Cool to see Andy become another 36 year old with a contract. Age has hit him hard, but I always root for the older guys to get one more chance.

Final signing of our transfer window has taken place and we believe it is a big one! We have sent away Jang plus 200k in order to bring in a top Australian puncher.

Calvin Watson


We were very excited about this signing! Coming from Festina-OAKA and SotD, we are pleased to bolster our hills squad and really be in with a shot with a super strong hills squad! Watson is excited to be on one of the only Oceania focused cycling teams and we are ecstatic to have him on board! We can't wait for the season to begin!

We have also loaned out Luke Mudgway to Xero Racing. He will be there for the season with the aim to finally reach his full potential! We are excited to follow him the PT this season and thank Jandal7 for taking him on loan!

The Continental Tour Draft


This is something we always look forward to as a team. This draft could definitely be the difference between winning and losing in the continental tour. These could be key domestiques or future talents as well as potentially leaders in the CT tour. We approached the draft a bit differently then usual. This season we were hoping to pick up a cobbles leader and then boost our stage racing team with another domestique. We believe we have achieved this! Lets introduce these riders that will be joining us for this season!

German Anibal Orue


This rider from Paraguay will be our cobbles leader for the season. He is a strong rider and never gives up the fight! His acceleration has left people wondering if he will succeed but we have full faith in him! With the help of Weber and Muhindo, we believe he can get some really decent results for us this season!

FLMOHITTSTARESRECCOSPACCFIDHPR
69506464777056785358787368


Rhys Gillett


The final piece we needed for our stage racing team! With the departure of Jang in the Watson trade, we needed another domestique for our climbers. While he isn't as strong in the mountains or hills, Gillett brings a fighting attitude and strong time trialing ability which was lacking with Jang. Plus he is another Oceanian rider which we are super excited to grow our pool of Oceanian riders (even though 2 of those are loaned out currently). Can't wait to see what Gillett can do throughout the season!

Watson was a great end-of-period pick-up. I really love this team and your dedication, and i really do think this is the year you could jump up the divisions!

Thanks Eden! Really happy with how our draft went!!

Thanks TMM. Hopefully he can help make a difference with the hills squad! With 3 top hill climbers for the CT it means I can prepare and aim a lot more for specific hill races which I’m excited for!!! Hopefully this is the year! But I’m not one to give up! So I’ll be trying again next season if I have to Grin

January Review


Racing is back and we open on home turf. The Gisborne GP and Herald Sun Tour are our opening races followed by the Hong Kong Challenge.

The race in New Zealand went fairly well. It was definitely a strong start to the season. Edmondson debuted his British NC jersey and was on the attack in the finale! He stayed with the front runners however he had used a lot of energy. He could only manage 8th place causing us to fail our win goal at this race. However, still a great opening to the season! Our big 3 hill races failed to achieve big results however, with only Edmondson performing. Watson and Le Roux were a long way back.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Gisborne/PCM0011.jpg


The Tour Down Under was always going to be a tough race. In the C1 and some huge hill racers and sprinters in this race this season.

Stage 1 had Wippert in a strong sprint train however he couldn't manage anything more than 25th place.

Stage 2 was very different. Wippert had an excellent train and was fighting so hard for the victory. The top 8 was within centimetres of each other. While Wippert only managed 7th, still an excellent result comparing him to the other riders.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/HC/TdU/mg21_tdu_02_PCM0152.jpg


Stage 3 was the first hill stage. No time gaps was a bit strange however Edmondson managed 11th place which is a solid effort. He pushed hard.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/HC/TdU/mg21_tdu_03_PCM0235.jpg


Stage 4 is where it all came undone. Edmondson finished 99th losing 1'12 to his competitors and ending his race in the GC of which he has done so well in the past seasons.

Watson joined the breakaway in Stage 5 trying to save our race. They were caught before the end and Edmondson could only manage 36th place. Losing no time but not gaining anything either.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/HC/TdU/mg21_tdu_05_PCM0344.jpg


The final stage was again disappointing. We ended up finishing 23rd in GC with Wouter Wippert 1'30 behind the winner Simone Ponzi. Not a great race for us on home soil. Time to move on!

The Hong Kong Challenge wasn't much better for us. Stage 1 we had Watson and Le Roux (our two hill leaders) in the breakaway...nuff said. We ended 62nd on GC 7'22 behind with Watson. Now some photos of the race.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/HongKong/mg21_hkg_03_PCM0365.jpg


So not the best start to the season but still a long season ahead. We are looking forward to the races coming up and hope to improve on our current position!

