Planning all the riders I'm gonna dump and try and be a decent team next year...

Dropped a spot after hopes of going up before the Vuelta. The time may be right to trade off Mollema.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Hm Bunzl really close in the prestige rankings, hopefully we get some good results in the two hilly classics to get brewers off my back.

This is gonna be close. Oh! Two hilly races to go, got to put Italo as favourites as they have Nib and Nib has won pretty much everything this season.
Have to admit I didn't expect to lose 500 points to Italo in that month, with a great Vuelta as well. Shows how valuable cramming guys into the top 20 in the Vuelta is.
Would be great if Prorace and Italo were separated by a few points going into the WTT championships, with both teams being pretty equal that would be one awesome finish!  |

| Team | | 1 | 1 |  | Prorace - La Boulangère | WT | 11032 | | 2 | 2 |  | Italo - Ventilair | WT | 10727 | | 3 | 3 |  | CarbonSports Cycling - Lightweight | WT | 10652 |
I did not thought that i could get this close again after the start of the season was not really perfect. Here's the remaining schedule for the three teams:
| ProRace | Italo | CarbonSports | | Milano Torino | - | Caruso, Lutsenko | - | | Bucaramanga | Gilbert, VDB | Nibali, Vanendert | Sagan | | Paris-Tours | - | - | Kittel | | Il Lombardia | Gilbert, VDB | Nibali, Vanendert | Sagan, Geschke | | Chrono des Nations | - | - | Gretsch | | Japan Cup | Gilbert, VDB | Nibali, Lutsenko | - | | World TTT Champs | Σ 511 | Σ 506 | Σ 474 |
ProRace surely the favourite with 3 Gilbert Races left and i dont think that Nibali can get so many points more than him. I doubt that i have chances to overtake ProRace but if Nibali shows some weaknesses then i could at least finish 2nd.

Bardet has a couple of races left so hopeful Eurosport can hang on to 10th spot in WT which would be fantastic for our first season.
Pierre Gouault climbs an amazing 38 places in the U23 after his win at Avenir.

If Carbon Sports take the crown it'd be absolute bonkers 
Nibali for Velo d'Or, no doubt about it imo.

Can't actually see the rankings but I've been told I have a pretty good lead over Alitali, thanks De Gendt, Chavenal and Pelluchi.

It is looking pretty secure for Saeco in the WT I think. I am not super happy with the season - we would really like to break into the top ten next season. We are bottom of a tight race between 12th and 14th best WT team which I can take. Certainly the second best Italian team - and I would take a bit of pride in the Nationality rankings if Italy can hold off France
Ecopetrol and UNHCR at the moment looking to go the way of the dodo. Not exactly sure what the scenerio is with promotion and relegation still. Is it best four of the CT go up and worst four of PT go down (all on prestige ranking basis?)

Team Talansky drops a bit in the rankings, but I think that we're still in for a good position.
Hopefully a good transfer season can get us CT top ranks next season

The 3 worst in the PT ranking go down, the 3 best CT teams of the prestige rankings go up I think. Not sure what will happen if there are teams giving up though.

Well I guess, in that case, I follow brewers into the last month with Piccolo Lombardia
https://pcmdaily.c...st_1158945
Spoiler Great result for Navarro in his last U23 race. It was strange bc VDP was actually solo chasing Navarro and almost caught up to him but the Spaniard got away whilst VDP bonked. Engeldinger with a late move tried his best but couldn't shake off the mark.

O shit I forgot the preview. Will try to make it tomorrow.
Thanks brewers and Shonak for the results. Great race for Italo at Milano - Torino with Caruso in 4th. Also decent result for Pintzopoulos but his chance to get 2nd in the U23 ranking is probably gone with Navarro winning the race. At least 3rd should be reached ahead of Davies. |
