I hope better.
These past 2 weeks have been the most tiresome in my life.
Had an internship with 2 people as a mentor and with neither I had a good connection... They both have a totally different vision than myself and since they were the one judging me in the end, it took up so much of my energy.
But it ended yesterday, so now I'm recovering a bit and I hope to be back within the next couple of days just enjoying the first summer days in the sun for now! |

Thanks for a nice report Ian!
And it's nice to see that Robin also can perform in icy conditions, good race for him in the end. And I can announce that you'll finally hear something from him again! |

Back to winning ways and just at the right race. A victory of willpower for Vague.

Is it bad i've totally forgotten who everyone is, who's good, who's got form, who's targetting this race and the surrounding ones... Gotta try and find time to re-read the season so far

Thank for the report Ian, was exciting as ever

Good race from Milan on the snow, gapping Lipawsky and almost top 5 in the UCI rankings. Hopefully we can build form here!

Just found time to read this and I'm so glad to see it back
Thanks Ian, I'll probably find some time to re-read most of the season as well and jot down something in a few days time.

Thanks guys!
Christmas Classic preview probably up tomorrow. Though I'm hoping for some reaction to the race first 
@TMM: I had some trouble myself in that department As long as you remember that Goldie and Milan don't get along, you should be fine, though |

And i can remember what i was doing with my owns guys. Have caught up on the details surrounding the race now so i'm back up to speed. Will write something today i hope, or thursday.

Christmas Time!
With summer in the air in real life, it seems hard to imagine, but Christmas has arrived nonetheless.
Decided to throw some things in there that might spark up some reaction. Vague criticism, Dubois-Lipawsky rivalry and whatnot.

Lipawsky should make a post for Christmas if I have time.

Here's hoping
I also noticed that if Vague is riding (which I'm presuming?), it is his first time here ever. |

Also, this gives us a higher number of riders taking over the win from themselves previous year.
So far we've got:
Christmas Classic: Lipawsky
Lisbon: Mazzarelli
Lee Valley: Vague
Alpe d'Huez: Vague
Tekapo: Vague
Portland: Vague. |

Always great to see this race and Sylvain winning is great Proving he's better than Dubois still as well  maybe he can challenge for the record here over his career too?
Thanks for the exciting report Ian, I'll make sure to make a post from Sylvain and Chetout as well.

Great report! Average from Milan put putting himself in top 5 UCI. Now into Fuji and possibly Bauer's last stand?
Also good to see Louis and Mark 15 and 26, though when Louis was randomly mentioned as being in top 15 I thought Milan must have gone down with van Duck and was really worried

FujiCross!
Always a nice race I think. Looking forward to it.
Can Mazzarelli extend his lead in the Coke Trophy? Does he even have to? A minute on Listerijn might be enough to win this thing! |
