Just an ok month, but we did get out of the regulation zone so that's comforting.
Looking forward I'm really excited for the 3 races we got in April, and I'm hoping come May we can find ourselves closing in on our goal of a top 15 in the standings. Oh, getting that first win of the season would be nice as well.

That's great news, it won't be long until the Wall finally falls!

Thank god we have ridden so few days...
Actually just about where we wanted to be at this stage. Cobbles are drawing closer to an end but Thomas has more to give.
Iberia and the other top CT teams are looking very strong so a promotion spot (and our T3 goal) are probably out of reach already.
Still its a lot closer all-round than i had anticipated.
And the sub-par results should mean cheaper wages

15th so far is not bad. Some points away from the drop zone, hopefully we can continue this.

Hmm, not as good a month as I hoped, but still high on the points per raceday, so I really hope I will start climbing soon. Need to get higher, might have to do some major changes if I can't promote :/

At this rate, the few top 10s and stage wins we've had, aren't going to be enough. Relegation is going to be hit and miss, as there's only a few teams that I'm confident we'll finish ahead of...
The sprinters need to deliver soon, but May's the first chance they'll really get.
As for the PCT promotion battle, it's hard to pick Favourites. If Bellis can deliver for Rothaus, they could well be on the way up, and Tinkoff certainly look like strong candidates, same for Hollister.
I'd love to see BPost go up and give Pokerstars and Red Bull a good batte on the cobbles.

Well that was an absolutely awful month for us. Especially since as SN mentioned, we raced quite a bit.
We will need a lot better months ahead if we're not to relegate and I still think theres a shot, but this awful month makes it even harder.

More or less where I expected to be at this point of the season. Top20 in the standings, Midtable in the projections fits quite well with my predictions.

Hopefully our efforst will be enough at the end of the season. So far we're just on the right side of the line and I'm confident there will be some nice races for us. But others will have those races as well, so it will be a near thing.

Barely raced in March, if I remember correct, so no wonder the team is dropping on the rankings.

Disastrous month... Hope we can bounce back with Alentejo and Donetsk, which will be the start of Maksimov's season.

Solid month for me, would have liked Serebriakov to have done better in the Tour of Sochi, but Davis more than made up for that in Taiwan.
Less race days for me over the next couple of months so fully expect to drop down the rankings soon, especially if Rothaus and Tinkoff keep scoring like they have been recently. Just need to keep the points per race day average up. |

PCT: The top seven teams with over 20 points per race day are starting to reveal themselves. It's interesting to see ING slipping away on that ranking. Vueling and Bintang with a fair bit of work to do.
Bar Armavia it will be a real dog fight at the bottom I imagine. Evian really having a weak start to the year, the Napolitano strategy looks like it could be a dud.
CT: Gazelle, Iberia and Allianz are a cut above at the moment. I think Gazelle have got it right concentrating their talent on C2 races.
Area rankings: A lot more competitive this year, with a better spread of races T.CS and Rothaus are really scoring big in Europe. wow.

This turned out to be a good month for me, mainly due to the Tour of the Algarve .. My objective isn't to promote so do not worry me that is far from being a candidate, it is intend to stay in the top10 and for that we need more months like these ..
The next month may be important in the first two races to be two of our goals, although I think that we will fail miserably on both ..

An expected amount for the team this month. We're still atop the PpRd. Next month will be worse with only one race. Think we will fall out of promotion spots then but will be back in there the month after. With Moreno and Rodriguez only being at their expected level in 1 race each so far, they should start to give me more and more points later on. Lay has only had 2 race days so far aswell so things are really looking up. The PpRd currently puts us around 10th to 15th in the overal CT rankings. We have less race days but finishing around 15 there should be possible!

Thanks for the update SN!
Don't think promotion is in the cards for me at this point unless I can get Markus Eibegger to fluke some more wins (seriously how did he win a 3 day stage race that had David Arroyo?). I just don't think we have enough point scorers - we are due for a couple of terrible races soon.

I think no one expected this. A real shame.

@Smowz This is what we did in D2, but I doubt Napo will redeem himself a la Gaywood. |

Much better month than I expected. I think in April there will be another bad month for us before May, where we should score well again. Thanks for the update SN |

Bouygues are going in the right direction, we just need to keep going in that direction a bit faster...
