Yeah, the idea would be to hav edifferent teams like P:A - Rwanda, P:A Uganda and P:A - Burundi for example. That way teams will still have seperate leaders. But I can see how much work this will create.
And then you quickly get to the limit of 24 teams, with a field that is still quite small, and still has little power to chase the breakaway - if AI even allowed the chase to happen. Plus it's no fun when a breakaway features 1 rider from a country, and wins, because that's it, titles decided. At least here we do have some fight for the win each time.

Great win from Essa Khalifa. That just might get him a new contract. Especially nice with a Head-to-head making it an actual fight to the line
Thanks for the report. Nice to get to see the NC jersey a bit more

Not too worried about South Africa, but a shame Uwizeyimana couldn't win in Rwanda. He had a decent chance in both races I think.
Anyway, hope Kenya comes soon. As long as we get that one and Ethiopia I think I'll be happy. |

Pretty awesome win for Flens in his last ever race at his full ability level and a cool way to sign off going into next year |

Can there please be a big Spanish PT team in future?
4 big leaders and 4 no teams behind them. Awful scenario.
Euskaltel not enough of a leader to chase. |

Well, that was extremely disappointing...
Would have loved to see Fraile win the ITT there.

Damn, so close but no cigar. Ablenado NC would've been epic.
Happy with the tactics though, sending two strong guys in the break, great!
The race panned out kinda as expected. So dont think I could've done anything else with the team selection.
The spanish TT will be tough to win with Fraile around from next year and Tenorio assumingly back with an active team, kinda lucky win for Inxtausi here.

Would have been cool if LLS would have crowned the season but with no team mates for any leader this was to be expected. But with him likely leaving this might only have raised his sale value though.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

Nice. Finally a NC result I'm happy with. Kolahdouz (or Kolahdozhagh which his real name is) doing pretty well in several games for me atm. Great to see him wear the Iranian NC jersey also in the ManGame next year. Poorseyedi winning the TT makes this a perfect day for Siam Cement. Suck it Compal.
The Iranian Championships was a COMPLETE joke, I would be ashamed if I won the title in the same manner
However, the Kazakh championship was a dream to watch unfold

Not sure if ONCE is really happy with the Slovenian NC.
Both jerseys for Gazelle. |

When Bole entered the break in Slovenian NC, I got my hopes up for a second.. sad he couldn't get himself that jersey.

Had higher hopes in Slovenia than that. Whats korens TT stat btw? Expected brajko to win there.
With 3 riders I feel like we could atleast send 1 guy with the break.
