This update goes up to the Colombian Venteaux but still missing a bit incl. Etoile Besseges, Vilnius, USA PCC, San Sebastian, ToA and Hanko. So in especially the long ToA but also the others clearly not show the exact picture.
It`s C2HC Benelux, C1 ITT, Bayern, Mantalaha and C2 San Luis, Bulgaria, Sakartvelo in this part.
Well, the big points were rewarded in the Benelux Challenge and actually it was key for winning part 1!
Delvaux had such incredible performance there with 3 riders high in the GC and more just outside. Pure dpth and it was 239 points which almost was enough to win alone. Campari as race winner had 100 points less! Also Cerceceria scored more and Swisslion more than decent as well.
The C1 is difficult due to PCT presence and it showd in the attempts most time. Sauber with 21 in the Celtic Chrono is okay, Banco with 41 in Bayern also decent for CT teams and ENI MOL in Mantalaha with 97 points was very good. But other than that not a lot of C1 scoring in those races.
In C2 Eddie Stobart! dominated San Luis with 122 points in total. BNZ with 99 and Valio with 80 follow next. 140 points then for Valio in Bulgaria making them win the GC and top the score. Again Eddie Stobart with 80 being close to the top being a regular scorer recently.
56 points for Banco in Sakartvelo was the most.
| Team | Total | Luis | ITT | Bay | Bul | Sal | Man | BNL |  | Delvaux | 279 | 19 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 21 | 239 |  | Campari - Super Dry | 241 | 33 | 0 | 0 | 32 | 13 | 24 | 139 |  | Valio - DeLaval | 236 | 80 | 0 | 0 | 140 | 0 | 0 | 16 |  | Eddie Stobart | 214 | 122 | 0 | 0 | 80 | 4 | 0 | 8 |  | ENI - MOL | 208 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 35 | 32 | 97 | 34 |  | Team Cerveceria Costa Rica | 181 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 167 |  | Banco de Bogota | 181 | 0 | 0 | 41 | 47 | 56 | 0 | 37 |  | Swisslion Cycling Team | 176 | 17 | 8 | 3 | 20 | 8 | 0 | 120 |  | BNZ Cycling Team | 147 | 99 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 27 | 0 | 9 |  | Andorra Project - InGamba | 145 | 0 | 10 | 15 | 78 | 13 | 0 | 29 |  | Sauber Petronas Racing | 139 | 26 | 21 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 92 |  | Equinor Pro Cycling | 131 | 43 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 87 |  | Compal-Merida | 124 | 63 | 0 | 0 | 50 | 0 | 0 | 11 |  | Oberfranken | 77 | 8 | 0 | 1 | 12 | 20 | 0 | 36 |  | DK Žalgiris | 75 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 19 | 36 |  | Adastra - Argon 18 | 54 | 17 | 0 | 2 | 34 | 0 | 0 | 1 |  | Rothaus - Aegon | 37 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 37 |  | Telia-Brussels Airlines | 20 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15 |  | GCN ProTeam | 18 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7 |
Part 2 includes lots of C2HC, so big scoring ahead. GP Cyclistes, Paris Tours and Colombian Venteaux alongside Euskal Bizikleta!
Then C1 in Baltic and Britain with Rio being the only C2 event this time.
Eddie Stobart`s Travis Meyer won in Rio but still outscored by DK Zalgiris due to better depth.
Caltic saw a strong Rothaus Aegon performance against the PCT with 72 points and ENI MOL with 89 did well in Britain just like Eddie Stobart yet again with 64.
And it`s not done yet for them. They also won the Euskal Bizkleta and got 116 points! What a run recently for Sutty. But again outscored by Delvaux` depth and 144 points for them.
GP Cyclcistes and Paris Tours both won by ENI MOL, the part`s top scorer. Closely followed by Delvaux once more.
Compal then to win Colombian Venteaux and scored most ahead of Andorra, Oberfranken and co.