Gent Wevelgem


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_gentwevelgem.jpg


The first cobbled race of our stacked season is Gent Wevelgem. We achieved amazing things last season with Sascha Weber coming home in 2nd place only just missing out against Oliver Naesen for the win. This season we have a slightly stronger cobbles squad and we hope to go one position better and get that 1st place! The squad we hope to do that with is led by 2 riders. Sascha Weber and German Anibal Orue.

Volta a Catalunya


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/top_catalunya.jpg


A huge race for the squad! This is the debut of Andy Schleck! The Volta a Catalunya has 2 huge mountain stages with some hilly races and TT in the middle. We have brought a squad centred around Schultz and Schleck. We have brought Bevin as well for the TT so we still have strong hopes there and if it turns into a not as selective race then we have him for the GC as a stage racer. This will be a very interesting and exciting race for us! We can't wait to see Schleck in action in the pink colours!

Tour of Southland


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_southland.jpg


Our home race! Last season we sent a squad not suited to this race due to bad planning. This season we are prepared. We have Joshua Edmondson to lead with Schultz and Watson as support. Wippert is here to lead the charge in the sprints with Scott as his main lead out! We are really excited for this race and we really believe we can achieve some great results here!

We are very excited for these races this month and hope to achieve some better results than January. We really need to be consistent as a team and hope that we can achieve that with the debut of some new riders to the team as well as old riders like Schultz and Edmondson stepping up and hopefully achieving the results we are looking for! We look forward to seeing you in Belgium for the first race of February and can't wait to get racing!!

February Review


I know its late but better late then never :lol: Will have all months following. It has been a rather shocking start for us but you will see what I mean. Lets get into it...

Gent-Wevelgem


We were seen at the front early on working for Weber and Orue

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Gent%20Wevelgem/GW%202.jpg


Lots of aggressive movement from Orue today as it quickly shows who our leader is today!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Gent%20Wevelgem/GW%2015.jpg


Unfortunely Orue couldn't quite hold the pace and is dropped with less then 10km to go. He still hung on for an incredible 14th place finish and opens our cobbles account very positively!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Gent%20Wevelgem/GW%2033.jpg


Volta a Catalunya


The debut of Mr Andy Schleck in the pink colours! This race will always be a special one for him and us as we join forces for the first time!

Stage 1 was rather straight forward. Schultz and Altanzul get the same time as the winner and Schleck loses 48s on the terrain that is not exactly his forte.

Stage 2 saw Rhys Gillet representing us in the breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Catalunya/pics/02ca05.jpg


We finish stage 2 with a fantastic 3rd place from Altanzul! Backing up his great result from stage 1. Not a bad start for us!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Catalunya/pics/02ca12.jpg


Stage 3 was a TTT. We lost over 2 minutes but finished mid field

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Catalunya/pics/03ca04.jpg


Moving on...

Stage 4 was a big mountain stage. Heading up we had both Gillett and Schultz in the main group closer to the rear. That didn't last long as Schleck was soon dropped.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Catalunya/pics/04ca07.jpg


At the end of Stage 4, Schultz had been dropped closer to the top. However, Gillett held on to the group for a very respectable 9th place finish.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Catalunya/pics/04ca25.jpg


Our Stage 5 breakaway representation.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Catalunya/pics/05ca08.jpg


Not much more to say.

Finally, stage 6. Another big mountain day to finish off the tour. Gillett and Schleck in the breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Catalunya/pics/06ca02.jpg


Gillett ended up finish 3'36 behind on the day. Overall, Schultz was our top guy in 23rd over 10 minutes behind. Not the greatest tour for us. We had some decent results but never really got into a strong position.

Tour of Southland


Stage 1 was really disappointing of our home tour. We didn't feature at all until the finale and even then it was only a 12th place from Wippert.

