Uh?

  Well, that was weird. Signed up my TMs for Fukagawa - Asahikawa just to improve TS. Jan Øverland as captain, the rest as BA (*see Edit2 below). What do you know, Jan Øverland won it!
  
  Race report: http://www.cyclingsimulator.com/?page=News&article=58437
  
  This means I am back in div4 for the moment.
  
  In other news:
  Kelsey Freeny gained a climbing point from racing July 25th, he is now at CL58.
  
  Gerwin Lute finished his Power output session and gained 12 in time trial points. The session cost you 30.000 $.
  Currently at mediocre AV53, but one more session to go.
  
  Edit: In my joy I overlooked that Kelsey Freeny got an injury in today's race. Crap! Out of the game until August 4th.
  
  Edit2: I need to start reading those horrible race reports properly. In hindsight it seems Jan Øverland was in fact set as BA, while Kelsey Freeny was captain. That makes it all slightly more plausible (but it is still really weird Jan Øverland managed to win).

  Sorry about that, it seems I misremembered my team's race tactic.

  The same happened to me last season altough I didn't win. I've made a thread in the Bug Reports forum:

  You can better trade Lute for a 140+ climbing talent... even untrained it'll be a better... now just find a fool to do the trade ;) (oh wait, Theo Alards ^^)
