America not as happy a hunting ground as Africa for us then. Very impressed with the performances of the 3 CT squads in the Top 5 though, less than half the budget and yet still competitive. And congratulations to Heineken!

Happy about 11th. Winning two American stage races in the last month surely helped getting that result. I guess this is my best regional rankings result. |

Utah really catapulted Nutresa up the Americas rankings here, without that would probably be more around 10th. Never thought we could get anywhere close in this ranking, compounded by not racing Tour of America. Really wanted to take the continental ranking as a goal to match with my team location, but thought it would be suicide! Just shows you never know. Gratz to Hieneken on the victory helping underpin their stellar season in PCT.

I expect we will be higher in Europe and Asia. Africa we did pretty well, almost completely because of Faso I think.

Meji winning Asia rankings, as it should be
Hmmm, for some reason I still think of Meji and Oz as the teams fighting at the bottom. How the world has changed

The Asia Tour is kind of a letdown for Vontobel. Know it would be tough to achieve our ranking goal, but missing it by quite a big margin is unfortunate.

America didn't go as planned, Asia was ok seeing as we only had one race there.
Oh, and Lierse - Pizza Ullo would like to repeat its request to be removed from the Africa rankings since we didn't race there.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Why does it matter? That would be a waste of someone's time.

Well, we weren't the worst Asian registered team in the Asian rankings, but we weren't far off. Will have to decide whether to target Asia next season when the new calendar comes out - our sponsors certainly hope we will. Congrats to Meiji, well deserved and a great follow up to last season's success here |

Quite happy with 15th in our home continent as second best CT team here. |

It's nice to see my focus on Asia paying off in getting us the spot as the top CT team there, just a shame we couldn't repeat last years success on the continent and take a top 10 ranking again.
That said we did worse this year, especially in the middle east tour where we took 3rd and 6th last season. If we could have repeated last years points tally we'd have finished 7th so we know there is still room for improvement there.

Well, we get listed as shared last, but we didn't race so we shouldn't be on the ranking. It's bad publicity and our sponsors aren't too happy with it.

Yes! This was what I wanted and I wasn't sure I was going to pull it off but we managed to do it at the very end!
Thanks all for the kind words, its certainly great to win the Asian Rankings.
