What a way to finish our first season! We are absolutely delighted with how things went at Vuelta a Colombia.
Julian Arredondo with a stage win and a 2nd in another one. He finished 7th in the GC and 4th in the points classification. Also, Newbury finished 3rd on stage 10, we have 3 other riders in top 25 (Ochoa 17th, Newbury 20th and del Mar 23rd) and we ended the tour in 3rd place as a team. Plenty of satisfaction to be found for us in this last race and plenty of things to consider for the next season.
A real asset to the game. Next year, with more experience, will be something to look forward to!

Hopefully Gomez can at least go ahead and take a Top 5-10, but with how PCM's AI has worked out so far, I could see it change the designated leader, and us finally getting nothing at all... Definitely NOT the race I was hoping for, especially with such a strong mountains squad.
Why is PCM15 so incredibly yet predictably stupid? It's actually even worse; it didn't replace Gomez as our leader by Mendes, who was decently well ranked, but by Chamorro... Thank you PCM for definitely breaking our season. But even for PCM it's amazing stupidity; I guess I've rarely seen anything worse than this. Sorry for the negativity, but it's really annoying to follow this shitshow in a goal race. Still find it hard to believe how stupid that game can be.
Time to switch to a newer PCM #hatemeoldmgpcm15hardliners
Yes, a newer PCM version is more logical, so the results |

Awesome job by Yates in the last two months to win where it doesn't matter for the WT rankings

Underwhelming fall classics season by Martin. Not the right way to end his career, but maybe confirmation he's making the right decision.

Shame about Dan Martin, reminds me of Philippe Gilbert two seasons ago, he also spent his final season in the CT and didn't do as well as expected.
@Abhishek: Team rankings aren't everything, wins are also important, I think. It'd be nice if we kept better track of them.

If we relegate, all the non-WT wins in the world will mean zero.

Thank you! More experience and a proper transfer activity this time around should help us on the road to becoming better. |

After a bit of delay World TTT Championships is posted.
We decided to run WC in France since in ICL history, France didn't have a chance to host one yet. City? Plouay.
TTT was taken on flat but quite long distance of 67 km. Hope I didn't mess anything up! Enjoy! |

wtf, 5th? okay I'll take it.
kinda dissapointing Chrono des Nations (11th, 14th, 15th) turning into 5th TTT is okay I guess

we started strong but faltered completely then. i think in 2-3 years we should be competitive again for ttts. gratz to grupo.

Given our less than stellar Chrono des Nations performance, bornze in the World TTT is great end of our season. Unfortunately we are short of promotion

But you have to work hard to get to the top. |

Grupo's dominance is quite frightening indeed, but we have 2-3 good talents and if I can get some additional firepower once Castroviejo declines, we could become more competitive again in 2-3 years I hope. We used to have a solid streak of medals in the first few seasons in the TTTs but somehow declined whereas other teams have invested a lot in this field.

Given that we have a list of wins in the ICL archive (excel file) - and hopefully someday on the icl website too, I think that would be a neat and doable addition to the monthly rankings, too. What are your thoughts on that bikex?

That hill in the middle really helped us  Incredible to get the Silver in the TTT! Grupo are a cut above so finishing second to them is no mean feat. Great job guys!
Thanks for the coverage and congrats to Croatia
