Yes it does - which is something I'd love to hear more about throughout the season - this is a bit of a test run for calendar and race category/prize money balancing.
Rankings right now don't matter anyway right now, could all change quickly and of course some terrains have barely started. Speaking of which, thanks for the speedy Singapore sign-ups, should start soon. 6S

Nice start for Simoni, with a top10 in the prologue. We don't have an strong sprinter, and with the overall route it's likely that most of the top sprinters are in the race, so it's logical that we don't get a top10 in the flat stages.
Now waiting for the final TT, so Simoni can bring home a top10 in GC, to keep the points/money coming

A little late but never too late to praise our Captain Kripovets for that awesome win!

Was hoping for a podium on Stage 2 after a no-show in the Prologue. More chances for Dubois coming up. Not much to look forward to for our team in Singapore.

A great leadout there from Martin. Started hoping for a win from Dubois there but happy with a podium.

Not as good as Ellice
Remember to do Ruta America signups as soon as you can, and Trophee du Nord too!

Apologies to those who'd want a report - I get it but I'm strangled for time the next two days and wanted to get this out and give a day for Ruta America, so I didn't have time for exact gaps (I did calculate prologue times into GC, hence some flips from stage result) or a report  Sorry again

Not a big issue for me
And we are back to our lovely low-top10 places!

Oh and I forgot to mention - June calendar is up, and includes a very tough mountain tour, which was the first route I made Forbes this game. Should be fun

No problem for me there. Good to see Heintze in the Top 5!
I can't wait for that June Tour. Siegel will turn up in top form for sure!

Fine by me, total washout as expected, if there was ever a race where Cartamundi didn't want a report, this was it. |

Just looking at the calendar - did you mean the June Mountain Tour to be Cat B? |

Started Ruta America (summary style may have to continue with a lack of too much time) and revealed the triple header in July - all are mandatory races unless you cannot field a squad. The mountain races have a minimum of 6, the other one a minimum of 4. And I can only describe the Giro d'Alpi as pure insanely hard climbing porn

Just was able to catch up with Singapure, what a show our team put on. Kripovets with another stellar performance when he almost tricked the sprinters but got heartbroken once again, but then beautifully making up for that with the ITT and thus the GC win.
Now obviously also a nice start to the Ruta America - but Kripovets was always going to be the big favourite for the opening prologue. I hoped for bigger gaps though, still we are obviously taking the win and at least one day in yellow!