Stage 2 was better. An uphill finish and we have our hill leader in Joshua Edmondson. He is up there with around 1km to go in the British NC jersey

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Southland/S2/PCM0011.jpg


Edmondson managed a 9th place on the stage. A good start in terms of the GC fight.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Southland/S2/PCM0015.jpg


Much better placement from Wippert in the Stage 3 sprint. He is in the pink on the right hand side of the road.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Southland/S3/PCM0015.jpg


And he is just beaten on the line! Wippert was charging but unfortunately could only manage to finish 3rd

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Southland/S3/PCM0019.jpg


Stage 4 saw another uphill finish. Edmondson was up there in the finale but could only manage 12th and loses 19s.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Southland/S4/PCM0016.jpg


Stage 5 and again Wippert is right there in the sprint.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Southland/S5/PCM0015.jpg


But he had nothing and could only manage 12th place. GC wise we finish the race in 13th with Edmondson 39s behind the winner.

Not the race month we had wanted but definitely could have been worse. Moving on to march and hopefully a better month overall!

Geraardsbergen-Bosberg


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_gerbosberg.jpg


Another cobbled race is upon us. The Geraardsbergen-Bosberg is a race we have attended many times before. We have never been great at this race and with the acquisition of Orue, we hoped that will change. He will be leading the squad here with the help of other cobbled specialists and strong riders here to help along with Sascha Weber who has full freedom in this race.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_juarez.jpg


A very interesting C1 race. This pure sprinters race is always exciting and brings us a huge mix of different results every edition. This year we have our sprinter Wouter Wippert here to try and get us a victory or high GC finish. He will have support from Cameron Scott and Sascha Weber for his readout as well as other riders here to work purely for him, including road captain Andy Schleck. This edition will be nothing short of incredible!

Tour of Eritrea


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_eritrea.jpg


A very interesting stage race in Eritrea. We have Andy Schleck here to lead the team along with Maani Altanzul to lead us in the sprints. With flat stages, high mountain stages and also hilly stages, this race has it all and should be very interesting for the team. We are hoping for some big points in this race and hopefully a decent GC finish.

March Review


A new month, a new set of races, hopefully better results.

Geraardsbergen - Bosberg


Vuillermoz was in the early attack but was soon dropped off the back as we hit the cobble sectors.

30km from the line and the favourites group looked quite big. We still have our main guys in this group.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Geraardsbergen/pics/gb13.PNG


The group blew to bits before the end and Weber finishes in 13th place as our best finisher on the day.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Geraardsbergen/pics/gb28.PNG


Circulo de Juarez


Stage 1 saw Wippert up near the front close to the end but still far from the front. He only managed 20th on stage 1

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Juarez/S1/11.jpg


Stage 2 and 3 we didn't feature at all.

Stage 4 we finally saw Wippert near the front again. It only lead to 13th place

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Juarez/S4/10.jpg


Stage 5 was better. Jake Marryatt went into the breakaway today to try and salvage the race.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Juarez/S5/02.jpg


Wippert is seen at the front in the finale of the race again.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Juarez/S5/08.jpg


Finally a top 10 with Wippert coming home in 9th. He seems to be lacking fire power at the moment.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Juarez/S5/17.jpg


Tour of Eritrea


In the finale of stage 1 we had Altanzul in an excellent position.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Eritrea/S1/09.jpg


He managed to finish it off with an excellent 5th place on stage 1.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Eritrea/S1/15.jpg


Stage 2 of the race we didn't feature.

Stage 3 and up the mountain we go. We had 3 riders in the breakaway, Le Roux, Muhindo and surprisingly Schleck...

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Eritrea/S3/01.jpg


Later in the stage before everything went terribly...

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Eritrea/S3/06.jpg


After that everyone was dropped and Schleck was our highest finisher over 10 minutes down.

Stage 4 and Schleck again in the breakaway. This time the only rider from BNZ

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Eritrea/S4/02.jpg


Schleck is caught by the peloton not long later and again a terrible finish for the team.

Stage 5 we didn't feature as the breakaway won on the day.

The final day and again Schleck is in the breakaway. Watson is a favourite for the stage today.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Eritrea/S6/02.jpg


Schleck is dropped not long after. We did not feature in the finale at all. Our highest finisher in the tour is Schleck in 44th. Another terrible month as the shocking start for BNZ- Superhero continues!

April Review


GP Izola


Regan Gough joined the breakaway for us today

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2/Izola/pics/iz02.jpg


Unfortunately that was the only time we featured in the race. Edmondson only finished 28th which was the 3rd group on the road. Not a good start to the month.

