Pretty much as expected in the time trial. Had hoped to see Debesay pass Harrison for 3rd, but was just 2 seconds short. Pity that Okbamariam was also only a handful of seconds off better places, but he does only have 59 TT, so not a surprise. Both exceeded my expectations for the race, so I'm very happy.
This wasnt originally in ky calendar, but Im glad I made the sensible choice to drop La Tropicale despite it being African - as clashes meant no good team there - and come here instead.
Thanks for the reports Abhishek - always made harder when the AI is playing up.

I'm sorry, but this race just goes beyond any of my understandings. At least we defended the double lanterne rouge, thank fuck that was the best achievement of this race.
Thank you for the outstanding reports though! There is no doubt about the reporter of the year this season.

It was refreshing to see a rider from my teams in Top 10 in any stage. And it's on a race that was "a processional" one for us.

Dominant stage win for Paillot! Glad to see us with five guys in the top 25, with two of them being 2.xx riders.
Wisniowski truly saving this race for us with the second place in GC. Not really a great performance from our team on the first three stages, so have to be satisfied with getting 2nd in the end. A failed win goal, but at least it was close.
Rowe with a somewhat poor race again (poor first stage more precisely). A few points, but he has been underperforming a bit so far this season. Need him to step it up a notch.
Coming away with 100 points and Wisniowski breaking 300 is quite decent, but could have been much more as well. Won't find a race so good for Wisniowski for the rest of the season (all though he is looking forward to that prologue in Baltic  )
Thanks for all the reports, Abhishek. Quality as always 
Surely a great win for Goldcorp and a huge haul of points to take back to the CT. Congrats whitejersey!

Well a pretty horrible C1 outing for us, but at least we had some great reports to read, thanks Abhishek! Congrats to our CT competitors Goldcorp as well, big big victory for them.

Despite our cobblestone outfit being the most passive squad ever we got some points from here. Nice to see our former rider Matthews in the top five 
Thanks AbhishekLFC for the reports and congrats whitejersey!

Great finish to the race. Really happy to see Paillot take the win as well as Manninen doing a good job - bodes well for my future plans for him.
Thanks for some good report!

Managed to sneak away with 16th GC here so that should be a decent amount of points to take back to CT with me.
Seeing my loaned out rider Bohli 5th on the youth standings aswell is a nice sign of things to come for him, hopefully when he is maxed he can help our fledgling cobbled setup take the next step.

Funny how PCM AI played out the TT to perfection and messed up everything else
Thanks for the nice words regarding the reports. Congrats whitejersey and Goldcorp on the win . Results here make our life in the CT even harder!

Well this sucks, I have to say this is the most disappointing PCM performance I've had in 4 years of the Man Game. Give Vanbilsen his gaps on stages 1 and 2 and we're close to if not on the podium. Let the AI chase the breaks and Van Asbroeck has a stage win and probably the points jersey. We always loved this race, but this is very frustrating.
That being said, I thank Abhi for the reports and congratulate Whitey for his big win,you should be back in the fight for promotion now!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Forgot to comment on this after the timetrial. Super happy that Lebris brought it home. And to everyone who talking about promotion, calm down a bit, the rest of the team is nowhere near promotion worthy

Daniel should be much better in this kind of race, I don't understand why he fails to finish with the other cobblers in the in the end not so selective stage 1. Oba continuously collecting small points, is nice to see. Confirms to me I made the right decision when re-signing him.
Frustrating a break rider takes away the win here, but at least no other PCT team.
Congrats whitejersey! |
