Quite happy that the final PCT race did not end in a breakaway. Still not the very best AI.
In the end all riders must have been totally exhausted on that course as they just couldn`t sprint. First 1km sprint, then 1km just riding this speed it felt.
So Di Maggio ends a great season in style. Bobridge once more proves to be one of the best this year while Monfort and Betancurt take the momentum.
Feel really sorry for Meiji. They were clearly the strongest but could not get a result in the end despite 4 riders in that front group.
And last but not least, good to see the microjerseys working again. Much better than using the fixed report without.

Alakagom will be disappointed with Froome today 
A nice read, roturn! Fantastic attack by Di Maggio, holding off those behind him on the line! |

Great win form Di Maggio, but perhaps so, even a better result as 2nd from Bobridge is huge!
Looking forward to seeing some of you active guys in the PT next season

Wonder where Bobridge ends up in the individual rankings now with two podiums in Asia. Great result of course!
Thanks for the report and again congrats on a Maggio win

Wow! what a performance by the team Lane, Houle all excellent Bellis on a course probably too short puts in a big performance as well really happy with that from the team as the last race of the season hopefully we can carry that into next year. |

Gautier again quietly consistent - hopefully he should Top 20 the rankings to prove Count Arach wrong, but it'll be tough 
Managed to somehow outscore Meiji as well, despite them having 4 riders in the front group. That gives us 9th in the rankings, so 2/5 on goals with 2 decent attempts is always good. Commiserations TMM, thanks Roturn and roll on 2015!

Most of the time Ulissi is the favorite, he ends up losing to either Di Maggio or a breakaway . I'll be content if we get a nice race to close of the season and Ulissi gets a top 5.
How am i not surprised. Ow well, we're back to PT and completed 4/5 goals this season, so that's all that matters .
Thanks for the report roturn!

What a way to end the season!  Didn't look like the gap was big enough, but lucikly there was not much power left in the chasing group. Feels good to end the season on a high and secure the 4th place in the rankings.
Thanks for the report, Roturn!

Another great performance by the amazingly consistent Monfort! Will definitely be looking to keep him with the team.

Typically subdued performance from Dowsett, but even if he is never close to winning, at least he is picking up regular points. Pity that it didnt work out for Meiji after all that work.
Di Maggio wins again. Very succesful on such a cheap wage, definitely a bug in the renewals system that!

Or rather a bug in PCM, because apparently secondary stats mean jack all.
But I guess you could indeed accommodate for that by adjusting the AVG and wage algorithms to make the primary stat more important.

That went about as good as expected.
Happy for the season to be over now. The last races has been with no real impact from our team.

Expected at least a few points here. Ben Nasser burnt himself out with that early attack it seems. There wasn't a Boeing 1-2-3 though and we've secured survival so I'm happy enough. |

9th is acceptable out of that group, even though it looked like there might be a bit more in this in some of the sprint screenshots.
Good and important minor points by Felline and Herklotz in the lower Top 20 (especially considering that was a 100+ rider group) and luckily for our rankings Amex and Repsol missed the decisive move.
And to add to that decent result, our top 3 riders here will all gain a level next year.
Thanks roturn for this great report to end the season!

11th is actually slightly better than expected. Proud of Zeits this season, our best performer it seems like. Thanks for the report! |

Not the best end to the season for both Metinvest and PCM AI, but glad that it is over. We missed our goal here, but that was blind shot before transfers, Rabon was damn far today.
Thanks Roturn and congrats to the winner!

God damn it. Strongest team and nothing to show for it. With Zaini and Efimkin and the strength our team showed, we really should have come away with a Top 5. Lets hope there is a nice nationality bonus for Kinoshita next year...
