Some good racing there, looks like the bigger fields won't be all breakaway wins. Congrats to jph, a nice win there for Gautier which keeps his title with a part French team. |

Great racing both in Belgium and France, especially in Belgium, I think. Truly enjoyed those reports.
For Levarlet it was always going to be hard with only Sibilla as "support", but he tried his best, and 4th is decent 
And also, Vanoverschelde suddenly knew how to sprint again  |

Nothing for me so far. Didn't have too much expectations though, except maybe the Colombian Road Race.
I guess I'll just stick to Romania and the Netherlands, as usual

Good solid racing from us in the Belgian champs, and the expected win in the TT. Top 4 is nice to see as well
Now to read all the others. Thanks for the huge number of reports guys. You are all doing a great job.

Gautier! 
So I'm guaranteed to have 3/4 possible NCs with my France and Sri Lanka only focus next season. That's a pretty nice situation to be in |

Sooooo surprising that Beltran took the title there.  
I didn't know Matt even was in the DB....
Good thing Baugnies didn't take the Belgian nats. Too much QS success already.
And finally the predictable French races, congratulations to La Vie Claire there!
Enjoy the last couple of years until Demare dominates this one.

bit dissapointed with our results in the French NC, with only one rider finishing in the top 15 in either race, dispite our full team. hopefully the american NC will be a bit better |

Cool to see Abraha in the breakaway, but probably the NC that hurts the least to not win
Very happy for Aidan to get it instead!

Great job by Danny T in the time trial. Just unlucky that with 7/12 riders across 4 teams, I only ended up with 1/4 in the break.

Yay! I was disappointed not to have won the TT, because I didn't expect the road race. To be honest, Berhane would've been the "worthy" winner, but Kiflay has done us proud in breaks this entire year on so many occasions. He probably won't be riding for us next year unfortunately, as I plan on loaning him for XP gain. Maybe Eritel can have the Eritrean NC in their team next year (although I don't think the XP gain will be possible).
That's the 2nd year in a row I've taken it from SN - sorry about that Now I better not have SN's luck in the SA NC.

Yeah SN a bit unlucky with the breakaway formula - of course Berhane you could have ruled out immediately as he was a favourite.
I dunno once you get the idea out of your head that the favourite is not going to win it is quite interesting seeing the breakaways battle. Nice to that only active teams get the wins. Project: Africa having a national jersey is nice of course!

Quite a pity for SN to miss his home NC.
That said, it`s nice that instead it`s aidan then getting it for Africa.
Seeing that Japan odds are closed I am looking forward to it. May end as win all or win nothing for me there. (Sorry Valv )

We raced
Too bad Räim couldn't get better than third, but I didn't expect him anyway. Will go all-out for his sprint anyway.

Good performances from Keukeleire, Koretzky and Pichon... Two bronze medals from not fully developped riders is very nice. One of them even to a level 3 rider.

At least one (obvious) goal for me. Other than that, i won't cry you a river if we suck in those few NCs we are in
Nice list, keep it up!
