Meh, I trained GVK for this? All in all not bad of course, but we got 2nd last year without that training.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Thanks for all the reports guys!

Bardet's Ardennes campaign went pretty well, 5th, 5th, 2nd and very impressed he won a reduced bunch sprint at LBL, frustrating he couldn't catch Roux!
Adding his Strade Bianchi win the choice of hills training for Bardet looks like a good one.
Thanks for the reports.

Awesome ride from Martin in FW, not as many of those memorable crazy rides as we had in our last WT season so far but have to love them when they do happen even if they won't save us. And obviously a brilliant result from our guys in LBL U23, PBR ticking along well.

Congrats to Pureblack U23, Suntory Orangina will have to pull something out of the bag to retain the title.

Sorry for the absence, stuff got really busy for me again lately, and it will probably stay busy for a few months due to studies, tournament organizing, and other personal matters. I'll keep checking in whenever I can though, and I'll try not to disappear entirely.
Side note, happy for Morton in Tour of South Africa

Not happy with the ardennes classics. I don't think a break away rider was on the podium in any of them in all of ICL so far and now there are some in two races, including the win in LBL. Quite annoying
Sorry for the delay De Panne is posted now and rankings will come tonight! |

Senechal actually won something?! 
For once we also had some nice depth results in a cobbled race

De Panne was a safe call for focus races, and Phinney did what expected. I feared that he lost too much time in the first stage, but in the end it was enough. GC + points Jersey + 1st, 2nd, 3rd and top10 in stages for him + Stuyven and Broeckx should guarantee many points.

Very nice race for us in De Panne! Lavery just barely couldn't make the selection in stage 1, but he made up for it by attacking to win the stage and gain time on stage 2! Winning feels good.
He cleaned up with 6th in GC and 3rd in points, which I'd say is a quite good result with how strong the CT cobbles field is.
Continue to be disappointed a bit in Desjardin, but that's alright. Bennett winning a bunch sprint is nice to see, though with the break ahead is was pretty meaningless.
Big shoutout to Charles Logan of BB U23 for getting 2nd on stage 3 as well! He's the only guy on our dev team with a result this year. It was worth getting in the break. Maybe there's a mild future for them after all.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

The rankings were a pleasant surprise. Didn't expect us to be in 5th in both the full team and the U23s and leading the World Cup standings. However, the best part of our season is probably over, so this is probably as good as it'll get.
Thanks for keeping this running at such a fast pace guys

Thanks for the rankings update! Another fantastic month for us, all hail Peter Sagan. Argos comfortably ahead, KBC is waiting for Quintana.

Very disappointing to see GVA not even able to finish top-10 in a race where the cobbled level is so low. Nice to see Senechal performing a bit finally
Still third in the CT prestige rankings, let's hope we can hold on for another month (thanks for the update btw)

I'm guessing the main part of the season for my team is done now. Can only go downhill from here, but I never expected to be good anyway 
Thanks for the update

We couldn't even make it to second place with the mediocre results in the cobbled monuments. Third will be the high of the sason, now the drop from the stage races begins.
