WCS 2024

[Mlb]

It is an honor to win the men's world championship, but to be honest i think it would be fair to give the CFF world champion jersey to ophiuko since the women's road race also gave the u23 world champion and he had a split victory with Mitte in that competition.

It is an honor to win the men's world championship

Congratulations ! 

About your other text. I consulted the "WC jurors of the CFF League", and they disagree with you.
According to them you are the very rightful winner of the WC jersey, for these reasons ;

# the u23 women's WC title( within the elite-race ) never counted before as victory for the CFF WC jersey.
# not fair to the CFF participants, to count that u23 WC title in hinside as victory as well,
because if they knew that in advance, other picks would have been made / more focus on the u23 cyclists, to try to get that victory too.

Personally I think that ophiuko "kind of deserves" a WC jersey, but unfortunately for him, again he did not win it.
And nice & fair to give ophiuko a well-deserved WC overview of the past 3 editions, because he is an amazing contender in WC races.

2024  ophiuko =  silver  ( with 1 victory out of 2 WC races / even lost it due to the only rule in the CFF League )
2023  ophiuko =  silver  ( with 2 victories, but Mitte won even 3x / in other years 2x out of 4 or 5 was enough to win it )
2022  ophiuko =  4th place ( with 1 victory out of 5 WC races / very close to win the WC jersey )

But the overview of WC jersey winners look like this ;

World Championship Trophy, previous winners ;

2024 Mlb  ( 1 victory out of 2 WC races )
2023 Mitte  ( 3 victories out of 5 WC races )
2022 Vlominck  ( 2 victories out of 5 WC races )
2021 Kalarratas  ( 2 victories out of 5 WC races )
2020 Kalarratas  ( 1 victory out of 4 WC races )
2019 Vos  ( 2 victories out of 4 WC races )
2018 Vos  ( 3 victories out of 4 WC races )
2017 oldmen  ( 1 victory out of 3 WC races )

Well then, good news for me. At least i won something important this season.

[ophiuko]

Congrats Mlb! It was close, just 9 points behind you (and Vos 8 points behind me). Don't worry, I'll win the jersey next year with the WC in Kigali, Rwanda. I am the king of Tour du Rwanda (2x, tied with Animatoca but I win due to the most recent victory  ), so I'll use all my knowledge about the Mur de Kigali.

By the way, next year women U23 will have a separate race, so hopefully there will be 6x races in the WC jersey game.

I noticed there are only 4 left in the games calendar in WCS, skipping the three World Tour category races in China, plus many .Pro races. Are the admins just not keen on the season end or should we worry?

[Vos]

On just gut-feeling, I have some worries. Hopefully my gut-feeling is not right, that can be a real possibility. In fact, I have no clue.

next tour ;
  12 hours and 9 minutes left to join.
previous winners ; Mitte ( 23 ), ophiuko ( 22 ), Vos ( 19 + 18 ).

[Aurora Australis]

There was a sharp decline in participation as the season went on
Italia -2%
Tfd -14%
Espana -19%

Last year was flat compared to 2022.

[Kalarratas]

Hoping to be back full swing next season, my offline real life has kept me away from our lovely league unfortunately

  Kristoff wins sprint stage 1.

CFF League stage 1 winner = ophiuko 

[Vos]

  Molano sprints to victory in stage 2.

CFF League stage 2 winner = ophiuko 

[Vos]

  solo victory of McNulty, who takes the GC lead.

CFF League stage 3 winner = Vlominck 
Vlominck is the new GC leader halfway this little tour.

And perhaps even more important ; Vlominck is also the leader in the mountain classification of this little tour.
In the current situation ( = this tour + only one other tour left in 2024 ),
Vlominck can secure the season trophy King of the Mountains, if he wins the MC in Croatia.

[Vos]

  Lund wins stage 4.

CFF League stage 4 winner = Vos    & stage winner of all WCS participants !
Vos is the new GC leader with 2 more stages to go.


next race ;
  21 hours left to join.
previous winners ; Mitte ( 23 ), Vos ( 22 + 19 + 18 + 17 ), Kalarratas ( 21 ).

Kogut wins stage 6.  Final GC ;  1st McNulty 0:00",  2nd Lund 0:08",  3rd Wright 0:27"

CFF League stage 6 winner = Mitte 

GC winner = Vlominck 
Vlominck wins also the sprint- and youth- jerseys.
Vos wins the mountain jersey.

An important mountain jersey, because now I'm the new leader in the season trophy King of the Mountains.
With most likely 1 little tour left this season, there are still 3 CFF-participants to win it ;
1. Vos   10
2. Vlominck   10
3. Animatoca  9

Also the Emperor of Stage Wins Trophy is officially not decided yet, with 1 more little tour to go, that has 6 stages.
But with a difference of 5 stage wins, there is a huge chance that Mitte will win it.
1. Mitte   72
2. Vos   67


LaPorte wins the sprint-a-deux versus Vacek. The chasing group sprinted for the 3rd place, and Philipsen was the quickest.

CFF League winner = Vos
