Kumara wasn't the worst Sri Lankan in either discipline we will take this as a win!

Bridges doing a good job, winning the NC is the only way he can even be considered for a contract. Gayral's time will come for the RR. Although both would like to lodge a note that Antigua isn't in Asia.

My raft of island cyclists are just here to make life awkward for everyone. Keep up the good work with the reporting, it was still fun to read.

Sadly it looks like AI is not handling the racing in these newer versions as well as in the old PCM15. Still a massive improvement over the breakaway lottery which we had before but it looks like profiles may need some improvement next year:
1. mountain course may need a bigger selection with how MO/HIL attributes work now
2. flat course may be too breakaway friendly
3. hilly course may need more actual hills
Looking at the results of my team: we are terrible.

I'm obviously not happy with the result in Switzerland, but it had to be expected. In a cobbled race the title was gifted to Spengler anyway (surprised to see Page very competitive, though), and Schmid taking 4th actually is a good result.
Dillier also deserves one more TT title, but with him starting to decline and Bissegger maxing, we should have a good fight next year, and then Bissegger will hopefully dominate for years to come 
Congrats to Bushwackers on the double!
Stepniak had a disappointing result in Poland, where we clearly suffered from the fact that he was the only sprinter having "pro" team mates. That's just plain stupid PCM, but alas. I said before I'd prefer a non-declining rider to take the title, so I'm absolutely fine with the outcome - although I'd have hoped for a podium by Stepniak.
But our highest chances were in the ITT anyway, where we had two favorites - and I definitely do love the 1-2 there And as it was said:
He definitely did a great job, although I was obviously rather expecting Rekita to take it. But as stated in the report, there were some heavy winds - these make the TTs even way more random that they are anyway, so I was lucky to have an early starter. Marchewka happened to be the luckier of the two, but I'm obviously fine with that

1. That seems to be consensus, I have it on my list to build something with more climbs for next year - probably 2 long climbs one after the other, or maybe 3.
2. Not sure the course can fix this. Probably not unrealistic when you have sprinters with very weak teams. Maybe all the amateurs could have 75 flat.
3. This one doesn't seem as bad as MT, but getting the hills closer together so we have more of them wouldn't be a big deal.

Thanks for reporting all the NCs, they are fun and quick to read. Really cool that we have 1 national road champion for next season: Alan Banaszek (POL) and two national time trial champions: Roy Goldstein (ISR) and Aydar Zakarin (RUS).

Though a bit late for this, but these riders became dual champions before the NC races even started as they were the only riders from their respective countries registered.

Stunning fail in three countries for that mixed route to miss all three RR titles Awesome for us to finally get our first ever South African NC from Morne though <3

Edmondson was close! He really likes that route in the NCs. Good performance from him for a 2nd place
