This time every year I hate not having 1 rider from each nation :-p
Bring on races with my riders!
(Congrats to the winners btw)

Splitting up teams into multiple probably would have been a good idea for me, rather than just 2 teams. But too late now!
This. For some reason i though i can only split it into two teams and not more, but that does not matter much.
None of my riders took place in recent NCs, so i will just congratulate to all the winners, good to see some dedicated teams winning in respective countries.
Schleck the cobbler.

Andy Schleck winnning on cobbles. Can happen only in MG.
The question is if the second rider from Lux Champs should not have the right to wear the jersey though as Schleck already has a speacial jersey to wear the next year.
There's already a precedent for it. Last year Max Richeze won the Argentina NC, but already was the B World Champ, so the runner-up Mauro Richeze got to wear the jersey this season. Have in the past taken World Champions out of their NC, but that wasn't practical this year as many NCs were already ready before the Worlds.
Likewise, whoever is 2nd in the Moldovan TT will get to wear the NC jersey this year.
It will be fun to see the chrono rainbow jersey in two-three stages in 2016.

Shame about Greece, had hoped Polychronis would join the break, but he didn't.

Good to see that the NC's have had alright gameplay so far. Big gaps expected in the smaller ones but we shall wait till the big nations for the real test.

Great win from Chaabane to retain his title in the RR. If we weren't promoting I'd definitely retain him but I'm not quite sure he's a PT level rider. Anyway, I'm sure he'll find a good home in the lower divisions with his colourful NC jersey.
1/1 so far. Let's hope the success continues. |

Nice to see that I have a NC already, Woods making a clean sweep of Canada would've been fun but theres still more to come I hope

First non home team win in the RR, but a Portgese team took the TT Congrats Mre and Gustavosky.
We've still got a 100% win rate (0/0)

As said in the report. Luckily the Portuguese jersey will be in a Portuguese team next year as he is just loaned out to Movistar.
But weird tactic there by Prio and I guess a bigger team size had worked for them. 2 teams of 9 instead of 4 teams of 4-5. |

Any win in our jersey is a cool moment! So congrats to Paulinho on an excellent season with us, he was a good asset to have. Would love to see him back next season with us but for now we have to let him and his new NC jersey head back home.

Well, the max team size is 8 But yes, looks like a chase could actually have happened there with sufficient firepower

I suspect I could feature 20 teams of one rider and still lose the damned race. I've tried everything: 1 team, 2 teams, 3 teams... but nothing works. The only thing left for me to try is to sacrifice a baby horse-sheep in Mount Etna at midnight on Christmas Day
Anyway congrats to today's winners, especially fintas/Mre for the Holy Grail of my Man-Game existence. Thanks as well for the lively report roturn! One that easily stands out!

Great work from Oscar Solis, taking us up to three NCs with Irakli Bablidze taking the dual Georgian titles.
Can't wait for the Netherlands championship. I shouldn't get my hopes up, but I can't help but feel that the flat course makes Theo Bos' chances a certainty, and that hell win the national title. Again.
