Thanks for your responses. You bring up some very valid points. The CX world is something magical and I have decided to give CX all my possible time, instead of dividing it over multiple games. So no Road version of the game, but a re-launch of CX:AND.
Rio has arrived. It's been a pain in the ass to write. A bland profile + so long ago I've lost touch a bit, but made it through and we're back  again. |

 Thanks Ian, Quite a good report especially given the points you brought up.
Sylvain having a terrible start puts a damper on his Coca-Cola chances but he rode a good race aside from the and his main goal is the world cup, so that's alright.

*fanboys that it's actuall here*
*tenderly clicks the link with baited breath*
*Feels his heart beat faster with every lap*
*Exteberdea and Gormley can wipe my shiny metal ass*
*go, boy, go*
*the dreams of an awesome 1-2 with Milan's good friend slips away*
*Harder Milan, almost there*
*He's gonna come back and completely Dao them in the sprint, right?*
*Right Ian?*
*right?*
*cries*
*Screams at how to relatively inactive riders won*
*looks at the overall*
*peaks up a bit*
*realises it's back and it's brilliant*
*peaks up a lot*
YAAAAAAAAAY
EDIT:
*oh no you didnt*
*you want activity?*
*you will get activity*
*Ian Butler you are amazing*
*Doing something not surprising at all when you think about it and making it a suprise*
*prepares for the zabels*
EDIT 2:
Woah, Mark came how high? Guess that makes up for him being called Mark D in the overall, he's not some kindergarten kid with a namesake in the room so he has the first letter of his last name as well

Fantastic to see this back, was really missing something enjoyable to read over the last few weeks. Better result than expected for Matt in such a sand-heavy race and especially wow Paddy O'Gormley is back, didn't see that coming.
Great read Ian, thanks for it.

Was considering a mature handling of the situation dig but goddamn, great pieces  and 3 days indeed, I look forward to calmly watching this play out.
Or getting Lachy to do what he does best, overreact

Apparently there are only three races since Lancaster Season 2 where Milan and Sylvain have over a 1 minute gap between them
But Sylvain still has the highest

Cheers guys. Good to be back Now I hope more permanently than last time. Though have another tough few weeks coming up in April, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it 
For now, I've got one more busy week, but March should see an increase in pace again!
And so we're getting ready for Struisbaai, trying to keep the pride of African CX high, after Port Elisabeth was canceled. |

Is Young starting in Struisbaai or waiting for the cross to hit the European continent? Is he making the trip to Africa for one race? |

No he's making his debut in Lisbon, that was always the plan. Made more sense to have him begin in Europe then stay based there rather than have to hope around the Globe any more than nessesary.
Plus i still to introduce him

It's back 
Will be hard to write something for Huser and Brüggemann, so long ago since I wrote something. But great result of robin, even although Brüggemann failed as a team mate |

That was actually a very exciting report Ian, thanks
The rain really helped Sylvain, unfortunately all his attacks didn't get him away but he managed to outlast everyone else on Vague's wheel for third.
And cool to see Van Dyck winning.

Wow, that was a good joke, now let's do the real Struisbaai, Ian.

Well well, good race by Vague by grabbing that second place, I sorta knew in second lap that Van Dyck would probably stay away - Randstad needed that one. Fight for the trophy remains close as ever between him and Mazzarelli. Good to have put additional time into Listerijn at least, whilst Schiltz is back in shape by now.

M4tt 
Thanks for the report Ian, losing a bit of terrain but that's to be expected seeing how varied Struubai's terrain is Cool winner as well. Few time to write stuff lately as the EP is so freaking close to the release but will do something very soon.