Lincoln GP


Vuillermoz was in the breakaway for us today at the Lincoln GP.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/LincolnGP/04.jpg


Orue had a great day finishing 11th on the day. Unfortunately missing out on the top 10 but still a good day out.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/LincolnGP/20.jpg


Vuillermoz also had a great day finishing 15th from the breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/LincolnGP/23.jpg


USA Pro Cycling Challenge


Stage 1 was a pretty good day for us. Marryatt set a really strong time!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/USPCC/S1/PCM0008.jpg


He finished 10th on the day with other riders up there as well for us.

Stage 2 saw Gough in the breakaway. We had a favourite in Wippert today.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/USPCC/S2/PCM0009.jpg


Unfortunately today he was unable to get a strong result.

Stage 3 was a better day. Wippert went under the radar and ended up finishing 9th for the day.

Stage 4 saw Gough once again in the breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/USPCC/S4/PCM0003.jpg


However, once again Wippert was unable to break into the top 10. Again another bad result for us. We are still waiting for us to get some good results this season. We hope our breakthrough is coming soon.

Tour de Romandie


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/top_romandie.jpg


A big race for us. This stage race is important for the team and in order to get results for us and improve our teams position for the year. Ablenado is leading the team here with Altanzul leading the sprint squad. Schleck is also here with Bevin and Gillett for extra support in the mountains and the TTT. It will be a very interesting race for us and we can't wait to get started.

A race for the punchy riders. Edmondson will be leading this squad along with Wippert for the sprints. We are hoping for a strong top 10 result. An interesting race around Chile and should be a very exciting and fun race for us.

Tour du Faso


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_faso.jpg


A very interesting and hard race for us. The final stage involves a lot of cobbles and a very long cobbled section. Orue will work hard here for a good result with the help of Weber and Muhindo, although I don't think much help will really do much with the distance and severity of the cobbled sectors. It will be a very interesting race and we don't really expect a huge amount of finishers in this race.

Olympia's Tour


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_olympia.jpg


This time trial friendly race doesn't exactly suit us at the moment with us not having our main TT rider due to a loan out this season. However, we bring our sprinters to this race trying to chase stage wins instead of time trial wins. It should be an interesting race with Wippert leading the charge.

May Review


A month filled with C1 races means a very hard block of racing. Lets see how it went.

Tour de Romandie


Stage 1 was a team time trial which means we were near the bottom. Not a good start to the race for us.

Stage 2 was similar, no feature and a low finish for our riders. Luckily all with the same time.

Gillett in the breakaway on stage 3.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Romandie/S3/PCM0002.jpg


Not a good overall result on the stage though with Ablenado losing over 5 minutes.

The big mountain stage on stage 4. Vuillermoz joins the breakaway of the day.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Romandie/S4/PCM0005.jpg


No high finish for us again. Ablenado lost another huge chunk of time and Schleck our highest finisher in 28th still losing quite a bit of time to the leaders.

The mountain ITT on stage 5. No images of us on the day but Schleck with another strong finish today only losing 35 seconds in 22nd.

The final day is a sprint stage. Altanzul is contesting the sprint and going well!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Romandie/S6/PCM0010.jpg


He manages a great 3rd on the day and our strongest finish in the race.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Romandie/S6/PCM0012.jpg


Overall we did not feature. Schleck was our highest over 12 minutes back in 42nd overall.

Tour of Chile


A hilly race suitable for our leader Edmondson. Stage 1 saw Watson in the days breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Chile/Pics/Stage%201/PCM0028.jpg


In the end the breakaway made it to the finish! Watson sprinted hard but could only manage 2nd place for us. A very good start to the race around Chile for us!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Chile/Pics/Stage%201/PCM0035.jpg


Stage 2 was very strange. Joshua Edmondson decided that Watson is our leader now and attacks into the days breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Chile/Pics/Stage%202/PCM0040.jpg


Not sure what happened but all of our riders finished over 5 minutes back. Edmondson and Watson were over 7 minutes back on the day. All our elation for stage 1 has disappeared now.

Stage 3 again sees us not feature. The whole team over 4 minutes back. Our first GC rider over 9 minutes back. Not the race we wanted, hoped for or should have had.

Tour du Faso


Back to the C2HC for the Tour du Faso. This crazy hard cobbled race should be very interesting for us.

The team doing the work for Orue and Weber.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Faso/FasoS1%204.jpg


Orue is seen in the lead pack with only 3.5km to go.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Faso/FasoS1%2011.jpg


Orue finishes 24th but with the same time as the other favourites. A good start!

