Wow, huge race for Evonik!
Congrats!
8th is ok from Ahlstrand, espacially seeing guys like Swift behind.
Had hoped Stallaert and Vedel Kvist could be up there helping Ahlstrand in the end and by that ge top 30 themself.
Thanks for the report! |

Yes, that was actually amazing! Finally flat riders get their time to shine and in such an awesome way, Evonik deserve that, Dzamamagic, and GVA (and Van Stayen) are such amazing riders! Just a great race, thanks for the report to Abhishek! 
Nice showing by Vantomme too, had no support so glad he kept himself well placed and I don't really mind about the number. One day we'll have Veyhe here...

That moment when as the reporter you read something in the discussion thread and somehow stop yourself from giving the result away

Huge day for Evonik. Jealousy
A bit unlucky result for Wohler, I guess. Nice to see him trying though and that's exactly what I was hoping for here (Saber has been hopeless in this field). With Wohler, Feng and Vanspeybrouck inside the Top-25, it's been a solid overall performance, even though it's hurts to finish outside the Top-10 with Wohler's attack looking promising at some point.. well, we had worse races most recently, so I guess I must be happy with some points here
Thanks for the report!

Evonik destroyin' that sprinters field, nice one to go. Glad that Hansen was part of it and Langeveld tried earlier. Unfortunately both not with much success but it's always cool to see that your secondary riders are risking it. Even better that Guarnieri didn't get confuse and did a fine job, coming 6th in the end. It's an okay performance by the team and some welcome points but I wouldn't have minded seeing Hansen sprint to the last podium step either. Boekmans below expectations as usual, literally every race day shared with Guarnieri is a wasted one. Should have known this before sadly.

2 in the top 25 is pretty nice and 13th for Summerhill is nearly the top 10 we wanted so pretty happy.
Thanks for the report another great one Aquarius |

Oh how i love this race!
Never remove this from the calendar! 
I felt sth might be possible when the first signs of echolons appeared but this race tops even the most optimistic hopes i had. Finally relying on high flat stats with guys like Dzamasmagic and Stoltz paid off again.
Great to see Evonik alumni Hansen as part of the move eventhough he couldnt hang on to the move.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

This must be a joke...
Not even a top10 with a team of Swift-Groenewegen-De Bie.
Surely had other things in mind for the last race by my sprinters...well then.
Echelons might be fun at times. But the game handles them in a really shit way. |

Well, we performed exactly when we didn't have to, but it's still nice to show ourselves in our home race.

Oh god.
EDIT: I thought "let's check this first so Deutschland can lift your spirits if this went awful".

Awful result. We really don't need this kind of performance atm. Top 20 was the bare minimum...
Interesting finale nonetheless, keeping the suspense until the end. Congrats on your fetiche event, KO!

We came with top 10 as a goal, and we got it.
Bewley "only" 5th, is a bonus in terms of the PT fight. I expected to lose 150 points

Congrats to Evonik. Thanks for the report.

10th is decent and okay. Seeing how the race unfolded, I must admit I hoped for more, but unfortunately Kristoff wasn't ideally placed when the splits occured towards the end.
Huge 1-2 for Evonik, they've been on a roll since June! Congratulations |

Bahh... I'm the only one who can claim the underdog role 
After this race, the gap is 200 points, and even if Lecuisinier should go on to win in Germany the gap will be less than 500.
And from then on you have 4 additional races! Portugal, which is likely to give you 100-300 points. Rheden GP which is likely to give you 200-250 points. Ukraine which is likely to give you 100+ points and Lisbon Classic which is likely to give you 150-250 points.
So after the PTHC calender is over, you are likely leading by 50-400 points. Probably around 200.
And then there is just these races left:
East Midlands (+200 to you)
Tour of Northern Europe (+250 to you)
Copenhagen-Malmo TTT (~Same or +25 points to me)
Tour of Tasmania (+250 to me)
Giro di Lombardia (~Same)
So you are still a huge favorite for me to win by 500 points or more.

2x defending champion can never claim to be the underdog!
To me, you seem to be overestimating Moser somewhat, but time will tell.
And Vesuvio in Moscow - as predicted, nothing.
