Shit month.
Thing is, doesn't matter which position I end up, as long as I don't relegate, which so far looks good. With my squad, not relegating to me is a miracle.
Also it look okay for me to complete Africa Top 5 goal which would be nice. 2 goals completed, with 3 close misses that should still give nice amount of money isn't bad for first year.

Finally above relagationzone but I´m worried about the ranking in PPrD table...
Thanks for the update!  |

Happy with that, I have a feeling that we can ave another good month and maybe even break into the top five once more.
Also think that the Tour of America will be some of the CT teams' downfall, with lots of hard C1 race days. |

While most teams have started their sprints in the bottom half of the tables we keep scoring as we have all season. And that's not too good. But as I said in my HQ there are some races on the calendar that might give us a nice bump.
It's going to be so very close for us, I just hope to stay up so I can build up my young squad some more in big races

I don't think promotion is in the cards for us. Fair enough because I made about 500 stupid mistakes in between the signing phase and the planning phase. It was a good learning experience for sure, and I think I can come back next year with a better idea of how to succeed in the CT.
Promotion chase in the PCT is intense! Hopefully it goes right down to the wire!

By the time the inactive managers are taken out of the equation, thinks will look better promotion-wise for you. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up PCT next year. |

First of all, thanks for yet another amazing update SN. I agree with bjartne when he says these have added another layer of intensity to the game.
As for our standings, I think this was a good month with only 3 races, which allowed us to maintain our eyes in a top15 position. It is possible that from now onwards AirBaltic becomes our only real rival in the Team Ranks.
On the PPrd table I have to emphasize Froomedog's words: Tour of America is probably going to mean a big bias for a lot of teams. Many of us are looking at those 21 stages as 21 opportunities to score, but in the end I'd say at least half of us will take a big tumble PPrd ranks.
That said, bring on August!

Not the best month. Slipped a little closer to the relegation spots and the ppd doesn't really look all that great either. One good race from a team below me and we will be in the relegation spots.
And damn you Evian. I suppose its not a huge loss since I only wanted to Top 5 the asian rankings, but a win would be a lot better.

Really tight season this one. You could make a case for any of the top nine to promote, of course activity pending.
I would also say anyone from 19th down are looking hard over their shoulders. Apart from Repsol that is, the only way is up!
Gazelle are a juggernaut, big candidates for team of the season.

Awesome month for Iberia, increasing the PPrD from 13,9 to 15,4. Congrats!
We managed to keep it close to 20, which is not an easy task. So good month for us as well.
Former third place favorites Allianz are slowly slipping away (13,3->12,7->11,7), opening up chances for rising star Kappa (12,1->12,6->12,8) and inconsistent Die Berg (11,6->10,9->12,0), who had a very strong July.
Mobil on the other hand seem to have wasted quite some racedays with a 1.5 PPrD drop (12,1->12,6->11,1) and now need to bridge a 0,6 gap to the top 5.
0,7 later we see the extremely consistent Kenya Airways (10,7->10,4->10,4) leading a group of three who are very close to each other. The other two are Magna (10,9->11,1->10,3), who had a bad July and slowly fading Ekspla (11,0->10,5->10,0). But all of these teams are still just one very good month away from the promotion spots.
BNCR, Boeing, Adira and Privatbank also still have a shot, but they need to hurry. Time is slowly running our for them.
It will be interesting to see what Adira does in August. Last month they were on 8 PPrD, now they are on 9,2, and they just had a very good start in the FBD Éire Tour. Can they continue this trend?
Below Privatbank it is starting to look grim. Cadbury, Barcelona, MTN and Risa might still have some hope left though and I would love to see some of them surprise us.

Thanks for the great update SN, i can feel the tension coming from the so close tables.
Not a very good month for us, but this slow slide to the bottom has to come sooner or later. We have most race days of all teams, but some will come empty handed from America, so i am still confident for top15 finish, at least relegation is out of the question for sure. And we finall jumped over HTC, our special goal.
Worse is our European circuit lack of results, as we have the goal there. Why i did not choose Africa, where we lead now? 
There are 8 teams i expect to fight for the promotion spots from the PCT to PT, these eight seems above the rest of the division. Also from these, i expect one team to be disbanded due to inactivity, so we can have seven teams in the fight for promotion, should be a great battle in closing weeks.
Meanwhile i have three clear candidates for relegation from PCT, with several teams also dangerously close. Good luck in their fights!

We had a better month for us compared to the previous but still there's no way we could archive the objective of 10 ppd.
I just want the season to end and be able to make some adjustments.

Much better than I had expected - and nice to finally be in top 5. Don't want to focus too much on that PpRD rating. Climbing towards the top  |

Not quite where I want to be, I think something special needs to happen with my team for it to promote, as the ppr continues to fall

Just compared some of my riders with last year...
Vantomme already collected more than 3 times as much. Surely my guarantee this season.
Boom actually collected more or less the same as last year. Even a bit more and as his season is almost finished it will stay around this. Quite surprising as last year he had more wins. Consistency I guess.
Bellis has less than half of last season but then again lots of races left. He won`t reach his 2012 results but good point scorer either way.

It is beyond me how you can have those three so good riders in one PCT salary cap. Good mix of leaders.

Well last year I only had Vantomme and Boom.
But Vantomme was on a 750k contract...this year he is just half of it and Bellis came out of a contract which usually helps your salary budget.
