13 points seems like a plenty big lead 
Should be a good competition through the end of the season. Heineken is doing very well in terms of season goals.

Ah well, Eddie Stobart sneaked back in to the top twenty but still way behind the leaders  |

Seems like the teams that have been around for a long time really got an upper hand. Not suprising considering that it in general is cheaper to retain riders than sign free agents.
Seems like the top 4 is set, will be interesting to see who ends up winning, Quickstep or Heineken

Thanks for the update SN!
This is actually first update, when i am starting to feel a bit optimistic about Metinvest starting the path out of relegation zone. We finally at least got more than 10pprd, which is a must, but not a standard for Metinvest. Monterrey played big role in that of course and we will still rely on our TT strength also in July.
We will now unleash Ignatiev on full throttle, that needs to be the game changer for us, or we are doomed.
Go Oz for that promotion spot, there is not team i would like to see there more! (well, not counting poor Metinvest)

Decent month for us. Van Stayen's performance in Ster ZLM Tour was really important after not having the best results lately. Hope we can step up our game even further in July and try to build our lead over Bacardi.
Thanks for the update!

Was not our best month yet not lose too much ground to the teams in front of us. Finish in the top15 remains a possibility but for that we need to start winning a few more points

Even though this month has been a bit disappointing with Intxausti's lacklustre performance in Andorra, we're finally starting to to get clear from 5th place. I still got a few race days on both Intxausti & Uran, and Ulissi still has most of his race days left, so top 4/5 should be very manageable right now.
Now i'm really looking forward to the Tour de France with both Intxausti & Uran.

As expected a difficult month for us...
CT promotion race seems to get a tough one.
Thanks for updating, SN!

Great to see we are still 6th after very few races in June, especially as many of the teams around us have had 20-30+ more race days at this point.
That relegation battle really could go right down to the wire. |

A slow month for AMEXpc with just 16 racing days and while not expected to be a very productive month we were able to hold on to 10th place in the PCT standings.
The gap is closing and July production needs to see Kump, Wenige and Taborre all rack up some points.
SN thanks for the June update. It is always exciting to see a standing update. AMEXpc seems solidly in the middle third of the PCT with no chance of promotion and only total collapse would see us fall far enough to relegate.
Team manager, Martyn Haly, sent out an e-mail to all of AMEX's scouts that PCT level talents will be out off season targets. Unlike previous off seasons where AMEX desperately bid on young potential stars, this recent memo assigned two key scouts to looking at veteran riders who may be available in the of season.
ManGame veterans will have already expected AMEX to be looking to upgrade punchuers. If AMEX can locate and sign a top tour GC contender then plans may change. Any plans to promote out of the PCT to the PT will have to see improvements on the uphill terrains.

Hardly any racedays recently, so staying near where we were is a decent outcome. We still have a decent buffer to the relegation spots but would be good to create a bigger cushion incase of a few bad races. |

Average month that, but should have been better to be honest. Fear I may struggle in the end of the season now...

Not many races but still a nice flow of points to be 15 PPRD isn't too bad a few really big races coming up for us in the next few races will decide how easy the fight against relegation willl be |

Not a lot of RDs, but 11 PpRD is fine by me, otherwise a somewhat quiet month other than the second place surprise finish.

Very bad month for us. But we still rank higher than expected and Monfort has most of his race days left, so team morale is still high. We will bounce back.

I'm always sad when I see Gazelle dropping back. I really want them to be a PT team as soon as possible, although I kinda knew that this was a transition-season for them.
It is really nice to see Oz targetting promotion by the way, if a person in the Man-Game section deserves the promotion it is tsmoha, with all that work and effort he puts into the game. The top teams are, imo, also the best teams in the division so not all that surprising. I suspect they will be very competitive in the PT once they go up also. Heineken, despite being the best team, might need a bit of developping in some areas, but the others are quite strong already for the PT.

21st and not too far behind the few team's just in front of us. It has been a long and disappointing season for the boys but we have a few stage wins and decent GC's to take from it. Would be nice to see us take a few more victories and a great GC or two to try and get us into a solid top 20. If we perform really well a Top 15 might still be in reach. Got 35 race days in which a few are stage races so hopefully we can do something.
Next year should be much better as we will have established riders already and should be able to bring in one or two big name riders to bolster our squad much like ONCE did for this season.
