Congratz for Hurlus. Great performace. Was Cagan not set for first attack point? Disappointing day for my riders. But it is nice for the end-game. Chosen is a real candidate now for second position, specially since in tomorrows race Korzha, Boulet, Louveau and/or Dinescu will compete with Slayers Tersago for the win. Don't quite think so, with the races left i might just get the 100 points to overtake your current total, but I can't see you not scoring! I'd predict you might even widen the gap slightly. Schuller falling in stage 2 of hammer series just before the attack point hurt, probably cost me 50 or so points combination of that race of general standings overall. Its been a good battle through the season and you never know!

Congratz Dustin. Rohart rules. Not a bad result for my riders. Two more races to go. Who trained his youngsters on TT?

Congratz Dustin. Rohart rules. Not a bad result for my riders. Two more races to go. Who trained his youngsters on TT? I do but i'm not sure they are the best out there.. we will see Today's race as expected: congrats to the 3 best contributors of the div forum (it seems we wil llost 2 of them!) About GP Quebec, i have been disapointed by the result: with the good tactic Auge could have won. I have decided to change my usual 5 first attacks to 4 first then one at last point... that was a mistake. Auge was with Hurlus before the 5th attack and follow him quite easily. By not attacking at the same time, Auge has been dropped by Hurlus and never reach him again... And the worst is that Auge is quite good at sprint. Staying in Hurlus wheel should have been the good way to go ... By the way, 2nd place is good and Hurlus deserves its win !

What struck me, was the collaboration between Auge and Hurlus. Hurlus took the lead on the flat and hills, Auge on the downhills, increasing that way together the gap with Patrescu and Cagan. Me too, I expected an uphill sprint, and really not sure who would have won it. Hurlus maybe isn't that fast as Auge, but the uphill finish suited him very well and was maybe in his favor. We need a re-race to find out

And for today: congrats to Rohart (and Dustin, of course). He still got it if he really wants. Nice way to end his season !
Edit: Engel did very well too, but looks like he got a hunger knock halfway. Or it was a fall ? Not sure.

Yes, he was doing great untill he fell. It is a pitty, I guess he would have had the best sprint at the end. "WATCH OUT! Oh my god, Engel takes a bad fall"

We need a re-race to find out It could be great in the game to create a "what if ?" parallel world And yes Auge and Hurlus perfect collaboration appears clearly in the live report.

Oh my god, Engel takes a bad fall" is Engel good at downhill ? on my side, I have noticed an increase of fall in the downhill parts for my poor skilled in DH riders => 6 falls over 2 riders today ! By the way it is not supposed to be new... it is much probably because the proportion of my riders with good downhill decrease as i didn't trained that for many seasons

What is a bit of a bummer now is that the engine for the funraces is a different one than for our "real" races. I hope this will be solved soon - it can be nice to have a rematch there to see if different tactics or a bit more luck would have made the difference we would have hoped

I think his position in front of the race at the first half was partly because of the attackpoints. His otherwise quite useless very good sprint skills kicked in.

a Slayer supporter: "the whole strategy of the team has to be reviewed ! We cannot tolerate to finish only third in a race !"

Cyclist Devils Manager: "Our last 2 goals this season: -overtake Dirks in the Division ranking -win a last race
For this we have Sasha Lange who is angry and hungry after his poor season due to his bad habit to play with its front wheel when he considers the training boring"

We will make a very nice final-party to this season tomorrow with the last of the 5 big classics, Il Lombardia, la corsa delle foglie morte. I would say Lange is the bigfavorite. But a lot of strong riders are eager to take the last win. Pacchiano, Hillen, De Baerdemaker, Bandilla, Tag, Coleman, Franco, Raps, Istok and Van Nes. Who ever might win, it will be a beautiful and exciting race.

Van Munster emphasized today he's the best U21 in our division. Nice perfomence !
And tomorrow ... it feels like a true climax of the season. All the big stars are there: Istok, Raps, Pacchiano, Franco, Tag, Van Nes, Bandilla, Lange ... a battle of heroes. They all can be first, or 10th. Sick line up !
For my team Toto is the man. With a really strong performence, he could end as number 1 of my team. Little surprising, never expected this. Seems like I underestimate him somehow. Lets see what he can do tomorrow.
We are in for an exciting end of the season !!
