  Clash of Nations
  The annual Clash of Nations has been behind us for a while now but, let us look at the nations that did good in the various races. More then twenty nations did participate again in this championship.
  
   CoN Delhi
  India gave us a great race with Belgium winning this first race. They beat the Netherlands and Denmark.

  3. Ejnar Rosenborg, Il Grillo
  
   CoN Beijing
  The sprinters were invited in China for their second race and Belgium took advantage of their momentum and won the second race also. This time, beating Australia and Portugal.
  1. Godfried Engelborgh, Team Eric
  2. Nathan Jennings, 1 2 Cycle
  3. Lúcio Águeda, Glamourade
  
   CoN Washington City TT
  A new race and a new winner, that is what we all hoped for. This time it was not Belgium but, it was Norway who was victorious. Denmark finished second ahead of England.
  1. Lars Gjerde, Hard Gaat Ie
  2. Sven Ørsted, Red Star
  3 Theodore Castle, Matrix team
  
   CoN Sydney
  Australia had an incredible bush course waiting for the hill riders. In the end it was Denmark that won the race, finally. They beat Portugal and Spain.
  1. Jarl Brøndum, ABK
  2. Leandro Queirós, qazpl
  3. Benedict Guerrero, Glamourade
  
   CoN Paris
  The cobbled streets of Paris gave room to another type of rider

in the Clash of Nations. The though Fladriens were ready to perform. Spain won this race with their mighty cobble team. They beat Belgium and Denmark.
  1. Rogerio Echave, TACXkin
  2. Sebastien Persoens, radu
  3. Sigurd Guldhammer, Vientiane Cycling
  
   CoN Rio de Janeiro
  The green mountains behind Rio de Janeiro had it all, steep climbs and hard descents, cheering spectators and a great peloton. In the end it was Belgium being a winner again. This time beating USA and France.
  1. Frank Kint, Belgium
  2. Robert Thomas, USA
  3. Richard Erty, France
  
   CoN Cape Town
  The final race in this seasons CoN was in South Africa. Could there be a surprise or would it be one of the earlier winners that grabbed the victory here also. This time it was the Netherlands who won. They beat Ireland and Belgium and finally had their win.

  2. Philbert Seaman, Scotterpop
  3. Godfried Engelborgh, Team Eric
  
  Transfers of the Week (21/10/13-27/10/13)
  
  The most expensive transfer of the week was
Nemesi Marchand, a twenty eight year old, 214 point time trial rider. He was brought by sprint4live for a total of 250 thousand dollars from Caixa Galicia. He is one of many new riders Slico has brought recently.
  
  
Stefan Pinel was the “odd one out” in Noppes team NECFTW. He was transferred for 185K to his new team Manisaspor. He will race as captain after Ozgur Akman sold his climbers to switch to a hill team.
  
  Twenty seven year old, Romanian
Inocentiu Lobont, who’s a 210 point climber, was bought by English hopeful

href='/team/Britcycles'>Britcycles for a total of 140 thousand dollars from Greenride. He should be a great team mate at his new team, or maybe the new captain
  
  Another Romanian was transferred this week. His name,
Ignatiu Codrea, a young twenty two year old, 202 point sprinter, who now rides for Optimus Prime for a fee of 130 tousand dollars. He used to ride for Galliano4827, but after the team became inactive for a while, manager Sam krieg sold everyone.
  
  
Yuri SuperTeam was involved in the transfer market this week. He bought a potential Dutch time trial rider. He has the following potentials:
   CL: Good
   DH: Small
   HL: Small
   SP: Small
   FR: Very good
   CB: Small
   TT: Good
   TQ: Average
  
  His name is
Nick Wisgerhof, and he was bought for 120 thousand dollars from Quick step minded.
  
  Another team very active in the market recently is
Rotational Symmetry. They have bought two riders. The first being Çetin Murat, who cost this team 115 thousand dollars after being sold by Manisaspor. The second one brought in was young American Antwan Ray. NHS Wargs sold him for 100 thousand dollars. They should prove to be valuable team mates for this team.
  
  
Team Tirilla have a slightly old, new edition to their time trial squad. Tomislaw Markowski moved from sprint4live to his new team for 108 thousand dollars. Not too bad for a 212 point time trial rider.
  
  And last, but not least for this week, is
Wit Buelens. He is a truly amazing rider, I mean look at these potentials;
   CL: Average
   DH: Average
   HL: Average
   SP: Average
   FR: Very good
   CB: Small
   TT: None
   TQ: Very good
  
Team Revolutie bought this great potential for 100 thousand dollars. thedutchies cashed in on this great potential.
