Pretty ironic to see Dell take both USA champs after the season they have had. There are going to be a flood of Americans hitting the market, with plenty of interest!
Looking forward to the Spanish champs, a win for Txurruka at long long last? I wouldn't bet on it!  |

For the Spanish Nationals I hope LLS sets a nice mid stage attack.
Gomez Marchante obviously would be cool to see as winner but he is definitely leaving. So not too sure about him. |

Pity that Edmondson didn`t join the break.
For tsmoha I feel a bit sorry. Would have loved to see them winning the RR.
Rogers in hte ITT is interesting now if he keeps him or not. |

Damn Lloyd came closer than i expected to the Aus title! Had hoped Ewan would be in the break instead but 3rd for Matty is great way to cap his excellent season.
Congrats to Aker for stealing it away from Oz, who've had far too many good results so didn't desverve this one

Aargh, why kept Rogers delivering here?
Well well... he's still on our "targets" list for next year, but I doubt I will keep him through the renewals. Ford would have been much cooler for this TT: damn you, Selwink!
Pity with the RR, yap. Rogers would have been too funny, since Durbridge looked to weak. Kinda cool group with also Lloyd there, though. A shame Gossy hasn't been here, pretty sure we would have seen a good chance for the bunch to keep the sh**t together

Poor tsmoha. Now has to keep Rogers and will be without the RR jersey. |

Lane capping a good season by being the in break actually thought he might win it one point but not to be surprised how well we've done so far with double Canadian champs then Lane and Warbesse both getting in the break. |

Big congratulations to tastasol for the aussie RR win!
Obviously cool to see Howson get it for Risa-Ergon in the colours of Aker-MOT. Kind of funny to see him win a RR, as he looks to be a pretty one dimensional rider for the future, but nice to see him prove that wrong! |

First picture of a Live Nation rider celebrating all year 
Happy that the road race went to someone wearing the jersey and also happy that I won't have to weight out whether I want the champions jersey on the team or he should be loaned out.
My nightmare scenario was Veikkanen winning, but good to see him take 2nd in what is likely the last race in his career. Pökälä was the right winner of the TT and will do the jersey honour after the development he had this year. Again thanks to Aker-MOT for taking good care of him.
He should dominate Finnish ITT-championships for years to come...
Thanks for the report. Much appreciated!

Wow, that was a huge surprise. Might have to keep him in the squad now (loan or not).

And congratulations to Atlantius for the double in Finland. Once again nice to see a rider we've had on loan in our team prove himself and take the jersey for his owner.
Now let's just hope one of our own riders can be successful in the Norwegian RR. |

So close, Stoltz, so close 
He might be a powerhouse but his sprint is aweful and that was seen here again.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Well I knew the road race would be bad, and so it was. No Vesuvio rider in the break is disappointing though, given that has what happened in most other races.
Shit rider wins the Luxembourg stripes for the 2nd year running, and this time it wasn't one of mine.
At least there was the TT .. but Im fed up of TT consolation wins this year.

As i suspected Boeing are the number one team in Luxembourg, perhaps TMM will be kind and loan out some of his superstars to feeder team Vesuvio.

Nice to see Contador in the Spanish national jersey in his last season as a real Vuelta podium contender.
