For TMM's sake I'll vote for Bulgaria ;-)
Too bad there is no jersey for Monsalve, expected though. Better luck next year

Would've liked Adrien or Gasore Hategeka to win in Rwanda, but Valens took it so it stays in the team... Unless I loan him out.
Thanks for the report!

I always hope the NC's go to someone with a proper focus on that country sp happy to see Venezuela and Rwanda, but quite bummed out by Bonsucro getting nothing in Brazil. Guess they can still get the jerseys before next season at least

Yeah Bonsucro very unlucky at least in the RR. Shame AI is so inept with these small fields, but guess game not fundamentally built for these situations. Good old-fashioned IRL tactics of counting numbers would I have thought been reasonably code-able. Oh well. Some of the larger nations with big fields will hopefully have better races.

Ouch! Gotta feel for Bonsucro missing out in the TT and RR. I know your pain Rider!
Happy for Mobil to get the win in their home country.

Despite having race through my team , the truth is that R.Nascimento belongs to Prio-Porto and so I still do not have a national champion . I hope I have at least two in the team for next season

That AI.
At least nice to see Rujano retained his TT title. It would be great if my team can win both Czech and Slovak titles too. New Zealand is gonna be really tricky one, but Sergent will hopefully win once again at least the TT.
Hopefully the CyaAI will ruin the least possible number of races.

Great start for us with Nascimento taking the brazilian TT under Karcher's colours. I think nobody has actually ever beaten me there

Wouldn't it be possible to add a bunch of riders to all teams that have got 60 or 65 in all stats and then just ignore them in the overall rankings. That way there would probably be more incitament for the teams to make things stay together. I know it isn't realistic, but this isn't either. Especially those nationals where there are 5-20 riders.

Would still be much extra work.
- First to add all those
- Then those would also join breakaways making it weird to read
- They would still have a chance of winning, which would end in replaying a stage, which costs extra time

Unfortunatelly we hadn't that much time to test several different ways to optimize the NCs. May try something in off-season though. You wouldn't need to fill all teams, as it's only three or four teams doing the work anyway..
But we're in the wrong place here: gratz to all winners so far. Torres actually a nice winner, imo

Indeed. Torres had a nice season. Especially the 2nd half.
Pedraza had some highlight moments. But when you expected Pedraza to be there next to him it was often Torres instead. |

Atlantius, Scorchio & Aidan ... tell me about it!
Not massively fussed with the NCs, as it will be hard to change the planned main shirt into a NC. However, a Brazilian NC would have been fantastic. I'm guessing Affonso will probably be a certainty to stay with Alpina now, the downside of this being he won't be released: meaning he can't get a stat upgrade which I would have advocated as he won a big continental TT race in South America. Our best hope now lies with Uruguay, at least 1 NC would be nice.
Congrats to everyone on getting the NCs started. |

Two of our main assets failed to grab the NC. Abreu tried but it was too much mountainus for him and still is too green for the TT. Nazaret missing in action...
Congratulations to all the winners till now.

Superb 1-2-3 for Jaguar-Eritel in the Rwandan time trial - that will please the Rwandan sponsor I have coming on board! At least Hadi made the breakaway when attempting for a team double.

Thanks for that report Smowz, despite not finishing the RR and coming second-last in the TT.

No NC's for Uwizeyimana but I guess he wasn't one of the favourites anywhere so I can't complain. Looking forward to the rest of these. |

Yeah leave Ireland, Latvia is probably the more interesting of the two remaining.
I can post either Bulgaria, New Zealand or Brazil today also.
Any interest in those?
NZ!
