July 2014
 - 2.HC - Tour of Austria
Cameron Meyers goal of the season and he doesn't dissapoint. He wins stage 2 and 3. On two other stages he's second. Overall he wins the GC and the points classification. Antonino Vinals end up on a very nice 3rd place.
 - 2.HC - Tour of Qinghai Lake
After a succesful Tour of Austria, Cameron Meyer entered Tour of Qinghai Lake as a favourite. And yet again he had huge success. He wins stage 5 and the GC.
However Meyer was not the only Swiss Life Tissot rider having success in China. The team completely owned the race. Besides Meyer, Smet and Gerhardsson had stage wins. Gerhardsson even had two, and also won the points jersey. And to complete the triumph, Marc marner won the mountain jersey. Smet ended up 3rd in the GC as well.
Conclusion:
Wow.. What a trip to China  .. Meyer shows his good form at the right moment and promotion are now very close. We're 954 points ahead of Euskaltel at 3rd.
Meyer moves up to 2nd in the individual rankings, behind Serikov.
Transfers:
Young talented time trialist Wilco Kelderman has been signed for the new season. Another new face is italian climber Gianluca Brambilla. |

Podevin wins the mountain time trial. Overall he ends up 3rd behind Cameron Meyer and Benjani Mpofu. Meyer wins the sprinters jersey.
 - 2.HC - Tour of Denmark
Gerhardsson wins stage 1, 2, 4 and 6. The swede end up winning the GC and the points jersey. Gretsch wins the time trial on stage 5. And in the GC Swiss Life Tissot has 5 in the top-10.

September 2014
 - 2.1 - Tour of China
Gerhardsson wins stage 2 and 5. Miron Serikov wins stage 6, 7 and 9. An epic battle between two of the futures top sprinters. Incredibly enough neither won the sprinters jersey.
 - WC - World Championships ITT
Patrick Gretsch wins it, so Swiss Life will wear it second season in a row.
Conclusion:
A lot of small one-day races without results to follow. Gretschs WC win and our great Tour of China saved the month.
3180 points in the continental rankings. Meyer, Serikov and Gerhardsson are the top-3 individually.
The team has racked up 47 wins this season.
Transfers:
Serikov have been lobbying for our team to sign young stage racer Shishenko from Ukraine. After watching him in some races we decided to sign him.

I'll sign Titus and Quevy... And currently considering signing Heed on recommendation from Gerhardsson...
I would really like another rider and preferably a climber.. So Salkjelsvik or Heed are currently being considered.
However four stage wins by Grimshaw is impressive! |
