Just looking at the relegation fight, Lululemon's 5th place here could be huge. That should put them into striking distance of getting out of the relegation zone.

Indeed, they are now 26th and just 21 points away. Difficulty is that only hills are left for them.
It certainly has helped Aegon here. They have 4 RD left, Gazelle have 11 - so there's still the opportunity for Gazelle to catch up. It's only hill terrain left though in all PCT races - so they have every chance.
Eritel up to 12th, Azteca up to 20th, and Eddie Stobart back ahead of cycleYorkshire.

We were f*cked after a very poor Rheden GP but i'd given up even before then really. 27th it will be after COC inevitably go back past over the hills, they're the ones to watch
Yeah, podium by Fonseca! ... among Frenchmen
Still our best at 31th, missing ranking points by the smallest of all margins. Not the best timing for our third zero pointer this season. As all the no-scorers have been flat classics it seems pretty easy to find the area we need improvement.
Simon Pellaud added another brave ride to the list. If he just could kept going a little longer he may have scored... like breakaway companion Naesen did.
Both of AMEX's top riders at Paris-Tours performed to expectation. Baugnies did make his late attack, but it was not quite strong enough. It did however make it very difficult for the sprint trains to be effective and it allowed Matti Breschel to have a great finish ending up 2nd.
Banked 141 points a good outing. With just 4 races left on the calendar. AMEX is challenging for a top 10 finish but we will need two very strong finishes in the last 4 race to pull that jump off.
The reality of the season is we will fall just short of our 10th place goal.
