Leaving the relegation spots is a good start but it still looks really bad in the projected ranking.
Thanks for the update. |

We had a busy period between the last update and now which has seen us movie into 18th although the 23rd projected is not ideal, I do think we'll finish inside the top 20 because we do have a leader in every race day from now who should be capable of scoring points.
One thing I would like to point out is that the much talked about and forgotten Jérémy Roy is sitting in 109th in the rankings at the moment with a total of 123 points which is a quality return for his 60,000 wage. Hopefully he can score even more in the final part of the season to prove his haters and doubters wrong even further!!!!

It`s pretty okay because his wage is that low indeed! So a good catch for you.
But stat wise you would normally expect a lot more than this. That`s the main problem. The reason for such low wage is that all managers kinew about his stat->delivery problems. |

Quite happy to take the lead Hopefulyl we can keep it. None of our riders have really exploded on the individual standings, with Flügel as the best on 15th. Biggest dissapointmend being Zepuntke who got better resultlast year in PT compared to this year

This goes just as bad as we thought it would..
Our only hope, as stated by roturn, is that Dekker takes some GC wins towards the end of the season. He still have some races where he can make an good impact, so we really need him to deliver there. But apart from him, we really don't have any scorers, that's the main problem
Than you for the update roturn! |

yeah, Roy is only 3 pts away from Bystrom in the ranking...
But with € 160,000 lesser in wage...
Not that Bystrom is way way better but main stat is atleast one pts more. |

The last month went well for us, especially due to the victory of Fiedler in Norway, a jump of 6 places in the classification puts us closer to our goal.
The individual classification clearly shows that the team is hurt by the lack of a top rider capable of winning points regularly.

Thanks for the update, roturn!
Seems we repeat what we've been through last year... even in the same neighbourhood (Euskaltel and Flores).
There are still good scoring opportunities ahead, we'll keep hoping for the best.

But the team that worries me is Meiji, because as we saw in Beijing, Kinoshita is a one man wrecking ball. What gives me hope is that they appear to going to America too, and Shikai and Ji simply aren't strong enough to dominate the race in such as way that they'd score 400 points (as they'd need to in order to match our PPRD). So finishing 6th isn't an unrealistic goal for us, but a few fortunate results for those around us and it could quickly disappear out of reach.
Just saw this now. IIRC we aren't going to America, for the exact reasons you mentioned.
