Nothing for Team BP to cheer about, as expected, no points from the TTT. Altogether meagre final two months of the season with some bad luck and some exposed weaknesses. But the last focus race went well, that was our main objective.

Super happy to finish so highly. I expected a bottom feeder type season this year, but we had a great second half to pull ourselves up to the top 10 in CT and top 25 in prestige. Proud of what we managed this season despite committing so much to roleplay.
BB U23, on the other hand, clearly needs a revamp.

Mid-table safety confirmed in our first pro tour season, now have to resolve the sponsor situation and figure out what comes next.
Very proud of our all TT U23 team managing not to be last.
Thanks for the update.

Too close for comfort in the end in terms of position but we survive. I thought I had strengthened the team actually but seems not. Going by the World Cup scores, it seems we have become a classics specialist team. Yates really has lost a lot this season. despite improving stat wise! Very good performance from our dev team though. Hope we keep that going in the future as well,
Thanks for another season Bikex and everyone working on reporting. Also thank you for the final rankings
Congrats to the division winners as well

Good season for us, with the big goal fulfilled. Next year we could make a good attack with vdp and pulido slowly maturing. writing this from prague airport, try to do wc races tmrw.

Breakthrough season for Bardet, winning one day classics and La Vuelta, finishing top of the Prestige Ranking.
Suntory U23 were pushed very hard by Pureblack but managed to just stay ahead, next year will be a different story.
Thanks for all the work by Bikex and the reporters.
Looking forward to the new season with Renault as sponsor.

I guess the fact that we narrowly managed to avoid relegation means this was a good season for us, so overall I'm pretty pleased.
We definitely need to further improve our squad for next season if we want to get close to a Top 10. Villella was by far our best rider this year, eventhough he was terrible in October but that was probably good for his wage anyway.
Thanks a lot to Bikex and all the other reporters for running yet another great season, looking forward to the next one.

We finished last as it was predicted. Sadly we confirmed that pre-season prediction. We have a lot of work on our hands now to not repeat the performance next season. |

Apologies - work is very demanding and i currently have 5 business trips lined up for all september. I try to find some time between personal and professional life but don' tknow when I can do it. @Dominox if you find some time on your side please let me know.

To be honest I'm not quite sure what Desjardins just won. Clearly not the toughest competition, but still obviously happy to see him getting a win!

The qualification race for the main event, I don't think you can officially count it as a victory. What counts is the the combined results of all riders from each nation. Canada will surely be in the "real" WC ITT, 1st, 3rd, 8th, 16th.
The top 10 or 12 nations by prestige points qualify automatically, Bikex includes a table for that in the Ranking updates.

Season wrapped up. Guess one's ICL sprinter was inspired by his real life counterpart.

Team Holland definitely messed up their sprint preparation for Danny. Also GVK crashing was sad.
What about the U23 races?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

U23 online now. Had a wrong selection for the races (24 year olds included) and had to re-do. Frustrating finale for Spain in the U23 race, all the better in the time trial though.

Hard to beat the perfection that is Cyrmu's sprint train.

Damn, Scott McGuinness is already making his case to be the Irish Cancellara.
