Whats happening with Sakartvelo NC? Since we boycotted due to anti Baltic policies from organisers, Giorgi won both?

Not much to do for Yzeiraj on a hilly course, but we'll happily wait for a flat one in the upcoming seasons |

Orken gave it a real good go on a hilly course

Fablok also didn't nominate so the Georgian NC is not awarded.

Big kudos to Marco on the multi-national reports, I stayed away from them because they seem like a big pain and not only did he take them all but the reports are a great read.

Dear Mr. Guillén, that was a joke. We're offering you a pan-flat NC route, and you manage to get dead last. I'll have to ask our jersey maker how much he paid you for this no-show...
So our last hope for having at least one NC jersey next year is Cissé, who might be able to defend his ITT title. Or we buy Frankiny

I mean, we're really, really happy about his season, but to see him give away his last chance for an NC title in such a way is really... not great.
But maybe he just likes our own jersey so much that he didn't want to switch to an NC shirt

Only just saw Areruya's awesome Rwandan RR victory, love it Going to look good in a blue, yellow and green NC and I doubt he'll be out of it for too many seasons if I can just make sure the votes go HI-MO-HI-MO for the next decade
Spoiler Though actually Ndayisenga has a good shot to beat him in a MO route next season

Wow, didn't think Stan could grab the RR win in Belarus so very surprised and happy he made it a double and can bring that lovely red and green striped jersey onto the road stages next season

The best course of action now for Jandal is to sell Bazhkou to Adastra

When talking about DB fixes, Gordian Banzer's nationality should be changed to SWI, as he's racing with a Swiss license since 2016... So LIE actually has a foreign NC

I think this is the second year in a row where Durasek gets second place in the Croatian RR, but I'll take the TT NC this year

Well, the cobbles were a tad too hard for Cissé, as expected. But at least he defends his ITT title - our only NC this year
Thanks a lot for the great work to all the reporters!

I guess this is the problem with mixed NC's. Two riders from different nations, one working for the other, to have them both fail in the end
At least Christodoulos gets that Cyprian TT title. The first of many I assume

They were on different teams (that's why there are sixteen riders in Swisslion jersey) so the AI should not have let one work for the other. But kinda curious how it looked like they blocked each other
