We had here a great chance to take the win, and Dall'Antonia delivered it pretty well. Besides that, Juan Mora finished 10th, from that we brought 55 points from this race.

Review:

Vrecer was amazing. 13th in the GC against top PCT climbers was very good. Like that, I know that in Tour of America he will probably have a chance of fighting for a top 10 at least. In the end, we collected 55 points from this race.

Review:

Well, I didn't expect this startlist. I tought that most of the puncheurs we're going to Lugano. I was wrong. Very bad stuff still from Daniel Silva. Because of that, this was our very first race from the season we're we didn't score any points.

Rider of the Month

No argues here. Dall'Antonia takes a deserved award.


The win in Emerald Race, made this decision easy.

Surprise Rider of the Month

Easy win here to Vrecer. His great performance in Trentino made this decision also very easy.


Vrecer finishing 14th on the 2nd stage

Final Review:

110 points and a win. Bring on March.

Squad:

Goal:
Even tough we're against PCT team's, win is still possible. The route fits Dall'Antonia perfectly, and the finish is similar to the Emerald Race. So top 10 would be good, top 5 great and the win amazing.

Volta ao Algarve

Goal:
One thing is for certain: I want a better performance from Daniel Silva. Still, I think that top 15 could be achievable and that even a stage win is plausible.

Vilnius GP

Squad:

Goal:
Our 1st goal race of the season. And the goal is to win. This course was designed for Dall'Antonia. Just perfect for him. Anything else than at least a podium would be bad.

E3 Prijs

Squad:

Goal:
Scoring points and going into the breakaway. I signed up for this race thinking I could sign a cobbled specialist. I was wrong.

Criel shine's in the Crit Series

Criel winning the 2nd criterium in Holland

We decide to send Criel to the Holland Crit series. 2nd time that we send it there, it payed off for him. Most people expected that he would work for his team-mate Armee, but there we're other plan's. Criel followed a move with Kreder and Serry. In the end, he sprinted for the win beating Kreder and Serry.

Congrats on that win It's always nice for an aging rider like him to win a race, no matter where it is. He definitely showed that he still has a decent punch up a short climb.

20th. Not bad against PCT team's, but not good. Only 3 points scored. A beggining from what would be a dark month.

Like, Daniel Silva did good. Ciocan did good, Mora, once again, bad. Silva finished 18th in the GC, Ciocan 7th on one of the stage's. Still, only 10 points scored from this race.

We set a goal of top 10 here. But I hope to get more than that. 4 flat stage's, with the 2nd beeing perfect for either Dall'Antonia or Mora. Bring it on Adira and Mehr-Menige.

Top 10 would be good. Maksimov is here, so win is hard. Still, the finish is a little bit uphill, so Dall'Antonia migh be in it.

Great race for us, probably. Roman could do well in the hilly stage and Ciocan can do good on the sprint stages. Top 10 should be possible.

Hah, now I see why you said similar teams in Portugal

Hope Cardoso's home advantage will play a role, and ofcourse Lima is the perfect lead-out, with home advantage....

Ciocan taking the win on Stage 1 on Alentejo

Is our bad luck about to change? Let's hope so. 1st stage of Volta ao Alentejo, it looked like Dall'Antonia could take it. But in the end, a fast finisher Ciocan took the win, with the italian beeing 5th adding more points. Curiously, only in this stage, we scored the same amount of points than in the month of March.

Dall'Antonia on the winning move in Ukraine

Tiziano Dall'Antonia gave us another chance to smile today in the Donetsk GP. The italian sprinter took the win after a great solo effort during the last 15km's of the race. This makes the 2nd win of the month of April, our 3rd in the season and the 2nd to Dall'Antonia. Adding to that, 45 more points added to our score this month.

Ciocan winning the 1st stage in Norway

Alex Ciocan won the 1st stage of the Glava Tour of Norway. The ''captain'' of our team beat rider's like Guillén or Kankovsky to take the a surprising win for us. It's definetelly a good start from the race for us.
