Well, another month, another bad ranking. Guess I can't keep saying that my team has plenty of time to make it to the top of the table, as the competitors just get farther and farther away
Thought I had a good enough team to compete with the best, but especially my hilly riders have been quite disappointing. If that's not turned out really soon, I'll have yet another year in PCT to look forward to
Metinvest begun expected slide, but hey, we are still in the top 10 PCT after March and that is great. End of the season goal is the late top 20 now and we have some good advantage on teams who are right there around 20th spot.
Hoffman,Popkov and Popovych continue to score some points, however Popovych is slight disappointment, as he is unable to enter top3 in the big stage race, while likes of Kritskiy (who is almost the same rider in stats) is having a roll.
I hope we can stay near the top12 after April. Popovych will start in Canada at Vancouver Tour, i hope for some points there. And Hoffman is going to one of his big targets of the seaon Philadelphia International, where i see him as one of the podium candidates with his enormous flat and stamina, whoever is going there, will have to beat him.
Apart from that, only one stage race more and two one day races, so not busy April ahead of Metinvest.
It was a better month in comparison to the other two but still we are far from our objective of 10 ppd. Still, we are making some progress and there's still time to improve the rankings.
