Reporters are always needed, even when the MG season hasn't started. If you think you are capable of reporting, do like roro and send a similar report to SN/Roturn, or post it here to get feedback.

My comment would be: Last year we switched to focusing on shorter style reports to keep the game speed up, so you could probably halve the length of that Roubaix one.

I don't know who wants a Roubaix report with 12 screens and most of the attacks and crashes omitted. I thought the length was fine for a monument.
Also in general reports are allowed to be much shorter, but that doesn't mean they are required to be.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
There's nothing wrong with a long report, but most races arn't Roubaix and don't have lots of attacks or falls or key moments. And especially in stage races it's not worth providing images or long comment on every moment. Length is good provided it doesn't harm pace of the game over the course of a season.
I like last season with it's shorter reports and high pace and i'd always vote in favor of mainting that. I just wanted to point out that the length of reports overall can be a lot shorter.
A bright sun and some gusts of wind will welcome the riders on this saturday in Plumelec. 100 riders of 14 differents teams will fight for victory on the short but hard Côte de Cadoudal, that the cyclists will have to climb 13 times today.
Vuillermoz as the top favourite, but J.Gonçalves and Vichot will probably cause him some problems.
Spoiler
The peloton took time to accept a group of riders at the front. 3 guys are allowed to go after a 30 kilometers fight :
Lastra Barbas Iturria
Just before the first climb of Cadoudal, 4 new guys join the breakaway !
Simple view on the peloton at 60 kilometers from the line, the 5 breakaway riders have a 3 minute advantage now.
We started the smaller laps now, and the break is starting to fear. There is already 7 riders dropped from the peloton, it's pacing hard back there in the pack : 19 km, 1'15''.
After pulling out a strong rhythm in Cadoudal, Steels decides to attack. Jakin and Itturia are trying to answer with some delay. Fortin and Barbas are out of discussions. 15 km, and a gap of 1 minute.
The behavior of the peloton is difficult to understand, the advantage of Steels grew back to 2 minutes with 8 kilometers to go ! Vuillermoz is forced to attack, passing next to Fortin and Barbas and aiming to catch Jakin and Itturia. Last lap !
Jakin and Itturia tried to handle Vuillermoz tempo, but it was to hard, and the jurassian is riding at high speed to come back on Steels, who is already in the last climb of Cadoudal ! And the peloton is not that far...
Vuillermoz might have worked too much, he can't pass Steels and we are at 600 meters from the finish line !
It seems that Vuillermoz had some forces left, and Steels left him the place he needed to take the lead ! 300 meters left, it's not over.
Steels resisted well...but Vuillermoz takes the win today in Plumelec ! Impressive performance from the frenchman, but Steels would have deserved this victory even more.
A.Turgis makes a very nice sprint to take the last spot on the podium, in front of J.Gonçalves and Vichot, two of the top favourites today.

PCM 15.
Damn okay maybe next season then
If the code system is still the same as in past PCMs: Maybe a manager who owns the game could send you his code for PCM15. Every reporter would be a superb addition!

Oh okay cool let's hope it's the same then! I'd really like to do some reporting
Antwerp welcomes like every year the Scheldeprijs ! For its 104th edition, the best sprinters of the world are here : Kittel, Greipel, Bouhanni and Cavendish : It will be difficult to find the winner between these and the other outsiders...
Spoiler
A very restrictive peloton doesn't allow a breakaway in the first quarter of the race ! 4 riders finally compose the front group of the day :
Davies Lietaer Leezer Gogl
A classic flat race : interesting 6'25'' gap for the breakaway, then the peloton starts to chase. But as we enter the final circuit at 40 kilometers from the finish, three cyclists decide to attack :
Petit Boonen Teklehaimanot
Only ten kilometers in chase and they're caught by the pack. But Boonen insists ! 30 km to go, and only 1 minute left for the 4 guys at the front.
Boonen is not as good as before, the peloton swallows quickly again. The efforts produced by sprinter's teammates splits the pack in two ! Only 52 riders seems to be able to fight for the win. 25 km, 45'' as Davies attacks.
Boasson Hagen, Petit, Chavanel, Menut, Morice, Sarreau, Martinez, Barbier Greipel, Sieberg, Laporte, Wallays, Frison, Naesen, Broeckx Marini, Lizde, Chirico, Rota, Boem, Simion, Marangoni Cavendish, Bystrom, Eisel, Wurtz, Debesay, R.Rensburg Bouhanni, Theuns, Soupe, Vanbilsen, Dillier Van Avermaet, Hofland, Drucker, Zabel, Howard Kittel, Veelers, Walscheid, De Backer Boonen, Slik, Van Baarle Goss, Bobridge Hansen, Bak Van Poppel Capiot Offredo Teklehaimanot
The peloton stopped pacing after Boonen was caught, so Offredo woke them up again ! 20 km to and still 45 seconds.
Offredo couldn't create a gap, he's caught just before the breakaway at 11 kilometers from the line. It's where Gogl decides to go for an other ride !
Gogl adventure is over at 7 kilometers from the finish line. We are ready for the sprint !
Impressive work from Veelers. The pack is streched ! 4 kilometers left.
Horribly done by Kittel, he's all alone at the front and the sprint has just been launched !
It's way clearer a kilometer later :
Kittel
Greipel
Hofland
Bouhanni
DVP
Cavendish
EBH
Zabel
GVA
Laporte
Marini
Capiot
Vanbilsen
Simion
Soupe
Petit
Kittel launches Greipel perfectly under the last kilometer banner !
Only 300 meters, and Greipel is still leading. Will Bouhanni and Hofland be able to pass him ?
And it's a win for Greipel ! He was just too strong today in Schoten. Surprising Hofland takes the second place, and Bouhanni finishes in third position.
It's a good report. My only remark would be that there's a quite a gap from 4 to 1 kilometer. Some more info on how Kittel got all alone in front etc. would make it a bit clearer.
But for the rest I'd say it's an excellent report!
