I fear Moscow has to be redone, my team did not have the correct riders there. Tsatevitch should have been there, now the Horizon Park lineup was at Moscow.
Well spotted, seems like a rerun is indeed needed. Sorry for everyone that did well. The rankings update will also have to wait until this issue is solved.
Wrong lineup for my team aswell it seems likes.
The correct one should be:
Horizon:
Bay, Lars
Strøm, Simon
Rask Jeppessen, Mathias
Hagen, Krister
Williams, Justin
Hovland, Steffen
Blikra, HÃ¥vard
Moscow:
Haga, Marcus
Bay, Lars
Strøm, Simon
Hoelgaard, Markus
Hoelgaard, Daniel
Blikra, HÃ¥vard
Guardini, Andrea

Waited for the emotions to calm down before posting.
This Giro was a great race, plenty of action and surprising performances from Verona and EBH made it memorable, and being part of a memorable race is what I want out of ICL.
I was disappointed that Bardet missed out on the podium but the damage was done by stage 3. It did force him to be aggressive meaning I had lots to cheer in the super videos. Worse luck was handed out to CCC and Carbonsports and I did far better in this goal race than all three combined last season 
Congratulations to krisa, Aru a worthy winner pushed quite close by Quintana in the end.
Thanks to Bikex for the reports and videos, it was exciting stuff.

First of all, apologies to everyone for running GP Moscow with a wrong startlist. Will rerun it today. More so to Bikex for holding up the Points update and June Previews.
As far as the Giro is concerned, congratulations krisa for Aru's and all jersey wins and to Croatia for the massive points haul!
Coming to my team's performance, one stage win, three podiums, 4th in the Points for Degenkolb, 5th in the U25s by Meijers and a best of 28th in the GC for Intxausti is quite worse than what I was expecting. We weren't even involved in the breakaways despite being so far down in the GC. I can see us slipping 4-5 spots in the Rankings at the end of this month to be right in the relegation mix. The signs are not good so far. Also, Degenkolb missed out on being the best of the German sprinters. I'll get you sometime knockout 
Thanks Bikex for the reports and the videos

The correct results are in. Same link as before.
Spoiler The last running was more exciting with high winds, high pace and echelons

Mixed feelings about the Giro. Mainly I think none of my riders worked out what who they were meant to be until the very end.
1. Boswell started off poorly but came good by the end, still finishing outside the top 10 is not good enough from him.
2. Van Baarle starts off really well and then nothing after the first week. Why is he the man getting in breakaways in the mountains? Who knows, but at least he did something...
3. Barry Markus did nothing. At all. When he was meant to be our #1 sprinter. Goncalves was more impressive, and he's on a 5x lower wage. In a way, I'd honestly prefer it if he crashed early on because 1 point is just...
4. Eldir Moreira is a madman. First he gets in excellent position for the youth jersey, then loses an hour the next day. Recovers somehow. Gets in breaks where he is terrible once or twice, but then finds two wins and a second placing.
And outscored the entire USA for the race.

Bah, should've known we would lose the win. Two 4th places in the CT with Danny being the best sprinter in the race is not good enough.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Already some big gaps in all the rankings. Grupo Argos could be the team this season to spoil the party for knockout. Vittel can already start to plan for the WT next season. Sevilla unfortunately still in the red zone. We need more magic from Verona and Elissonde! |

Already 500 points down. All we need now is to win everything, no biggie.

No. Look at the Vuelta & the Giro. Well Klose more than 2000 points on CSC there. We are looking for third place. Allianz has the better races left as well, only them can challenge...

Big gap after the classic season is already over. I'm the underdog now, right?

Nice 8th place for Pelucchi in Moscow, while Sanz adding some depth in the top20,
The ranking doesn't look too good, but with Moser out of racing until late July/August (and having most of his RD in the last 3 months of season) i'm confident that if we can be in a decent run with our climbers before Moser comes back we could still fight for the second place in CT, with Vittel obviously way ahead of everyone else

We lost only two spots this month when I thought we'd be further down. So it isn't as bad as I had predicted. I can definitely see a couple of teams behind us who will get past us in the coming months. Need to improve our point-scoring, especially from people not named Deg or Greg!
Come off it Croatia, you can't deny it anymore. You're the favourite for the title now and you gotta live with it

If Contador performs, the gap will be reduced in one race and extended on in the Vueltsla
Gotta love Caruso beating Froome lol
