Yes indeed, the important Copenhagen race is still missing! I wonder how my 5 riders did.
Congrats to Herklotz and once more Berhane winning the queen stage in the Criterium International, just like he did in P-N. Fuglsang an excellent runner-up. From the looks of it another stage without any of my riders in the breakaway, I wouldn't mind seeing one of my climbers compete for the KoM competition.

YES! Brilliant to hang on to the winner and Fuglsang, and the good TT was the foundation to ensure that suffices.
The team behind Herklotz didn't add any points, but it's about 200 points from three race days either way.

So I'm just curious at which value have we actually set the crash ratio?
Don't think we ever really discussed that but it's the standard 100% in my game.
Ah ok, thanks for the clarification.
But wow what a massively disappointing result in the Criterium International. 20th in the mountain stage and subsequently 19th in the gc is just extremely poor from Caruso. Congrats to Herklotz and Bosch and thanks for the reports Abhishek.

Waste of race days for Guardini once again...
He has been a bust for me so far, mostly because of crashes and bad management on my end

Criterium International, well I can't complain with a stage win and Teams classification. I did hope for a bit more in the mountains.. Slight feel Jeanesson and Kozhatayev waited for Martin.
But of Course Herklotz was always a Man to beat today, congratz

Sagans on fire now
Crit Int was nice as well; both Locatelli and Machado in their one leading opportunity with a top 15 result

Cobbled AI is just horrible lately. Together with the Milan - San Remo result this is a bad month for us, even if it started well. Let me be the first to congratulate Peter Sagan on winning the World Cup this year.

APPO AGAIN wow him and Siskevicius really turning up this month - we need all the points we can get to be honest so this is another great result!

Very happy to get the win at Crit International with Berhane and such a shame he could take the GC as well. Happy with a podium to keep the points coming in

MSR disappointing, none of our hill sprinters had anything left, was leaving out Cav a good move?
Cav saved his legs for GV making a welcome 4th place after a few lean races, shame he couldn't do it last year when I picked this as a goal race, oh well.

Nicely played by my guys. Geissler attacking and Willwohl waiting for the sprint finish is a nearly perfect tactic and gives us a nice result. Well done

Shame it wasn't that selective, 6th isn't bad though :/

14 points in Copenhagen is good. A rather weird result indeed though.

Berhane is starting to scare me. He beat Fuglsang and Herklotz twice on queen stages in P-N and Crit Int and now he's even on the podium in mass sprints.

Poor result as expected in Copenhagen.
The start to South Africa was good. Ponzi not doing that well on the first 3 stages but Koch's win made up for that. Cattaneo also still on the same time and hopefully we can finally start appearing in breakaways more often.
Thanks for the reports Croatia and Shonak!

The weird and wonderful cobbles and dirt roads combination of Wallonie Prijs is up: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1280746
