Yeah, I had to learn that lesson too. I figured if I was going to ride WT, I might as well go for WC since Bikex was talking up the benefits during planning. But the competition is just way too high as a crappy CT team to get anything from it.

Bardet’s 2nd win this season at San Sebastian after a winless ICL19. World Cup focus this season going well, not going to overhaul Sagan though.

Andrew Fenn really going wild in Pologne. I just love Cymru's sprint squads that they bring to their races, usually very interesting to watch a sprint from their perspective. Too bad sutty is not following tho.

Krigbaum with his first ever win I think. A bit disappointed about Wellens though.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Yeah Trans Cycling definitely will promote, congrats!
6th from Schnaidt in the UK is fine, plus two more points scorer. We've had consistent Top 10s lately, exactly what I was asking for.

Pretty impressive stuff from Brenes to get a top 5 in Poland! Weak by Langlois to only get 8th in CT.2 though.

Good 2nd for Hofland in London, who is finally bringing some points in the bag.

Well, that wasn't expected - a win from Poels + another Teams Classification crown. Sadly our decision to compete in the Tour de France (which we want to forget) could cost us the chance of WT promotion

Congrats Poels, happy to see him win again!
Cuming 21st in RideLondon is about as good as it gets. The whole dev team in the last group, of course.

Finally we cracked the top 10 at RideLondon–Surrey Classic. But we are on a long dry spell of results. And as I see it we stand at 2-2 in our focus races therefore we need a really good performance in the last one. We also need to plan carefully the off-season to not remain on the bottom of the table next year. |

Guess we now know whether Herklotz is ready for the World tour

Not a bad result for us with 2 in the Top 10, just a shame it's the last two spots of it.

Nerz doing well in second after Herklotz again, let's hope he manages to stay on his bike in the second part of the race this time.

I'm not looking forward to facing Herklotz regularly in the WT next season.

Wow, did not expect that to happen! Some decent domestique work by Kreuziger on stage 4, setting the pace for quite a while, to then see Nerz attack at precisely the right moment. Shame he lost the sprint against Landa, but what a great day GC-wise. Kreuziger looked like he was taking the piss out of Herklotz there, chilling in his wheel. Classic Roman.
Stage six was all about damage control, and when Herklotz attacked, Nerz was strong enough to hold on, although he did look close to being dropped for a second there. Somehow he still managed to sprint past his fellow countryman to ninth.
Winning the GC, the KoM and the points is very nice of course, so I am a happy manager. I feel bad for cio with a Herklotz shitty form on stage four, but "luckily" he's still second and didn't fall off his bike or something like that.
