WOW! Amazing how the race is going. I think Nerz has it in the pocket, but Kozhatayev has a safe 2nd, Jeanesson has a good chance of a Top5 and Ilias has a very good chance to get the U25 classification and Top10, with Krizek also there outside the Top10.
Only downside was Oliveira didnt Top3 in the TT but with so many positives I don't even think of him.
Congratz to all the winners!

Also impressive stuff by Ji Min Jung. Does a high FTR make a difference? His other stats are nothing to shout about, SPR 69, ACC 68.

I have no idea, the sprint was just very strange. Jung started his sprint with 1.5km left and got himself a gap of 200 metres before the others started sprinting and just hung on until the line. I think most of the times a rider like Jung wouldn't even have contested a sprint in such a field. Just a little gutted for Sabatini as that was the closest he came to a win for me ever and probably will anytime soon. He overtook Jung just behind the line.
Last stage also up now: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1278502 |

Damn, my Dev team is struggling this year. Losing 5 riders due to average hit them hard.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Sorry, mate. But it's always nice to see an unusual winner.
Congrats to Djordje96 and Yellow Jersey, taking the top 4 spots. And indeed, what a performance by Genis Martinez with his AVG 71.8.

Positive start to cycling life for Cool Runnings. Brenes started consistently in Indonesia keeping himself in contention through the opening days and ITT. Dominique Mayho grabs our first victory with a brilliant breakaway ride, a legendary moment for the team. Then a major implosion from Brenes on the final day dropped him outside the Top10 but still a nice opening showing for him and the team. Really cool stuff from the underdog team

Very proud. Two places in the Top3 was beyond my targets. Also Stelios and Krizek with a very strong race. A stage win and teams classification too, awesome!
Congratz also too to djordje and bikex for the reports

Our first ever race and we start with a fine 9th place by Schorn. Shame though that Valgren lost some time. Congrats to Nightrider and Bakelandts! Impressive work by Pedal Africa, they might be disappointed by Ciolek only ending 7th but they are in GC contention with plenty of riders.

Stage 2 of Tropicale is posted, others will come later today & tomorrow.
Another thing: Would there be interest in something like text based live coverage of a race at some sort of chat?

Schorn 4th on stage 2, nicely done. McCluskey lost 10 minutes, I wonder if he worked hard to bring the breakaway back.
Live coverage of ICL races? Sounds awesome, but I don't think I'd find the time. Would love to read a chat protocol afterwards, though.

As long as it doesn't reduce the speed of coverage, it's fine by me. I don't really need it though, tbh.
