Brilliant start for us! Really nice to see that Breen is able to adapt to PCT level competition this well. Bodes well for next season should we manage to promote  Now looking forward to the sprint stages. Don't expect much from Korzh in this field, so any result would be a positive one.
Thanks for yet another report Aquarius!

I mean, it's easy to say that when it hasn't happened to you 15 times this year in your most important terrain.
You haven't seen my team performing hilly classics it seems  the exact opposite of what Juul-Jensen did last year...
I've gotten quite used to seeing my leaders fail for no reason. But here it's quite obvious why they failed, and it makes so little sense that you could put some circus music behind it an make a comedy video out of it. Perhaps if you were in a similar position, you'd understand.
Well, as said, we had that type of races last year as well. Bringing a strong no-cobbles sprinters to a cobbled stage race has turned up to be as wise as bringing Theo Bos to a Giro and wanting him to reach the goal. It can turn out to be a great idea, but that doesn't really happen very often. It's a risk-reward choice where you this time failed to cash in, but maybe you will lateron in this race.
As I've said, my team is a lost cause, so I don't care about the result. But I do care about game breaking bugs being in our races.
Hey, I'm the first to say let's go to PCM18
I'm not mad AKA abandoned at all. That's obviously on me. I'm mad the rest of my supposedly good cobbles team sat up for him for seemingly no reason, to the point that an 80+ cobbler abandoned on a cobbles stage with no crashes.

Cos it shit, but as indicated by Croatia the only option is to move to a new version, and that could prove to be tough getting enough reporters.
Don't think it will change anything to "remodel" the stages, it is an issue in the game itself, Im not even sure a move to 2018 will help, in my story you often see top riders falling out of top 15-20 without crash.

Drapac moving backwards in the sprint, Zepuntke nearly dropped. Don't make this any harder than it already is.

I'm all for PCM18 if t means Rowe stops positioning himself like a dumbass

Just as I feared, Van Asbroeck dead after yesterday and not contending in a stage that very much suited him. Not only is this bad because of the lost points, but Saber is coming dangerously close to Vanbilsen now.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Much better 2nd stage with a good stage result and Uchima taking the KOM!

Saber is on fire. Love it! Good for Philips after being a bit lower in the rankings so far and i didnt really expect him to survive stage 1 as good as he did. Certainly looks like a huge race for him by now.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

First time we've got a train all season besides the Giro and Saber capitalizes on it! Hope this is a sign for the remaining stages. Three sprinters in points scoring positions in a stage is also a first for us!
Late post on Stage 1: Per is a dream to have on the team! Already sad he'll probably he heading back permanently to Isostar next season. Saber does enough to keep himself in contention for a high finish in the GC. Couldn't have asked for anything better

Luke the Nuke hitting it hard, damn what a nice one for Xero. Very unlucky for Philips though :/

Get the HELL IN  That's the comeback Luke needed after a kick up the ass last night, absolutely love it. Great day for the Rowe family but I'm sure Matt will realise now more than ever that he's the least favourite child. Unless they have a third son who is an absolute failure with even worse acceleration than Matt locked up in the shearing shed back in Wales.
Who said Xero aren't a sprint team, that's the third of the season Some GC movement at last and a top 10 looks possible now as well as a points podium which should be assured unless he craps the bed massively.
A nice day out for Jams finding his feet at this level, and the opportunity to go hunting for further KoMs is an enticing one. An all around great day out to say the least

The leadout and the final sprint didn't quite go as smooth as the last stage but a good result nonetheless. This stage however makes it even harder for Saber to get onto the podium, unless something dramatic happens going ahead. Maintaining good positions in multiple standings is a good thing. Hope this continues
Congrats on the win Jandal!!

3 stages where my team had absolutely nothing to do, and still couldn't be bothered to go in a single fricking break.

Good to see Breen get through these three stages without any issues. Would have liked to get in the breakaway one day, but unfortunately De Bondt didn't succeed this time around.
Looking forward to tomorrows stage now! Hoping Breen can defend his 5th place :)

Point for Drapac
Hoping the cobblers can at bare minimum maintain their GC position, with Zepuntke and Moulingui podiuming the youth classification.

Atleast Hayakawa picked up for Itami and Uchima grabbed more KOM points.
