Eurosport-Pepsi has finished our first ever Grand Tour and it certainly didn't go as I expected  .
Bardet only had one bad day and an OK TT and managed to keep ahead of Aru to get 6th, better than expected.
Surprise package was Clément Chevrier who was 10th in GC in front of some good riders, and 3rd in Young Riders.
Cav got us our first WT win which was fantastic but given the startlist I expected so much more, we learned PCM15 AI had other ideas.
Cav only managed 16 more ranking points than Chevrier!

And it looks like the lanterne rouge will go to Rambaurt!
Total surprise that Rambaud is the Lanterne Rouge and we were only one of three teams who finished with 8 men .
It was a great experience and thanks to Bikex for the exciting pace.

Rankings update and June preview posted.
As expected Italo now in the lead of the WT rankings, but Prorace only closely behind, so I expect them to still overtake us until the end of the season as Froome & Gilbert still have some more races then Nibali & Vanmarcke + Prorace's team depth is stronger.
Also thank you very much for voting ICL forum game of the year together with CX. This award goes to anyone who is part of ICL and helps to make this game be what it is.
Thanks for the User Project Award as well, didn't think I'd get a personal award with a banner.

Congrats bikex on the awards, they were well deserved.
On the rankings we are doing very well in the U23s, Roinas is 4th and the team is 6th.
Unfortunately the main team isn't doing so great, 21st and third last WT team in the Prestige, unfortunately the page won't load so I can't see WT rankings.

Congratulations and Thanks to bikex!
Rankings aren't looking as bad as expected after that Giro fail. Seemingly we are right there in the battle for 4th - I'm hoping for the triple header now where we should be able to compete for points in all races.

Rankings look really good now, especially the U23 team...everything is possible now, especially with Fuglsangs efficiency, but I feel like sending a captain to Guatemala was too optimistic...
seems like it´s gonna still be too less points for promotion, too less CT.1 races targeted...

Are many having this kind of problem? For me it just loads really long. If you guys want I can remove some of the tiny jerseys from the ranking thread.  |

Happy about the rankings update, that shows us how we are not that far from Sap! Hopefully we can do a miracle in the next months - the ones we should struggle the most as well...

Also, La Jurassaine is now up. Which means we're already into June and the triple header is coming very, very soon!

De Gendt doing quite well to be best of the riders not to make the move, so I'm happy with 9th even though I wanted to do well in a home race. Thanks Matt.

Rodriguez defeating Mollema? This is outrageous, I demand a rerun!
Dropped a lot on the rankings as well, but thanks to Raphaël Vanbutsel the dev team is riding!

Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Thanks Matt and congratulations to you and Bikex on your well deserved awards .
Cannot believe we are in the top 10 WT rankings, enjoying it while it lasts.

Thorough review of the Giro and another top monthly preview, with Matt adding another race: this is some top class entertainment right here!
- Italo leading the rankings but the gap is there to bridge: it is the season for us to go after the title with some of the key guys leaving at season's end as we look to form a cobble dynasty and give all our money to Korup!
Down below: Cymru where expected but nothing has gone right for LA really.
Very big month ahead: a top 10 will be hard in Germany but a top 5 in Guatemala and a podium in Mount Fuji would be nice. Also we bring Vangenechten, Marcato and Pauwels to a rare, for us, c2 race: perhaps someone could win a stage for us who isn't Froome/Gilbert?! |

Knocked out of 11th place despite having a good race.
Well, shit. Still hoping for a top 10 finish at the moment but the most important thing is we're months ahead of the relegation battle. I feel like Chelsea.

Not a good Giro from the team. Apart from a few top 10's, they did nothing noteworthy and Nerz did not even come close to a top 10 in the GC. Oh well... hoping that Degenkolb scores us enough points to avoid relegation. |

And with the first two stages of Deutschland Tour the tripple header kicks off: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1140573
At the moment I could need someone to help me updating the Archive File with the latest results, so I can make a victory ranking or similar. It's basically just copy pasting. I'd appreciate if someone could find a little time. |

I don't understand my teams behaviour... Everyone was outside the GC after the first stage and that includes Barbin and Guarnieri... I'm so disappointed... Guatemala to come when I'm back home this afternoon.

Let's see what Wellens can do here, looking good so far with also nice work from Hofland and Henao.
