   Birmingham – London
  A sprinters race in England with the finish line in London means a great venue for the world's best sprinters. Twenty teams signed up but because twenty-one teams could sign up we missed one nation within the Division A. Poland was the unfortunate one. The Polish manager was not able to comment as he was not in the Polish office. Lately he is never in the office. The pack stayed together and the leadouts for the captains did a great job to secure a bunch sprint in the end.
  France started the sprint and Melchior Hemery, Opium Fueled, took a small lead from far away. In the end he was passed by Belgian Godfried Engelborgh, TeamEric, and Dutchman Jan-Peter Werff, mikai. The Dutchman beat the Belgian guy for the victory this time and with that victory the Netherlands took the lead again

in the World Tour.
  
   Hamburg – Lübeck
  In the northern part of Germany division B had their meeting in the streets between Hamburg and Lubeck. Many teams entered with just Albania and Argentina missing. Those two A teams went from Awesome to Aweful. The other teams were eager to do great and we fond some big nations against very small ones. The German weather was very good for cycling with a mild breeze and some humidity in the air. This gave the riders a good base for a great performance in the streets of Lubeck. All the nations wanted to stay in front but the smartest riders did. Malaysian rider Azmizan Yusoff, Rantanplan, was the first to go, but he was followed by Kane Slater, Storm Sandefjord, of the Isle of Man and Russian Anton Ugulnikov, NightmareChaos. Kane Slater passed Azmizan first but he was unaware of the fact that he was a perfect leadout

for Anton. The Russian won the race. Before the Isle of Man and Malaysia, giving Russia its first World Tour victory.
  
   Minas – Montevideo
  Where the division A and B had their races in Europe the division C nations had to travel to South America. Uruguay hosted their World Tour race but, like their Euorpean colleague's the also had a sprint race. Only eight teams were at the start but the excitement was not less. We did miss Cape Verde, Luxembourg, Saint Lucia, Turkey and Switzerland. The race around the capital was very exciting because we had one rider up front all day long. Eritrean Tesfahiwet Tesfahiwet, peddelen, escaped from the beginning and used his technique to stay ahead of the chasing peloton. After a few minutes Iranian Agrin Emadi, mapei bianchi, claimed second place with Matej Delac, elmi, claiming the bunch sprint for third for Croatia.

  Poland doesn't even have a office. They can't afford it.

  With their great results in CoN, Poland should be able to rent some office space for a while.

  Hire a manager before thinking about an office
