Kristi(a)n Vanderpool, the MG's first ever female NC winner  
The double Barbadian stays with us, although i'm quite happy to see it split up. Vanderpool shouldn't have won that but i'm most definitely not complaining.
Two Caribbean doubles in the bag is very nice... Does make me think i should replicate Cool Runnings (my ICL team, not the classic comedy) in the MG... maybe not at PCT level though...

Considering we don't win races or stages. Maybe i should invest heavy in the smaller nations. So i at least can get some NC Jerseys and wins in the NC's

Great riding by Arissol - and well deserved after taking the Seychelles first win ever this season. Time will tell if he'll get to actually race in it (hope so)

Oh my! What a TT from Carlos Verona. That could easily be the highlight of his career. A huge upset over some great TT guys and even his teammate Omar Fraile. Couldn't be more proud of a guy that we brought in as a youngster.

We couldn't take care of business in Denmark, so congrats to Spotify for doing it in Sweden. Well deserved and did their job. Thought we would make the podium, but that doesn't matter anyway. Having that jersey for a year was nice though.
Looks like we'll be without any (road) NC's this year as all of our big chances are done and only faovrites win now. I'm disappointed but it's no big deal. Gotta start training myself to have the knockout mindset I guess so it won't bother me.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

Yeah! This is going quite well for us.
2nd by Stallaert in Belgium was nice and then Sweeck with a good 5th in the TT.
Followed be Abals podium on the TT in Spain.
And then a double in Sweden Lövkvist in a good position for negotiate a new contract now. |

Maes, Tenorio and Izagirre failed. NCs are over for me
Congrats to all successful and happy managers, good luck to everyone who are still waiting and hoping for their success.

Not bad 9th and 12th with Valls in the Spanish NC's. Not extremely bright too, but it's not like he was a pre-race favourite anyway. Bilbao delivering and taking the jersey was expected and great to see

Expected result in Norway, congratulations, tastasol and viking90! At least we came away from it with a couple of medals
Kind of hope EBH doesn't win the Worlds now, as it would be a pity to not have the Norwegian champion jersey in the peloton next season. |

Bystrom gets the NC jersey if EBH wins the Worlds.

6th place in Belgium is most likely all we can ask for this time around overall decent result. Both US and Canada champs were also pretty decent. Shoutout to the guys getting these out so fast!
Completely missed that the Swiss NC was also run. FUCK YES GET IN PELLAUD!

Very impressed with Souper Soupe's 4th place, 3rd sprinter, in the French RR. Far above my expactation and where he should have been.
Equally as impressed by Hivert to claim a solo break win!

Mottin's 3rd place in the French ITT was very good, too bad he didn't have those restults during the season.. But only our second rider racing (and first that isn't a loanee) so we still have many races to discuss.

Hugely disappointing follow-up NC for Demare there.