Stage 2 is for the sprinters and we see Gough in the breakaway for us.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Faso/FasoS2%201.jpg


Once the breakaway was caught we struggled get our readout set up. We did not feature but all riders finished on the same time leading into that final big cobbles day.

Stage 3 and only 45 riders left in the group very early on. Orue and Weber are there for now but do get dropped not long after.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Faso/FasoS3%205.jpg


Muhindo, Weber and Orue all back into the lead pack before the final 25km cobbled sector.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Faso/FasoS3%2021.jpg


All our riders are dropped but still finish in great positions. Muhindo comes home first out of the 3. A fantastic result from him! (He is in the blue with the pink helmet as he is NC)

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Faso/FasoS3%2041.jpg


Orue finished 21st with Weber only a few positions behind. Orue finished 18th overall with Muhindo not far behind. Muhindo only 2 minutes behind in the U25 division as well. Probably our most successful race so far this season.

Olympia's Tour


Stage 1 was the first ITT. We did not feature on this stage as we are aiming for the sprint days.

Muhindo attempting to jon the attack on day 2

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Olympia/S2/PCM0004.jpg


Wippert in position for the sprint.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Olympia/S2/PCM0013.jpg


Wippert managed to finish second on the day after a great sprint. He had the right wheel just not enough speed to get around him.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Olympia/S2/PCM0015.jpg


Stage 3 saw Wippert again ready for the sprint.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Olympia/S3/PCM0011.jpg


Today he could only manage 5th but still a great result for him! He now leads the points classification.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Olympia/S3/PCM0014.jpg


Stage 4 was a TTT which we finished way down the order.

Gough was in the breakaway for stage 5. They were caught early. We now see Wippert in green at the back of this small sprinters group with 1km to go.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Olympia/S5/PCM0009.jpg


Unfortunately he fades a bit and can only manage 8th on the day. He loses his green jersey after 1 day.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/Olympia/S5/PCM0011.jpg


The final day was an ITT which means our tour ended on stage 5. A good race in terms of sprinting and consistency in the areas we were aiming for so a strong race and a good confidence booster moving forward into June.

Tour of Japan

An interesting race around Japan. A prologue and then many mountain stages which we have Edmondson here. Plus a high mountain ITT which Andy Schleck is here to tackle! We have Weber here to lead us in the 2 flat sprint stages. We are hoping for some nice results over the course of the race. Not necessarily a high GC finish but some good finishes in the stages just to get some confidence back into the riders.

Wippert is here for the sprint stages as well. Overall we hope for a top 10 but our sponsor goal is a top 5. We will see how this race goes as it is a very difficult race for the riders involved.

June Review


Tour of Japan


Stage 1 of the tour was a prologue which we didn't feature much in.

Stage 2 saw Watson in the breakaway for us.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%202/PCM0002.jpg


The break is caught just under 5km to go. Weber is in a great position but unfortunately due to the last small uphill, he loses the wheel and a lot of energy and has to settle for 7th place. Still an excellent result!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%202/PCM0015.jpg


Not sure what the team is thinking but both Watson and Edmondson in the breakaway today. This stage really suited Edmondson so I am not sure what they were thinking.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%203/PCM0001.jpg


Edmondson was caught and lost over 4 minutes in the end. Not a good start.

Andy really pushed his time in the mountain ITT. He passed multiple riders and set a fantastic time! He ended up 9th on the stage in what was a great top 10 for Andy!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%204/PCM0001.jpg


Stage 5 we see a huge breakaway with 4 of our riders. Marryatt, Schultz, Gillett and Scott.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%205/PCM0001.jpg


Schultz attacks out of the breakaway group

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%205/PCM0010.jpg


Schultz was caught in the final sprint and finishes outside of the top 10. Still a great stage for him. Just ran out of legs near the end.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%205/PCM0019.jpg


Watson joins the breakaway on the final day of racing in Japan.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%206/PCM0001.jpg


The breakaway was caught as expected and Weber has a great wheel for the sprint.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%206/PCM0008.jpg


Weber sprinted incredibly and held the lead until the final few metres where he was passed. Weber still achieved an excellent 2nd place and puts the icing on the cake for what was a much more positive race for us.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/TourofJapan/Pics/Stage%206/PCM0014.jpg


Tour of Vancouver


A strong opening for us in Vancouver. A mountain ITT to begin the race sees Ablenado finish 2nd only 4s down and Bevin in 9th place. And excellent start for us!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S1/PCM0019.jpg


