Pity the break won on Colombia given that Suaza was best of the rest! Great result for him to beat Uran, Henao and the rest.
But it kinda had to Beltran that won it, given his year in CT! Nice for one of the South American squads to take it.

Quintana too lazy to get in the break which is the only way to win in these 'small' championships. Oh well. Next year  |

Will be nice to see the COL NC shirt in breakaways next year 
Gratz, Scorchio. A great season deserved a good ending!

Almost impossible for Duarte to take the TT-crown in Colombia with Uran on the startlist, so happy with second.

Atleast i got the TT-win again in Colombia, with these small startfields that's the best you can hope for with a favorite .

Ah, Beltran!  But did we expect anything else really?
Going to be fun to engineer a Colombian NC for him!

Obviously Beltran.
Who else?
This was a really huge season for him. Best of any level 3 rider ever I guess.
Great buy.
Next year will be a tough one for him. He gets too strong for many breakaways I guess and too weak to challenge from the peloton against many riders. Plus it`s PCT then.

Happy we got the Kenyan NC. Was a good race as well, and I think it was because of the way our team were split up which made Samwel and Ndbri go head-to-head at the end. Also good to see Hussein retaking the TT title, he should have that in the bag for the next few years.
Cool to see Beltran take the Colombia race, capping off a great season for him. A nice win for Nutresa on home soil. |

Not a fan of the way the Chinese RR went, we had the two strongest climbers there....

Beltran just can't stop winning!
Brave effort from the Alpina boys though, especially Heiner Parra, who finally shows his talent after doing eff all all season. Also fourth in both the RR and TT (Rojas would be proud) from two pure sprinters is quite an achievement

Just noticed the EST is up.. Congrats, Crommy.
Won't stop me from following my initial plan to put up the Bel-French double header soon! Get yourself a drink any Popcorn, estimated time is 20 CET!

Finally some with my riders then.
Vanmarcke, Nooytens, Frison. At least one of them please into the break. In best case one of the first two.
France...Roux most likely to abandon as he is favourite. In better case though he fights for win. |

Beltran has had one of the best lower Colombian rides that I can remember - I had a couple in my first year Rodas and the other Parra Bustamante as well as Orozco. These guys are still kicking about but Beltran seems to get the results.
Nice job on the Estonian nationals there BBL - tsmoha has done loads of the nationals but great to see so many fresh faces doing these nationals

Coppel winning the french TT must be the biggest suprise
Nice to see some NC's not won by a break for a change, congrats to the winners

Well that was rather disappointing of our riders in the Belgian road race. Had hoped for a sprint train if it ended in a bunch sprint, but clearly we spent too much power chasing the breakaway! Van Stayen sadly poorly positioned in the sprint. Congratulations to Crommy!