Delvaux with a big move to teh top passing Valio and Andorra this period. Their depth really played out well in the recent races.
The 1-2 look to make the win between each other as all other teams have a too big gap it seems.
Cerveceria in 4th but under big pressure by ENI MOL, who jumped 7 spots into the promotion area! Swisslion one of the losing teams droping just under the line and also being under pressure from Campari now. Though all very close within 160 points from 4th to 8th.
And also the next, Sauber, GCN and Banco Bogota still with good chances!
Regarding ToA Cerveceria looks best as they participate just like potentially Compal and Bogota!
Eddie Stobart also climbed nicely from 19th to 12th AND participate in America as well race day wise.
At the bottom DK Zalgiris did not have the best season as their focus on Siskevicius, Lopez, Kruopis mainly did not play out well. Bottom last below Telia and Equinor.
Then a bit of a gap to BNZ and Rothaus, that dropped down from 11th.

Amateurs
In the amateur league Festina easily leads, still taking profit from early Tachira. More recently decent points in San Luis and Baltic for them though.
RBC climb up as well with scoring in San Luis. 46 is one of the best of the amateur league this season in one race.
Signal Iduna in 3rd without much results recently. Instead teams like Becherovka did okay in Bayern and Baltic or Newton in Rio, Bianchi in Bulgaria or B&O in both Bayern and Bulgaria.
Risa still waiting for their first point of the season...

Kiserlovski still the best of the CT division. König and Meyer both climbed up a bit and fight closely for the 2nd spot and also Gautier came up a bit not far behind the duo.
Suaza then ahead of Pinot, which both dropped a bit.
Breen with a strong season as well while Kluge as best cobbler dominated in that terrain with no other rider coming close. Ben Nasser and Di Magio next while Delvaux comes with depth again, Kadri, Guarnieri and also Vichot and Van der Haar all with decent points. That said, Guarnieri still THE underperformer of the season or at least CT division. Similar Modolo, who could have scored so much more than 18th spot for him.

Really awesome to see we're still in promotion position, I was really worried as the latter part of the season is far from favourable, but Kireva was strong in Benelux and depth was solid in Colombia, it's just enough to keep us in that safe line and might have been decisive.

Valio struggling, I did not see that coming. But that Delvaux roster sure looks nice.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I predict we will finish 7th.
We didn't score nearly enough in the TT's earlier and with the races still coming up it would be quite a surprise if we finished top 5.

Consistently below average, that ends up resulting in last place :/ but 17th is definitely in the reach, will have to see

Great to see Delvaux (expectedly, though) promoting. It was always going to be Guarnieri against the rest, but a likeable manager, who took a gamble with a very expensive rider for the CT is nice. Shows that there are multiple ways of getting about. And a few decent talents to move up to the PCT aswell like Goncalves, Zahiri, Wouters and De Bondt - Althought it will take some rebuild to survive.
Valio on the other hand, basically already ready to survive with a few aging riders who still doesn't decrease.
Also well done to Rothaus for being ahead of 4 teams who had the time to settle in.
I'm quite happy to be leading the Amateurs ranking. It's always nice to attend something new, enjoy it, and even win it. It was quite interesting to take part of, and I definately hope I'll be re-invited next season where I might want to take a different approach.
I can give a bit of a heads up to CT managers next season - Riders like Kip and Tleubayev are simply too good to not sign at minimum wage. The combination of Sprint and Prologue stat can be used a number of times... Tleubayev would also make a very good leadout.
Fingers crossed that Risa will get atleast 1 point

Very, very good period for us, highlighted by the Benelux performance of course! Nice to sit top of the rankings, and looks like this will go right down to the wire between us and Valio. We've only doing 144 race days as well, so it's even closer than the projected points suggest.

For sure it'ill take some rebuilding, I don't expect to re-sign more than 5-7 riders, so it'll be a hectic transfer season once again

Im a bit bummed that Zalgiris is last. Expected more from the former evonik duo on the hills 
Valio and Delvaux cruising clear at the top but the promotion fight behind looks quite open with quite some teams still in reach of the top 5 to 10 positions..
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

By the way. Risa must have some points...
Guytan Lilholt got 2nd place in the KBC De Panne Tour, stage 2. Should give 12 points. 28th GC should give 2 points. 6th in the points competition should give 2 points.

Hmm, don't like how far behind we've gotten in the rankings. We need a really good performance in ToA now to get back on track! |

Well, as usual, fighting at the bottom of the table...really not sure what I need to do to get to the top. Not sure if its luck or just the growing strength of the CT. Next season I will bring in Peter Sagan to win everything for me

Not too bad for the first season. I hope to get a solid finish and maybe next season I won't mix up a rider with his brother. |
