No success in New Zealand, as expected. Will be hard to do big things in Norway, Denmark, Australia and Sweden, but hope I can make an upset for ember and tsmoha...

It's not like you have anything close to the majority of Frenchmen, which was more my point. And I know it hasnt been universal - but for the recent few races at least. Aren't you Sri Lankan anyway?
@TMM, When you have the whole field it doesnt count

My first actual accomplishment as a team!
Very happy with the victories. Nice to at least take my home races! Kind of wish someone other than Ebsen had won it, but I won't complain!

Nah, curse still applies in Ukraine - the team with the most Ukrainians didnt win!

RBC did the job in Canada, doing the double as a Canadian team with the majority of riders

Yeah, forgot it since it was a total disaster...
Congratz on a great NC in Denmark 
As for me, had hoped for a podium, so a pity that Sterobo just missed out.

Completely ridiculous with such a small break in Denmark 
Congratulations to Carlsberg though. Now please soon Finland so I can get a bit of cheering up...

At least the "right" team won the double in Sweden
Close but not cigar in Denmark with 2nd place in both RR and TT but congrats to Carlsberg! |

Fair enough. And Sri Lanka only has 3 riders, I need a second focus
Plus next season I plan on having 18 Frenchmen. You've all been warned |

Spoiler Thought I'd commented at the time, but seem to have imagined rather than actually done so, so ...
Even although falling short of victory, Nutresa were impressed by the showings of two of our riders in the Ukranian and Portuguese nationals respectively earlier this week. Maksym Averin emerged with a bronze medal in the RR - would have been interesting to see how he would have fared on a flat parcours. He then backed up with a solid 10th in the TT. Cesar Andre Fonte was similarly active, securing 11th in the RR, and 6th in the TT (only PT level riders ahead).
Still a few more NC's to go for our multi-national line-up, including Russian, Spain, Poland and Japan.
Continued thanks to the reporters, and commiserations to those who should be in a dominant position in terms of rider numbers or strength and are then being shafted by PCM AI. There has been some good racing though inbetween some travesties, and is nice to see the jerseys being spread around the teams and across the divisions.

Strange AI in the Netherlands with the favorite actually winning . Also nice to see former Bacardi rider Keizer winning the TT.
