Well, normally i was doing this race, but after those cynical "jokes", i felt it would be better to give the race to someone else. Thx to SN for taking it.
In the end, Ricco wins, which was to be expected. Kirchen 6th, which gives me close to 200 points. Also top 10 goal achieved. Rjc also achieving his top 5 goal.
My next race will be Herald Sun Tour.
In all seriousness, it was, indeed, a joke. Albeit one that was taking the pee-pee out of an old manager, Magenta, and his erstewhile chum SotD.
But, for future, it's sometimes better just to let someone else race a race that has either a major contender in that is yours, or just even if you are concerned over the result.
I try not to race single day hilly races for two reasons - I want to win them and don't want anyone doubting me if I was to, and also I like to read the reports of the races as it's more enjoyable for me.
Regardless, there aren't any problems with your reporting as many have already said!
On to the race itself, I am pleased as heck that I got 5th, it looked blinkin' close there! But it means I get 4/5 goals for the season, which isn't too bad for sure! Well done Ginanni though! Finally podiuming!

Won't be doing any PT races then next year. But i can understand the reasons behind it, and i'll pay attention for it next year.
Funny thing about Ginanni though. His best result of the season so far, but fenian's official goal was to win the race .
I think there was a point to make here, I will certainly avoid taking Red Bull races next season where possible.
It was always going to be one for the Italians - Schumacher and Efimkin did well to get that third and fourth place in my opinion. Ginanni comes second and still will be a fail - but what about Pozzato he really has been poor in this classics (barring the opener).
4th place.. that's not great but not that bad.. The question is.. Have I enough points before my last race of this season - Japan Cup? It will be interesting..
But i can understand the reasons behind it, and i'll pay attention for it next year.
