The WT Rankings would be so close at the moment if there was no ProRace.
In Prestige & CT ( ) Rankings my team is on a good way and I'm confident that my Dev Team will improve, too.

Added Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn Frankfurt U23.
The next race in line (Tour de Romandie) will be done by The Rider.  |

Nice breakaway coup by Navarro.

The pressure! If its as simple as downloading everything as last year it won't take long.
Just a superb month for the team and it is shown in the rankings, we did finish in the top 5 in every race, crazy.
I put together a big preview for the Giro d'Italia so check out the teams thread for that one, especially if your team is in it. |

Up to 11th in the rankings that count. It looks like ourselves, Allianz and TMM's horde are in our own little battle with nobody near us. Of course, 11th is mine and will always be.
Breakaway bugs even in the U23 division. No story game is safe.

Really nice to see Saeco continue to hold the lead in the continental rankings despite some big moves from other squads.
Question: How is promotion/relegation between the divisions organised? Is it based on superprestige or continental?
Fantastic Giro preview The Rider, will be great to see my team in action have doubts about getting that all important stage win. Kittel and Cav will be difficult to penetrate for that sprint win but I guess we have a decent shout for a breakaway win from somewhere.

Relegation is based on WT rankings and Promotion on the Prestige rankings.
Awesome preview The Rider. It's nice to see someone putting some extra work into this game. |

Spot on preview Rider, really nice and a nice introduction read. I hope to read previews of Tour and Vuelta too.

Really nice preview there. Thanks The Rider for that!
Five stage wins? Sounds like a target ... for the first week
Nah, a few stage wins are a must but i have no idea how many are realistic. I only know that we have to perform if we want to keep up to the others!

Pff.. if I knew Froome and Nibali would be at the Giro, I wouldn't have send Martin for the TTT. Also funny to see us among the favourites for the TTT as we never did well in them. Hopefully Aru can do better than his past few races. |

Really liked the Giro preview, (although SAP - Bianchi are Swiss, not Italian )
I think you got it spot on with them though, a stage win is probably the most I should hope for.

La-Antarte underperforming a fair bit at the moment in the WT which is a bit disappointing, need more stage races with Velits and Costa to move up the rankings after an average classics season for Costa.
Meanwhile FC Porto 
Damn my youth team is doing well at the moment. Do we have the best young sprinting academy in the world? Quite possibly so! The young German, Bauhaus, has been outstanding so far currently 1st in the U23 rankings (and 41st in Prestige!), Kozhatayev in 7th and Wachter 10th also doing very well and helping the team to a massive 170 point lead.
Also 29th in the Prestige Rankings ahead of 6 CT Teams and a WT Team!

Beautiful read The Rider, it was great to have such a complete heads-up on the Giro, but looks like that 1 stage win goal will be very tough to achieve seeing the contenders
In the meanwhile Parmalat lost 3 positions in the Prestige Ranking, and that's really sad because we were 3rd among the continental teams in that ranking in March and now we're only 5th 
I hope to re gain those positions later on the season, when Britain, Pologne and some other Continental stage races will be raced, and I'm really in high hopes for those races.

Good preview for the Giro.
As a team we haven't got much depth so three GT's was kind of a planning issue for us. Then having a part-Spanish focus makes the Vuelta a high priority leaving the Giro and Tour sort of random. We will take anything we can get...

Thanks for all the opinions about the preview. - At least every team has at least a stage goal, even though it looks a massive task for may teams. Right at the end I did a predicted points tally: if you finish around/above the place there then you can consider you had a decent Giro.

I'm taking some of the burden off Bikex's shoulders this week. First part of Romandie is up now. The rest will come to tomorrow with the Lincoln GP and perhaps the Giro start, which Bikex did. |

I don't like the sound of the word "perhaps " . you should edit it out of your post

Thanks The Rider for helping BikeX out and indeed keeping this brilliant and thrilling pace.
Romandie is seeing 'The Cat' back out of the bag with some nice performances particularly pleased with a 3rd place in the team chrono.
