Lavoine once again ultra strong. Janiaczyk with a good leadout but Lavoine is unstoppable this year. Congrats to your 500th victory this year!
Thanks 
Janiaczyk really over performed here and good to see my "500th victory" go through _D
Lavoine might be able to take the overall standings at this pace

Lucky Luke is quicker than his own shadow!
Anthony Lavoine was our leader in this C2HC stage race, which suits the abillities of an sprinter to the fullest. Given his earlier success in Circuolo de Juarez, a race which can easily be compared to this, we see that he will fight for the GC. He was accompanied by a decent leadout train and took full advantage of that winning the first two stages!
Something was set to fail after this success and since we haven't won 3 stages in a row yet, this was perhaps time to beat that. Stage 3 saw his getting punched in the face and we saw ourselves being beaten finally. Following stages lead us to eventually losing the GC by 2 seconds with only 1 stage to go.
On the last stage controversy was a good word for it, as Lavoine was given the same time as the riders ahead, even though there were a clear gap to them. This also meant Lavoine took the GC back and won La Tropicale Amissa Bongo! With this we are save to call Lavoine for Lucky Luke and we might meet the Dalton brothers some time soon!
Lavoine increases lead in the Rankings and we're now 3rd

Julien Berards proves his worth
Tour of East Java is the shortest stage race in the MG Calendar and includes a flat sprint stage and a mountain stage. We sent the french quartet of Lavoine, Drujon, Feillu and Berard to Indonesia. After a confusing first stage, where Drujon took the 4th place of that stage. We finally reached for the GC favorites day in the mountains.
Here Berard attacked on the final climb and when he has taken initiative, he has gotten the best results. He needs to set his own tempo and doesn't have the strength for longer attacks. Julien Berard has had a decent season, but missing the Top 10 several times. Today he wanted it different and a long break from racing for the GC, now suited perfectly!
Another highlight was the will Julien had today and he rode like a champion playing it's final game, but today this was his game and no one should interfere when that happens! The KoM were also secured for Julien and extra points would be a nice addition. As you've probably guessed Berard won the stage and hence the GC of our 3rd GC of the season!

As one of the first team to reveal their 2016 jersey and as a polish team, we were approached by the polish magazine Fakt, to do some interviews with them. We now got our hands on two of those done! One features manager Robert Pluckinski and the second our very own Pawel Poljanski. In the interviews our future plans are mentioned and overall we're hyped for the upcoming season in 2016.
RP Interview
Congratulations with a good season so far and by the looks of it promotion, how do you see polish cycling in the future?
- Thanks and yeah hopefully our current points reach far enough as promotion goes! We are at the moment 3 teams focusing within the polish boundaries and by the looks of it there might be 3 teams in PCT with an polish focus! That just shows the magnitude of the level of polish cycling and there are some prospects to keep it that way.
What has been the best experience throughout this season?
- Definitely winning 3 stage races are a huge accomplishment and we shouldn't forget that some PCT teams still don't have a single one! Our small french core has carried us much and the polish foundation has given these a chance to shine. We started on a fragile point and with two stage wins back in Australia, that really gave us a lot of confidence.
Why the change of sponsors, given the huge success of this season?
- The answer to that question is simply that we're all human and men are drawn to money today, without those means there are no foundation of anything to stand on. Fablok has been amazed by our results and even despite a deep financial crisis they remain one of our biggest sponsors next year. We have promised them that any chance of this, will mean the insertion of a clause in our contract with Arrinera, where Fablok will be reinstated as main sponsor.
What is in the making for the future?
- We have close contact to our current roster and everyone has been given an set of expectations, these shall be fulfilled for them to continue on the team and so far the tight approach has given unexpected fruit. We also have our sight on several possible captains for a PCT team and we're very excited to start negotiations with those. We are currently not that certain of getting involved in the Flandriennes either next year and instead we have taken inspiration from teams like Good Energy and Gazelle to develop similar teams.

The Archive has been updated and this is our accomplishments so far! 3 GC wins, 14 stage wins, 13 podiums and 6 'Top 10 finishes' is the sum of this table. Very strong first season and this is even though our expensive hill squad has failed this year! We are currently preparing for Tatranska Klasika and then we will go for the win in Herald Sun Tour!

