No real massive early gaps - QS, Venchi and Bacardi have started solidly enough Venchi quite spectacularly at the TdU.
The CTour is completely unpredictable In-and-Out certainly not a team I would have picked out to be so high up come the end of the year. Great start for the French teams in PCT and CT.

Mmm, despite being unlucky, still 5th. Not unhappy about that, though we won't be racing for a while now.

Started from the bottom now we here. 
Now time to stay in a promotion place for the rest of the season and pick up that MG Manager of the year award in January.  All of you are about to witness the biggest turnaround ever.

In a relegation places but we have raced less than the teams around us I think plus we have taken a stage win and Overall lead in Tour of Oman thanks to Hutarovich 
I remain optimistic for now

Well so far the predictions for my team are about correct. I don't expect to move up either.

Kinda decent so far, although we still benefit from the 40pprd DUC of course. One good Ciolek race, one bad Ciolek race means we have room for improvement as the rest of his races are (hopefully) more predictable than South China Sea.
On the other hand, Tachira went better than expected, so Nerz has to keep that up, too.
Only three points scorers for us so far, our depth kicking in sooner or later will aid us a bit as well, although we soon have our first of quite a few C2 races where our pprd will certainly drop temporarily.

The youngsters are doing great, 12th but when you count racedays, we're safe in the top 10!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Not surprising, and this is where early projections had us anyways. PpRD was pretty atrocious for us, but that has much to do with the amount of flat stages in Tachira, so I am not too concerned. I see us moving up into the top 20 once we get some decent C2 GC results. Still early in the season.

In our position right now, Im pretty happy. I can only see our sprinting results improving or atleast staying course and we haven't really had too many hilly Races or climbing races yet to take into account in the rankings, where I think we will also slowly move up into a (hopefully) Top 5 spot (although Oman and South Africa are in progress)

Not the best of starts, but how things are going in South Africa we could be moving up pretty soon. Hopefully that should push us up into the top half for now. |

Looks like the only way is up!
Interesting to see how the rankings are panning out already, very early in the season to tell who's doing well and who's not but there have been some definite surprises so far (yes sutty, I am looking at you )

Bad january was expected thing for Metinvest, so at least some points for the start are nice, especially thanks to Rabon. Worse is, that we are shite in February too so far, teams like La Vie Claire or Meijii are further and further and these were seen like biggest rivals for top 6-10 places. Hopefully it will get slightly better when Ignatiev and Popo start their seasons...
Thanks for the nice update SN!

We're right there were the predictions placed us, but I'm afraid of how it will look after February. Small point hauls in South Africa and Oman won't look good on the PPRD-ranking... :/ |

Hopefully South Africa's low points haul will be tempered by Oman, but we were so anonymous there that it's hard to know.
