Perhaps. But with a broken leg I can't see a comeback this season either 
Welling got hurt during Torku. Exactly one month later is Ardennes Cross. (on a Wednesday) That Sunday the season ends, so it's under 5 weeks. |

This has happened many times before, only I didn't say it here.
Tactics are of a small impact mostly, since I know what most riders do in their race anyway.
Role-playing posts make an impact on a longer term.
In several cases I've already changed my pre-set result because of an important role-playing post or pm (eg someone not riding after all). Other times I didn't. Because it's a pain in the ass to do so.
I've already set the result to keep up the pace. Since I (almost) never set the result and write the report on the same day since setting the result can take up to 15 minutes or sometimes half an hour and tires me out mentally  the race reports usually take up 1h - 1,5h to sometimes 2 hours. So I like to have a bit of time between them otherwise I might just spend 2hours and a half on CX:AND and that's too much even for me |

Just came by to say that Huser won't ride Hagfors and Trondheim. After the post above I hope it's not too late.  |

Unfortunately it is... Send me a pm if that brings any trouble or so, we might work it out. |

Mhm he is in perfect shape, a great victory for Francis. Good set up for Trondheim.

Consistency shoeing for Milan now, but not enough strength to beat monster Vague. I'll get both brothers at least an update thus weekend, maybe Mark, possibly Lachy. Great report!

This route could be a chance for Pierre to pull a decent result maybe?
Just hoping for some exciting racing, maybe Milan or someone can step up to Vague?

Sorry about the lack of updates.
I had expected to have lots of free time in July but instead I've been working 5 days on 7 to get some money because I won't be earning any in the next few months. Also the subject of my thesis has just been approved so I've already started some work on that.
So instead of having a lot of time, I haven't had any at all 
I hope to find time to do the report soon but it's getting harder and harder to carry this game alone.
Hope the future will bring a solution
EDIT: (extra thought) after all this time, it's getting harder and harder to find the proper time (and motivation/energy to write hour-reports) to do this on a regular basis. Especially with many of the members less and less active as well. I think I need a fresh start of some sort. Maybe a change, permanent or for a while...
Open to suggestions. Not ready to give up this game, though. |

intrigued by the new developments, time sounds ripe for hoyle to go for a new African project perhaps?
also, YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY it's back with a nice report, cheers Ian 
Milan with an OK performance, Mark and Louis 15th and 16th respectively very nice.

Thanks jandal.
Keep your eyes open today. Much will happen today. Have some things planned and the first thing is to get to the World Championships quickly. Then get to the end of the season at a fast pace, with trimmed reports but hopefully still quality enough! I need to get this season out of my system |

Mixed feelings on losing second place by a second with no control, but fair call and a nice idea  Louis with some good team performances and a nice 11th.

nice shorter report in Ostrava, Milan best of the rest after a great team performance from him and Guido. Worlds co-operation shouldn't be a problem.... on paper. And damn it, knew he should have gone for SP Louis beginning an unhealthy obsession with 11th and 16th, he must hate good milestones. Surely with him cracking top 30 overall and his recent form in support of La Vague he must be the fifth man in Chicago?
Some good consistency finally showing for Milan ahead of his 20th birthday though - 2 days before worlds