Thats an icredible season right there! 
Lavoine is surely CT signing of the season, atleast. Even picked up from FA at such low wage, what a monster!
Congratz by the way, look forward to racing you in the upcomming season

Looking at the results so far, it has been great for you!
Very jealous of the number of French riders who have pulled off results for you, especially when I missed them, discounted them or picked others over them when it came to transfers

"Not a Sprinters Team!" - sgdanny 2015
The team is quietly preparing for the 2016 Season and new sponsor Arrinera is making sure their investment is a successful one. As part of the preparation process a transfer plan has been finalized and the stat increase has been settled for this season too. It seems most likely that we will promote into PCT and with that in mind we have a clear message.
We're not gonna be focusing on being a permanent threat in the sprints and Anthony Lavoine will be our leader in PCT in that field for next season. Instead we have shed light on our previous plan of focusing on the hills and beside that we're also looking to invest in some climbers. So the question begs if we want a participation in America next year or if we're going to apply for a GT wildcard!
America will give us a race our captain should be able to compete for the good GC placings and overall be the more "secure" option of the two. A GT will be more uncertain and inspiration from Buff and ONCE have led us to this opportunity, showing worth of an effort to accomplish. Overall questions will be answered after the Transfer Season and we're as prepared as we'll ever get!
Stat Increase
Pawel Poljanski
We only have one rider available for stat increase and that is Pawel Poljanski! He has just returned from a loan spell from Karcher-Adira, where success wasn't really the word. Now he is looking for a PT loan in the next season to be fully maxed and here we hope he can get a GT under his belt in the process.
The plan is to make him the first polish rider to get 80+ in the mountain stat, when the day comes he is eligible to get trained. This is long in the future and there might come someone more suitable, but Poljanski will after his PT loan be a man that will stay for this team as long as possible!

Michal Kwiatkowski would probably be the best rider to train to a 80+MO rider from Poland, but I guess he won't be that easy to obtain
Poljanski with 75/75 would be very interesting for most PT teams I suspect. Atleast we would be happy to give him a GT chance if things add up. He has the quality to go away on breaks, and should be a good domestique for any team with a good GC captain - Like Spilak

Yeah Kwiatek would be a dream and if he were mine I would've trained him in his hills
Good to know and you're not the first to say that

Poljanski is a nice rider for the future. He'd be great with an 80Mo/77Hill combo, but that's a long term investment. Maybe it'll be easier to get Kwiatek first.
Well done on a great year so far!

Yeah sadly that doesn't seem possible with Kwiatek, but yeah always good to have a plan for the future. I cross fingers for some new polish talents to be added, otherwise it doesn't seem that good of an investment in polish cycling.

Nice talent in Poljanski indeed, should be a useful PCT climber when maxed out. Speaking about that, you know who are your eastern european friends for PT loaning, right?
Very good season for Fablok in first year of existence, i am always happy to see more teams from eastern europe on the rise, so i am glad that you will promote to PCT.

I didn't go for Poljanski and I have mixed feelings about him., great Polish talent, but the wrong team. Best of luck with him though.
Although if more Polish talents are added (fingers crossed ) there'll probably be a lot of clashes...

@Avin : Of course not Poljanski is a long term project and I hope that we won't cross paths often in the transfer season.
@trek : Yeah we can't do as we did last transfer season, so I'm afraid it's all out war between us concerning the talents... Don't see us coming between each other in other matters though

Arrinera targets...David Abal
Abal secures 5th in the Vuelta
A recent board meeting concerning the future and the plans for PCT for next season has just been concluded. Our manager Oliver Danniak agreed that starting planning the next season asap and now we're ready to announce our primary target in the FA market. David Abal will go on the FA market because of his team disbanding at the end of the season.
Buff was always going to be an idol from the start of our project and in our inspiration of the team, our plan is to take some of the riders to a polish team and create a team worthy of their memory in the MG. Our prior success in the mountains haven't been the greatest, but we do take a Mountain race GC with us to PCT.
We will not reveal more of our intentions for the upcoming Transfer Season, but we can see a lot of interesting teams promoting with us! Especially Compal and Strava are two teams we very much look forward seeing in the PCT and their teams got some interesting choices to make!

The season is nearing it's end and the team is currently racing the last stage race of the season in Ruta America del Sur. Next thing in the telescope is the Renewals and the riders have had an year to show if they're worthy of promoting with us. We do want to secure some more talents for PCT next season, so room has to be made for new captains and new helpers.
This season has shown us many things and also we now have a ambition of creating a better squad for PCT. Plan A is pure wishing and perhaps also the most obvious plan. However there are literally no teams that get their Plan A fulfilled and we just hope it won't end up at Plan Z! (Zombies)
We're abandoning the Slovenian country this year completely and France will be our second nation instead. This means that our current French riders already are a good start on that project. Our main focus is still on Poland and that will probably never change.
Riders Leaving
Contract
Klemen Stimulak
Adrian Kurek
Blazej Stimulak
Markus Kilsgaard
Gasper Svab
These guys have not met the cut for our PCT squad. We will prior to the Transfer Season post our Transfer Listed riders. Now our main focus is on Ruta del America and Metzgete!
