Josh gets us our stage win in Tachira and a good ride by Mannion the day after too. My youngsters have been absolutely brilliant so far. 
Yates and Chaves pretty much joined at the hip. Like they will be for their entire careers probably.

Not much happening for Saeco at Paris Nice, not that I expect much with a really elite startlist and with my hilly C squad.

Valverde with a great stage win and LuLu in 8th place to bring in some additional points \o/

1st thought: PN & Tachira? Why would I demand a CT wildcard for any of those races?
2nd thought: Wait, wasn't Tachira WT?
3rd thought: I got a stage podium. Yay

2 more stages of P-N and Tachira up. Last ones follow later.
In P-N the AI was real crap, as more than half the roads were narrow. |

1 STage of Tachira left and TVG seems locked in now. Would love to get Bardet into the Top10 though

Aru with a nice 4th place, and then screw it up the stage after.  |

Another Top 10 result in P-N for Rapha! No GC man so trying to salvage something from it

At least we got one stage win but losing 2nd place & the points jersey sucks very much.
Nice riding by Bakelants in Paris-Nice, hope he keeps his place in Top 10.

Looks like you took a break about the same time I did!
Some nice results in Paris-Nice, no top contenders but some good stage results. Van Poppel Sr. was the best with a good win against strong opposition in the sprint but also several riders in surviving breaks (Clement, VdL,) and Stef doing well in the two time-trials.
PS: Well done with the special Japanese NC on Masuda, Bikex. It looks really good!

MOSERRRRRR! BEAST! What an amazing dude!
Didn't expect at all that he would have been so good! C'mon man, let's grab a podium and take the white jersey
I'm really pleased with how good he's done in the last 2 stages, now he's even 3rd in the points jersey ranking, would love to see Pizzaballa grabbing a win in the kom category too, but I don't really see it happening because of pcm's AI

Great Tachira for LIUCPSNRHPISBTH. TVG back into comfortable mode, easing to 4th place. Bardet so close to Top10, and Rolland also in the Top20. Kern popping another podium. And easy Team win. Yep we do stage racing and that's about it

Some decent GC placings for us there. Did think Wiggins had a real shot at the GC, but LA were on the good sauce. 
Hopefully the combo of Boonen and Gilbert can repeat out Milan - San Remo win. |

Hahaha, that's great! Nothing special on Moser's side but still he managed to bring home a 4th place in gc, points and he won the young jersey. But the best thing is seeing Pizzaballa grab the KoM! Great race, loved it

Geschke seemed to be quite active. Too bad that he did not scored too many points though...

Nice result in Paris Nice for me on stage 7 - and Proni got some mountain points on the last stage too.
Not the worst race for us considering some really strong riders present. Puccio the steal nabbing 20th on GC and a stage 2nd is really nice.

Tachira was a crap race for us. Aru only got 4th twice and 18th on GC is not good enough if we do not want to relegate. |

Great performances by Edmondson and Mannion in Tachira. Both right up there in the KoM as well. I would have liked to see Yates more active but I guess he was our 'GC' guy so waited in the peloton.
Another really good race for us when I didn't expect it. My non-existent luck in EPIC has travelled over here.
