Trackmania Nations Cup
Three weeks ago, Electronic Tournaments launched the first TM2 edition of the well known Nations Cup. Renamed TNC (Trackmania² Nations Cup) on Canyon, this competition pits different countries that had to form national line-ups for the occasion.
All the groups match have been played except for the pool B made up of 5 countries. So we already know which countries are qualified for the playoffs in the 3 others pools, we will find the favorites as France and Germany. We will also find Sweden that showed us a good potential even without Frostbeule and should be a good outsider in this final stage.

Here is the pool with 5 countries, there are still 3 countries able to qualify to the final stage. Poland is first at the moment but will have to confront its two direct competitors and don't let them take points to stay in the top2. It seems difficult for them according to Norway and Australia results.
Poule C
This pool C was without surprise, all match finished by a 3-0 score. Czech Republic and Russia qualified easily to the quarter-finals. The klovni's Finland ends in a symbolic third place of this pool.

And here is the fourth pool where the French and Belgians are. Unfortunately, Portguese had to forfeit this competition due to a lack of players . The victory of Italy to Belgium (2-1) enables them to accompany the French who lost only two rounds during their first 2 match. The last match between France and Italy which should takes place next weekend will determine the first of the division.
