It's almost as if PCM made sure the relegation fight would become even tighter, I'm pretty sure Saeco will only just overtake us at the end of Sept, but we somehow still keep Vegeta and Spark behind.
Thanks for the great coverage Bikex and congrats to Shonak and everyone else who had fun under their team's point of view!

Thanks for the great coverage. Great to see how come back like this after the disappointment at le Tour. Sucks for marco tho, Martin would have deserved that 3rd place so much for awesome racing throughout the three weeks. Gratz to all winners and runner-ups and to D2B getting the points jersey on the last day. Sprinters like to keep their managers waiting.

Just when I thought it was all over, Ackermann comes so close to a stage win. So unlucky (again), but great result for him!
Thanks for the great reports, let's bring in october 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

This was not enough from Nairo. At least a podium, but he could've scored more surely...
Novikov and Parra with some sweet additional points, not many though...
What a points haul from Guardini, good job in planning there Smowz! And for Contador you have to be happy after the Tour, what an amount of points he gained here

You know what, I could be all whiny and angry abut that crash which cost Martin the podium, and I am, but I would never have imagined fourth place and a stage win going into this race. My goal was a lower top-10 for Martin and maybe a stage win, but we're leaving here with fourth place in the GC, third place in the KoM and two stage wins! So despite the crash, still a great race for us.
Congratulations to Shonak, Bikex and Croatia on the podium, and of course thanks Bikex for the race.

Not completely happy with Betancurs performance. Yes, his final GC result is okayish / close to what could be expected but looking at the route he should have been quite a bit better during the first two tweeks as the best puncheur amongst the contenders & pretenders. A couple of days in the leader or closest competitor and a stage win or two would have been expected which would have pushed his points jersey chances as well. Kinda regret sending him here pointswise..
Tiesj's fantastic performance in the final week though even the lack of stage wins by Betancur. Simply amazing how lucky i was for his performance and i guess he won the points that Fatancur lost .... 
EDIT: I guess I need to recycle Alaks jersey for my dev team if he continues to perform like this
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Bertie totally owned that race, congrats to Shonak, deserved after previous disappointments. Bad luck awards goes to Marco as does the philosophical award 
Over the moon with Cav's second stage win to sneak the points jersey on the last day, that gives us a jersey from each of this years Grand Tours
Thanks Bikex for a hugely entertaining race.

Cascade Cycling Classic and Praha-Karlovy Vary-Praha posted: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1224101
Sorry for the break, I was sick last week. In the next days I have basically no time at all, so it would be great if someone else could help a little with reporting, I'll upload the stage files later.
Cascade Cycling Classic was very weird with ~70% of the top30 loosing time on the last flat stage. Also Praha with some weird AI, as ICBC, a very weak team, was the only team to chase after the later winner after he broke away. |

Pulidooo. Can't believe our biggest prospect hit the nail in such a way, what a fantastic result! <3 Too bad about the great result for Cuadros tho, losing valuable points there. La Fundacion has even more bad luck with crashes than Contador.
I'd love to do some reporting but I am at my parent's place currently and got flooded by work and uni papers despite on "holiday". I think I can relaunch my reporting tasks in March tho.
Thanks for reports bikex!

Hope you feel better!
Cascade very bad for us. Pizarro disappoiting and crashing and Gonzalez missed a stage win because we didn't chase down the breakaway. A missed opportunity to close the gap with Podravka.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Great races by Boileau in both races, though it's a shame how he got his GC in Cascade.
in other terms: Siskevicius is back with his mojo. A real star!

Breuer in Cascade was amazing, picking up a stage win and second on GC  Really happy that he's finally picked up a big result.

just thought about it: did any team manage to podium in all 3 GTs so far? did Ecopetrol once do that? |

But you already have had three riders on the podium on this year? Maybe try to win all three.

I'm kind of disappointed noone can/wants to spend a little time to help out with reporting. The game never ran smooth if I had to do this by myself.
For reporting the only thing needed is PCM15. |
