This sentence still sounds hilariously wrong to me. It's time for some GT racing to shake things up at the top of the rankings and get my team away from the top. Otherwise the disappointment will be too large when this fantastic series of results stops and some managers might think my team is a true top 5 contender 
You should have quoted the full text. 
The 2nd sentece says exactly this.
Though the season is still long and the GTs will change a lot still.
Your team is some historical GT low. So I wouldn`t be surprised to see you out of top5 but inside top10 in the end.
I know that the next sentence changes the idea of the quote a bit but it still feels so wrong. Part of the weirdness is that some of my team's ranking rivals might be within the relegation spots right now.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Tougher race for us this time, Summerhill missed out on a the deciding move which isn't like him. Hopefully better results await as we get back down to the PCT level. Congrats to GVA and Evonik for the best human performance.

True. But with mainly cobbles, sprints and hills so far, your team was made for the early season. So not the biggest surprise.
Tomorrow you will get a new PT ranking update. Good for the promoted teams so far. |

Well, this is probably the first time I am even more happy after a re-run of a race which my rider had originally won. Not only a win for Bewley this time, but also a fantastic 14th place for Boroš, what a result from him! Couldn't be any better outcome for my team! Also goals 2/2, Roubaix win the next. 
Surprising to see Summerhill fail a little bit this time. GVA expectedly the best challenger, but he probably has a chance vs. Bewley only if he has a superb day/Bewley has a bad one or a similar scenario for a cobble monument. Hopefully I don't jinx it for Roubaix now. Big result for Trentin, Kristoff not so great, but could be worse. Also happy to see our old buddy Verbist with a decent 18th place.
Thanks roturn for a quick and quality report and once again thanks for all these nice congratulations!
And already can't wait to see the update of rankings. The last year we were in the lead at this moment in the season...

Give yourself a challenge and for once don`t pick Bewley goals. This is getting boring. |

I guess Roman is not bored with swimming in cash year by year, throwing 3-5 mils. on training.

As we usually spend some hour or two with Roman during transfers discussing the training, i am quite aware that Sagan is one of his main projects and you can be sure i support it 100%.
Btw i wonder what will today ranking update bring, are we still last?

Hmm, I tried to pick a hard goal the last year for Velits. Was a massive fail. And I believe 3 monument wins is quite a challenge, even for Bewley!

According to your posts, that would have been the 3rd rage quit in the same season

Thanks for the report roturn, great as always. Superb if predictable win from Bewley.
Huge and fantastic ride from Vanspeybrouck, he fought really hard today and held on when he needed to. Lots of good solid domesticate results too.

I didn't really need to read the report to know who won... Congrats Roman and Bewley (yet again!)
I think someone needs to seriously take him out in the first race to stop another year of domination next season
