You know the drill - thread based on previous season
With the regular season now complete, it is time for the post-season events, which cosist of the World Championships and the subject of this thread - the National Championships.
The format of the 2024 MGUCI National Championships is practically the same as in previous years and while most managers should already be familiar by now, here's how it works:
All teams in the NC races have 8 riders with any gaps being filled with 'Generic Riders' witch each of them having all of their stats of 55. The maximum allowed total number of teams (which also includes the combined NC races with 2 or more nations involved) is 24, meaning that the maximum number of riders allowed is 192. This means that in almost every race there will be teams consisting soley of generic riders.
Of course, some of the bigger nations will have more than 192 riders nomminated by the managers. In this case there will be cuts based on the riders' strength of the selected terrain. For example - a sprinter is more likely to be cut from the startlist for a NC race that will be held on a mountain terrain.
There will also be cases in which a single team has more than 8 riders nomminated from one nation. In this case the riders will be sored in ascending order of their terrain strength with the Top 8 riders will form the main team. Any remaining riders will be allocated to a second team and in rare cases - a third team, to ensure that all riders from the team take part.
The routes have been already selected by the managers - they can be found in the spoiler

These riders were the only ones nominated for their respective national championships. As a result they are awarded both the RR and TT titles by default.

Thanks for the report!
Sprint NC's are just too random, though I guess we don't have a great Danish leadout for sprints anyway. Sad that AKA couldn't pull it off in his final chance.

Very happy with both NC’s for Greece. Boutopoulos will be a very cool rider to follow in the next couple of years, and to see his attacking Nature in the Jersey is really cool!
Vlatos taking his very last Ever NC Jersey is also Well deserved. Can’t be anything but very very happy for him! Ioannidis might just never end up winning it, which seems a bit hard, but I suspect it Will be Kiriakidis, Christapopoulos or Moutsios in the years to come.

Oh, we got a rare NC win 
Nice job by Paprstka in the Czech RR. Just a bit sad that it's the end of his final maxed season, so we'll see whether we're going to need a Czech NC jersey or not

Second post updated with now separate table showing how many titles each team has won - currently Podium Ambition has the most with 14 (I guess there's a benefit to have riders from unique nations)

Sosa would be a favorite on that course in many nations but in Colombia just off the podium is about what we would expect.

Double silver in Colombia, but can't be mad about losing to superstars such as MAL and Bernal

Probably Oomen's last chance for the jersey, but it was hard on his own. And well, we haven't won Belgium in years
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Nice of Olivier to get the NC win in his last maxed Champs. Benoot might have had a better chance of retaining the jersey if he did not attack so early!

I second this.
Not a good showing from our Spanish guys this year. Sad JPL will have to give up his NC jersey.
