I'm with you on this. This is likely one of the few things he'd prefer not to win. His next race is his home race of Murcia.

I am really looking forward to the next official update.
The curse of the rainbow jersey. :lol:

It's not the curse. It's his current mentality. How about this comment from him today: "Racing in my home region with this jersey on for the last two days already was a victory for me. Every race I take the start of has that special feeling in the rainbow colours. If I’m able to win after that, it’s even better, but I feel like we’re doing just fine at the moment."

Sure why not.

Valentius, can you see who would be the winners of this competition in previous years, or is your spreadsheet (or however you are keeping track of this competition) not designed to do that?
