Not really surprising that Tom Dumoulin slipped from 5th to 14th over the hilly stages of P-N, a good candidate for a hill stat boost.

Well, Purito did what he had to do and I take it. I'm not happy with Tachira, probably the fat year(s) are over, for now. 
Bakelants 6th GC place excites me though, great job by him. Already did in this race more than entire last year.

Not a good race for our team. Got in 1 break, where Le Mevel took 5th, 16th in GC from Albasini. Not much really, should have brought Chavenal. Now on to some races that suit me better.

Pretty pleased with Tachira overall. Quintana got on the podium in every ranking but only won the youth classification. Also the third place in the team classification is showing that we have a good depth for those type of races.
Now the classics season begins and I literally expect nothing from my squad until Trentino and the ardennes classics start.

P-N ends with a podium and a surprising 3rd place in KoM standings. Shame the GC was not possible after a poor start

Just Amazing in Paris-Nice.
A surprise 1-2 on the final stage.
Costa pipping his team mate Velits by a second to take the GC. Great 1-2 in GC and Points and a good Teams win.
Cunego 9th in Tachira isn't too bad either, he isn't one of my top leaders.

Sorry for the delay. I sorted everything out now. I uploaded stage 1-3 of Istrian Spring Trophy and Milano - San Remo.
Also I made a startlists tool so you can check out which favourite rides which race: https://www.mediafire.com/?rhmm7gsx58...gsx586tjqq
Just choose the Race you want to know the startlist of in the table "Race". In "Starters" you'll see the participating riders. You can fade out empty cells by disselecting them by clicking on the arrows in row 1. |

Wooohoooo
2 great races for CarbonSports!
Sagan finishing 2nd in MSR is really important if i want to finish close to the top in the rankings while Bunzl & SmartOne should be a bit more down in the rankings at the end of the season so it's good that they take the big points away from the top teams.
And Istrian - just wow.
Stage 1 : 1-2-4-5 (when including dev team rider Geyer)
Stage 2 : 1st: Geschke
Stage 3 : 1st: Benoot (Dev Team)
Stage 4 : Can we do the Full round? 
Currently GC: 1-5-8-11-14 when including dev team + lead in all minor jerseys. With just one stage to come this is truly amazing!
Especially amazed how well my Dev Team guys can compete in this race!
EDIT: Didnt I say that I want to concentrate on the World Tour this season?

Disapointing Istrian, I guess 3rd in the prologue wasn't bad, and I loved reading that Reichenbac was 8th. 
Fortunately the late season is set up to be better for me then the early season.
Oh, and congratulations Knockout.

3rd for Cav isn't bad. I'll take that.

Herr Klotz did well in the prologue, but it went downhill from there. 
7th for Degenkolb in MSR is good, had hoped for a bit better.

Great work Bikex, amazing idea for that tool, really always wished something like that, you're really an excel genius
Well, nice rides by both Moser and Bouet in MSR and Istria, can't wait for the last stage there in Slovenia but I'm expecting Knockout taking everything anyway lolololol.
Honestly I was expecting Colbrelli doing a bit better here in Sanremo, hence why I set a top 5 as an objective, but looks like Moser will be the man that will score the 66% for my team this year
Anyway, liking how my team is doing so far, I guess I can be in high hopes for a promotion, would be great, really great...

To be fair: I only send 5th strongest rider as leader + #10, #11, #16, #17, #22 & #23 (of 23) + my dev team. So definitly not the most OP squad.
Thanks for the startlist tool. Very interesting to see such a strong sprinter field in Vuelta which easily tops the other GT sprinter fields.

It certainly looks like ol Prorace are one of the most versatile teams, where we are at the next rankings update will be interesting as we haven't really been winning races or hitting the podium too much, however, in virtually every race we have someone around 5th - 10th. Is this tactic good enough to contest the WT title, we shall see?
Five cobbled races upcoming for the team, some good chances for some wins you might think. Camtel Whippersnappers might also have a win on the cobbles with some luck.
Carbonsports looking mighty at the moment, we will try and outfox them in the next few classics! Great to keep it on rolling, Bikex. |

Saeco in the background a bit at the moment - just ticking along in low scoring situations.
Decenet result from MSR, Cancellara finally taking it!