Stage 2 and we are working hard on the front to bring back the days breakaway. Muhindo is leading the peloton in his blue jersey.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S2/PCM0006.jpg


Le Roux was trying to lead out Wippert. Wippert was struggling to hold the wheel today.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S2/PCM0012.jpg


Wippert manages to recover and finishes 4th place with Le Roux finishing in a nice 10th place as well. Ablenado and Bevin both lost no time on the day as well.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S2/PCM0016.jpg


Stage 3 and again its Muhindo working hard for us to bring back the breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S3/PCM0007.jpg


Our readout today looks much better with Orue-Le Roux-Wippert on the left hand side.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S3/PCM0010.jpg


Unfortunately after an excellent leadout, Wippert couldn't hold it and drifted back to 11th.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S3/PCM0015.jpg


Stage 4 saw huge time gaps! Vuillermoz and Ablenado in the main favourites group finished 10th and 12th over 4 minutes back. Ablenado holds 9th in the GC currently.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S4/PCM0015.jpg


Stage 5 and back for the sprinters. Muhindo putting in that hard work yet again! What a young talent he is!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S5/PCM0006.jpg


A strong sprint train today again.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S5/PCM0008.jpg


Wippert was coming fast but ran out of road. He settles for 3rd place today.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S5/PCM0013.jpg


A huge breakaway of 21 on stage 6. Bevin and Muhindo involved for us.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S6/PCM0004.jpg


Bevin going strong in a now leading group of 6 with around 25km remaining.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Vancouver/S6/PCM0010.jpg


Unfortunately they were caught and the favourites take the stage. Ablenado loses another 1'55 today but still holds onto 9th overall with 1 day left.

A TTT to finish it off. Ablenado loses his 9th and finishes 10th overall in the race. Not a bad finish but definitely could have achieved more if he had some better luck and form.

Tour of South Africa


Gillett in the breakaway on stage 1.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/SouthAfrica/Pics/Stage%201/PCM0003.jpg


They got caught and the favourites all finished together going up that last hill. Edmondson was in that group.

Stage 2 and all the favourites finish same time again. You can see Edmondson's pink helmet in the image below.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/SouthAfrica/Pics/Stage%202/PCM0012.jpg


Stage 3 sees Marryatt in the breakaway.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/SouthAfrica/Pics/Stage%203/PCM0002.jpg


The attack was caught and again, a mass sprint and the favourites finish same time.

The TTT. We finish midfield today losing 1.5 minutes.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/SouthAfrica/Pics/Stage%204/PCM0010.jpg


Stage 5 looks like the hardest yet. A reduced group of 14 favourites. We have Bevin and Edmondson involved here.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/SouthAfrica/Pics/Stage%205/PCM0011.jpg


Edmondson ends up finishing 16th almost 3 minutes back. He is 21st on GC currently.

The final flat stage. Gillett is in the breakaway again today.

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C1/SouthAfrica/Pics/Stage%206/PCM0003.jpg


They got caught and a mass sprint but with some gaps. Edmondson was in the front group and makes 1'11 on some of his rivals. He moves up to 17th overall in the final GC.

Monterrey TTT


We weren't big favourites but we were still on the favourites list. We looked strong throughout the race today and ended up finishing in 5th place which is definitely not a bad position for us to be in!

pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Reports/C2HC/Monterrey/pics/mo12.jpg


A fairy decent end to the month and overall definitely a better month then previous ones.

Not exactly the place we want to be right now. We are going to work hard over the final months of the season to make up some ground and finish the season strong! The top 10 is looking out of reach but just improvement in scoring for us will be enough. We still have some huge races coming up including the Tour of America so plenty time for us to improve!

Tour of the Middle East


pcmdaily.com/images/mg/2021/Profiles/mg_tome.jpg


The race with some flat, hills and mountains. A great all round race and no TT which really helps us out. We are excited to see the boys at this race and hope to see some continued great results after last month.

Celtic Chrono

An ITT classic. We have Bevin here leading the team with Marryatt and Ablenado as well. We are hoping for a decent result but it is not expected. Next season we will be back here stronger when we get our main TT talent back from loan.

Tour d'Andorra

This race suits our mountain squad. 5 big mountain stages and one of those being an ITT. This will be very interesting and we can't wait to see Ablenado in action here!
