Sure that stage wasn't fully mountain rated? 
Nice to see San Marino going to the big stage now.

It's just unfair to race against Pluchkin. He makes it look so easy 
Siskevicius with a great result and he nearly got the ticket to the Europe A Race. No shame to lose a sprint against Vastaranta though.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Hmm, really did not think Pluchkin would crush the race by such a big gap! Maybe MGUCI personnel did some mistake by not allowing Moldova to race straight the A race there.
Anyway nice to see San Marino getting the ticket. Nice to see Khripta getting another oppurtunity to ride a race this season in A race too. Great to see so many new jerseys in-game as well. Oh and Albanian cycling still sucks, it will be great if I am able to bring them at least some improvement in the coming years.

Very nice first race here. Could spot some of my former riders, but they were chanceless of course. 
Great read!  |

I think Pluchkin is just a different class of rider to those behind him - still it is startling to see such a gap in a hilly race, if it was mountain rated in any way then easier to explain!
Ukraine having a really strong race and nice to see with two great teams in the last couple of years supporting that nation. Too bad Putin's backhanders have kept them out of the elite

Nice to see Vastaranta get a stong start to the season carrying Finland to the A race.

That Pluchkin gap 
Get used to that, PT managers for 2015.
Absolutely crushing win from Pluchkin in this competition and 2nd place for Ukraine caps it as fantastic result in my eyes.
Shaame that Romania missed it.
Great idea and organisation Roman and thanks for the report Roturn, i quite liked it. Looking forward to another races.
Fun fact: 6 Metinvest riders in top30 of European B race.

That's just insane...
But a great ride for Prevar and the team, Getting to ride the A race is a great accomplishment, and I hope someone like Topchanyuk or Khripta will feature in the break
My talents already showing themselves, love Prevar and Topchanyuk

lol Pluchkin. Like he doesn't even need to try.

Topchanyuk was a great support.
He was the main reason why the peloton got destroyed in several pieces with ~40km to go. Unfortunately for you that Prevar had one rider too strong for him. |

That stage seemed much tougher than I had expected. If most of the tough hilly races will favour climbers like that I could well be in for a nice season with Spilak and Ricco my main hilly riders
Not much to see here from us, with Kastrantas being our only rider capable of doing anything at all.
Thumbs up for these races btw.

That went as expected...
Pluchkin, not unsurprisingly, a beast here. Should be good in the A-race as well I think.

Very disappointing race by Craven. Does he just have a bad day, or does he lack the amount of Stamina or Resistance needed for that distance?
Seems like you're doing a shitload of work these days roturn, fantastic and thank you for both reports and previews! |

Previews have been finished for a week at least now more or less. And those champs are also stored for a couple of days now. So it`s only posting at the moment.
Not sure about Craven. I guess daily form in ITT`s has still a huge impact. |

Great stuff by Teklehaimanot, almost a surprise win. Also great to see Hussein riding strong, he will be a key TTT component for Vesuvio this season.
Solid enough for Madani and Kiflay too - about where expected for them.

I'm pretty sure Craven's daily form was his downfall. It has a massive impact on PCM time trials (kind of realistic if you ask me). That's what I hope at least.
No suprised that JvR won, but I got really nervous there for a moment. Nice riding by Danny T! Thomson looking strong as well. Happy to now have Thomson as SA champ and JvR as African champ!

Yeah, noticed that as first thing and it is absolutely terrible. One more year with unpredictable time trialing (apart from fact that it will be won by Oz in the end,no matter what TT it is). 
Congrats Aidan!

nice initiative! Pluchkin won that B race at a canter, at least Tvetcov finished in the top 10 but shame he didn't manage to get in the A race, looking forward to the other races now!

I had some hopes for the European B Race. I thought Navardauskas would be able to do something, but it looks like I was wrong. Hopefully, he will do much better once the real season starts.
