Why would you lead out Chavenal?!
maybe because he was ahead in points? oh well, that I cared about the result the least and I still got a stage win, a third, 6th in GC and 3rd in Points, not amazing (especially compared to Eurosport Pepsi, congrats DavetwoBob) but allright, and considering that most teams have done more races then me, I'm not bad in the rankings.

A slight drop in the rankings this month but some great results in the ACT. Gesink 4th overall, Bovenhuis with a breakout performance for 5th in the youth and top 20 GC, Boy getting some good sprint placings and even Yamato getting some points from the break.
Full monthly update should come either late tonight or tomorrow.

Omloop and first two stages of Eritrea up.
Finally a cobbled race with a decentish AI and the CT race with probably the weakest lineup - Some easy points for the CT teams there and a lot of U23 teams in the spotlight. |

Good race by Vanbilsen, even beating Sagan in the sprint
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Not bad from Degenkolb, getting 2nd of the bunch sprint. Was hoping for a better result though. |

Dissapointed by Breschel in Omloop, felt as if he could have gotten a better result |

Ah, just when I think my team's on the up, the classics team remind me of how shocking they are. I suppose it's more to do with the fact that there was a bunch sprint but it would be nice if Thomas was in front of the peloton, which he should be able to do with his ability.
Another good sprint result in Eritrea, this time McLay. I'm not sure why Doull didn't even bother though. Getting cocky

Nice. A cobbled classic was won by a favourite
I can be satisfied with 3 guys in the top ten. My great depth without the top star was represented by that Result.
I had to look three times to notice that Eritrea is not a DT race
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!

A podium in Boonen's first race for us. We don't repeat our Omloop victory of last year but, hey, we are more than happy with that one.
This could be some month for us. Hoping we can see the WC jersey in Gilbert's season debut at the Strade Bianchi, will be interesting to see how Wiggins goes at Paris - Nice, that course does look great for him.
- trekbmc - I wouldn't complain too much at that, you are off to a great start. |

First stage in Eritrea and youth team gets 2nd, 6th and 7th. What a sprint train!
Kozhatayev in 10th on stage 2 is also good

And now a win for Scott Davies.
This season is going sooooooooooooooo much better than last year now that everyone's a year older. Gives me more motivation to stick with youth and my 'five-year plan'.

FC Porto U23 Team is doing extremely well.
Kozhatayrv with 11th in the GC, Beckinssale with three top 10s, Bauhaus with a stage win, a 2nd place and a win in the Points classification. Bauhaus-Beckinsale-Wouch-Kragh the ultimate CT sprint train.

I'm good with Oss' 15th place at Omloop, didn't expect anything more, even though I was quite hoping for a top 10, but thinking again I realised that with such a bunch already getting a top 20 is a nice effort

Some great results for U23 teams in Africa there. Not long to see where my hilly squad can go, they were pretty abject in Majorca so hopes are not high.

Seems legit

You need some help on those?
The reason I'm just messing around here ist that Devenyn's Top50 finish is not satisfying nor surprising.
