Not much going on for us before we get to the pain of more Senechal.
Terrible squad at Tachira but props to them for being in the break nearly every day.

Really great result for us in Paris-Nice with Verona 5th and then 14th and 19th as well resulting in a win in the Teams Classification! Been very happy with how Verona and the climbers we riding so far.
Bilbao also a decent start in the 2nd stage in Istrian. Hopefully he can convert that into a Top 5 or, at the least, a Top 10.

So Far so good, Formolo hopefully can keep his 8th place in Tachira
Little dissappointed about PRL. Good result for Battaglin in Roma Maxima

At first I had hoped it was just bad positioning by Tao, but he simply didn't have the legs on stage 8.
Nice to see Cav on a winning streak.

Mixed feelings here, sure second place is great for the World Cup, but the way GVK dominated that sprint, it feels like he could've done more on the Poggio. Congrats Vali!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Love that 2nd in Istria for Luca, Moser as always is a pain in the ass but mopping up 2nd behind him is ok by me. Nice stage result on day 3 for JAV as well.

Tao was doing better on stage 9, 4th overall is his best GC result ever. Not a single breakaway appearance by any of our riders, though, so few depth points.
Sagan 4th in MSR, shame he couldn't quite outsprint Yates. But another excellent finishing sprint by Leigh Howard, best of the main sprinters. Phew, 4th and 8th, that was a successful first focus race.

Horrible stage 9 by Chamorro in Tachira - he looked exhausted right from the start of the video, no clue what he has been doing before. Really bad to drop 2 spots there...
Stage 10 was brilliant, though - he unfortunately launched his sprint a tad early and couldn't pull through, but 2nd is a great stage result. 7th in the GC in the end is a nice result for him, we can be happy with that.
Besides Zabel, the rest of the team was virtually inexistent, though. They rarely joined breakaways, and seemed to never be supporting Chamorro. Unhappy with that - a bit of a depth result would have been great given that it was a focus race. But as said before, Zabel and Chamorro did their jobs mostly well, and we leave Venezuela with a much better feeling than last year!

Thanks for the great job so far Shonak!
A bit disappointed Nibali didn't get his stage win, but great showing from him regardless in Tachira! |

The puncheurs had their day in MSR, and that was never going to work out for us. We needed a sprint to achieve anything. So, 16th for Langlois is definitely not what we hoped for, but not much we can do there.
Quiet race for us in Istrian too, but nice to see Saby at the front on the final day.

two top10 in Tachiria is something we should be happy...
Phinney still disappointing in his WC run, but that Sanremo doesn't help (two years in a row?)

Another good job from the team to round out Istrian with 5th on Stage 3, a Zabel’d stage win on the final stage for Sanz and a 7th overall from Bilbao.
Thank you for the great pace Shonak!!
Really happy with how my team is performing as a whole.

Fun outing in Istrian Spring with Windischbauer even getting a Top 10. An absolutely fantastic performance in Milan San Remo with a podium by Yates and 7th place by David Meyer. Hopefully that's just the start of a great career for the latter!
Thanks for the continued coverage Shonak.

Very happy Langlois could pull off the win in a race perfectly suited to his skillset. Very rewarding on the occasions where it all lines up.
Top 30 for McGuinness in Roubaix Espoirs as well. Hope to improve on that in future years.

We booked Dwaars door Vlaanderen so Dibben could captain a race and he finished 39th. To think we hoped he'd captain our cobbles team one day, instead we'll probably let him go at the end of the season.
