, that depth certainly seems to be paying off so far and they certainly come out as winners today if compared to the likes of Kraftwerk they're fighting against for the division crown.
Surprisingly good tactical win by Salleh who does exactly what sammy told him to do, get on the right wheels  Congrats!

Congrats to sammyt, good win and TMM for big points 2 with in the top 10.
Relieved to see Stauff on the right side of the split so he could add to our podium finish count and keep the points ticking over.
Thanks for the great report trek.
