Includes:
| Tour de Luxembourg Transfagarasan GP | Vuelta a Guatemala | Philadelphia International | Giro del Capo |
A strong period for both Bianchi and Pirelli, who have scored 666 and 661 points respectively. For Pirelli, this helps them rise 10 places from 18th to 8th. For Bianchi, it has allowed them to break into the battle for the top. But what else would you expect after 2 HC race victories?
All season its been Rapha vs Jayco RB. But while Jayco RB still lead, Bianchi now climb to 2nd - although Rapha remain close and did not race as much in this period. California Giant have also closed their gap to the top to around 500 points, but moving into the final definate promotion spot in 5th, Pokerstars still have 1000 points to make up on the leaders.
Joining Pirelli in entering the Top 10 are Hollister - off the back of a hugely successful Guatemala. Vespa are also on the up, to 14th, after Ginanni scored a rare victory in Luxembourg. Meanwhile, consistent scorings see Saab-Scania into the Top 20, at the expense of Proximus-Trek.
Being the 4th best team in this period helps WWE up 4 to 22nd, as they start to leave the 'bottom battle' behind. And while Giro del Capo was not as successful as they hoped, Cerne are now off bottom - just ahead of Oz Cycling.

Individually, and Bellis still leads. Extended slightly by Capo, but it wasnt a great race for him - infact, the lead is less overall as Alarcon did better in Transfagarasan. A win there could have taken the Venezuelan top.
Bennati and Davis close the gap in 3rd and 4th, while De la Fuente is up to 6th, and Ginanni up to 8th. Claeys, Di Maggio and Rabon also on the climb.

Oh dear. I hoped that the strong result in Transfagarasan would move us up a little bit, but apparently our bad results in the other races costed us way too much.
As I've said before, I sure will rebuild my team for the next season.

I like the new arrows idea, but I dont like the one beside my team.

Still in the lead? That's really great and other than Bianchi I don't see many teams making huge sudden inroads. Liking the arrows - but like that no arrow is next to Jayco Red Bull.
Bianchi have had a cracking couple of races, but you had to suspect they would - they have awesome strength in depth.
The Canadian stage race takes a bit of added significance with trio involved. Mind you Roche is the favourite - I guess Pirelli are on the charge.
The plunge to the bottom - and Oz Cycling hit it - not surprising though it is very tight down there no teams really bombing out as we have had in previous years.

I'm hoping a gap like that is enough to keep me in the top 5. I am also hoping that Koren starts scoring some more points.

It's nice to still be in the top 10, but it's incredible close. We could really end anywhere between 5th and 18th, and I'll be very satisfied if we can hold on to a top 10. Pirelli seems to be going very strong at them moment, and if they get Roche going aswell, they're one of the teams I think could challenge for 5th, and maybe even 4th.

I hope the next period is even better, but that would be hard to manage. Really lucky with crashes, strong team and weak field in Guatemala. More "free" points, please!

Not doing too badly considering you used the lowest amount of salary cap of any team!

Hehe! Well, having a 500K salary limit (by free will, mind you!) proves difficult, and means I lack a real leader. But I do have quite a catch of useful riders that get's the job done, to some extent. 
Nobody should be surprised to see my team trying to get a better leader next season.

Obviously I climbed down the ladder after Boom and Hermans failing in Luxembourg due to heavy AI issues.
Hope there will be more success in Beauce, Hainleite etc. to go up again. |

Only dropping one place is brilliant. If I can delay dropping down the rankings for a while then I might well be in the top 15 for my goal.
And as the others have said I like the new style.

Just looked at my race calendar, and I've got barely any HC races left, my best riders have used most of their race days, and I'm heavily concentrating on 2/3 races.
Looks like I'll be dropping down the rankings for the next few months 
And I'm 2/4 on my goals so far, just got the one left to fail in  |

I like the new format too. Looks pretty cool.
An OK jump for Vespa. If the AI hadn't failed in Capo and Carrara hadn't fallen in Guatemala we'd be a few places higher I think. Hopefully, that is all our bad luck done with and we can concentrate on moving up.
Pozzo and Ginanni have ten races combined left that they're in to win still. Having said that, they've already raced 8 with mixed results. |

Even though Beauce is turning out to be a massive failure, then I can't complain too much about it. It's wonderful that the team has in just a few races closed the gap to my main competitors for top 10! There is defiantly more to come from Pirelli, since I in the next 8-9 races or so have at least one strong guy to lead the team in.
I actually believe now that top 5 is reachable, though the AI' could be my doom - just like it has been for several others so far.
Nice to see Bianchi up there fighting with Rapha and Red Bull for a change while Bpost is during really well to still hold of their high spot despite the cobble season being well over. Great work about that graph SN - Really appreciate the effort
