Indeed, great performance by Thomas, and fantastic result for Busche. And such GC domination by Vittel, scary!

Yeah indeed, ridiculous depth from Vittel so far. Seems like you built a decent team there, Yellow yersey. But please stay away from my swiss riders.

Well, If whole CT season will be like that... Vittel will have easy first place in the rankings. That february tempo was amazing, thanks Shonak and Bikex for that! It seems that Bikex will have a lot of stuff to do in the rankings |

Three riders in the Top 20 despite the TT being a weak point for almost all of them, Paulus tied on points with the KoM winner and 2-3-5 in the U25 classification. Bosch continues to amass a good amount of minor points in non-Herklotz races!

Vittel is just scary. But their Team approach is awesome, so they very much deserve it!

Yep nice set of results from your team Yellow Jersey!
I was very pleased to see Suntory U23 rider Crochet in 16th overall, great climbing from him.
Thanks for the incredible pace and super videos Shonak.

The Caribbean Cycling Team are flying so far, any time we're not last is brilliant to me. Henao obviously crushing it, but Newbury and Lobato are also comtributing alonside Mayho. Although it will be years until we're genuinely competitive given out commitment to regionality.

8(!) riders in the top 32 including the leader, that's what I call a start to the season. Once again, congrats to Vittel!
For us the first 2 months were really mediocre to say the least, hopefully we can pick it up, starting in March.

Thanks for the ranking update. Vittel on top and don't discount Wiggle, Thomas alone should score loads. Great start for Bosch and ICBC, too. Fun fact: Sondre Holst Enger needed just one month to score more prestige points than he collected in his previous four ICL seasons. In all that time he managed only 159 points, this February alone he collected 234.

I didn't drop as far as I thought I would. Bring on March
Vittel are on another level at the moment!

Great rise to 5th in CT rankings and 10th in Prestige (5th among CT teams), while Moser is now 3rd in CT rankings, only behind riders like Kozhatayev or Nerz who have used way more RD than him so far

I think I can maybe see a Santos rider's shoulders but it seems we're not headed for any points in Bianche

Maybe, five Euskadi riders in the break?

Looks like 0 visible there, fingers crossed one is hiding behind the moto

A Wilier rider inside the first 15 places. Assuming it's Moser - because it can't be anyone else - it looks fine
