For that matter, the most important for me is even take part of ManGame, the division in which I participate is secondary.
But of course everyone would like to participate in the Pt division.

And we are still 4 in-game months from that point, and anything can happen!

Not liking the way things have developed for us over the course of the last couple of months. We are not scoring the points we were earlier in the season, and our PpRD have dropped dramatically. The PCT title already seems out of reach, while we are gradually losing terrain to the teams behind us. Really need to get back on track soon.
Thanks for the update, SN!

We are doomed, just happy we are not bottom now. Expected more out of Taihau but Cav faded towards the end of the Tour.

May was another good month! The PpRD table is starting to show a clear sub-top consisting of CSC, Meiji, La Vie Claire, AMEX, Jaguar and Gazelle. Honoured to be in that group.

Ben Nasser once more saves our month. His points have provided over 60% of our total and without him we'd be rock bottom. With 4/5 goals possible, hopefully next season we can build a team to challenge further up the division. Now I'd be pleased if we held our current position.
The fight for promotions should be interesting. You'd think the current top four would promote but with Venchi and Bacardi losing momentum recently who knows.
Also sad to see Project Africa and Mobil down the bottom. Hopefully they can get some results and stay up as two of my favourites coming up with us this year |

Great to have two in the top 5. Brajkovic is burning his last few race days so his time at the top might be limited

How can Boeing be below us in the prediction with a higher PPRD? Makes no sense...
Anyway, still not in the relegation-zone, which is cool. Have no real top scoring riders, but all leaders are somewhat consistent which may be useful in the end
I spotted that as well, but the gaps are so small it's hardly a serious issue. But looks like our planning for CT has payed off 
It is correct. Boeing have a calendar of 174 race days, while Privatbank have 175.
It's also why Jaguar (175) are projected ahead of Gazelle (174) and Amex (169), despite a lower PpRD.

TomTom not in-form, but not out-form either. We've been consistent since the start, always on or close to the podium. I like that

Best two months in my MG-career this pprd we could actually hold on to next month, with only 6 or 7 days including Monterrey TTT and Goss in eneco.

The last month was very bad for the team, and can not be repeated or else the objective of the top15 will be at risk

Although not so many races for Nutresa this past couple of months, in general keeping the PPRD ticking along very nicely (lets ignore the recent Bucks County showing). Keeps Nutresa nicely in contention for the ambitious top 5 goal set at the start of the season. Particularly pleased that now every one of the riders on the squad has picked up at least 1 point, with young neo-pro (and Mobil-Aeropostal loanee) Campos getting off the mark at the aforementioned Bucks County Classic.
Both of our C1 races now done, with a reasonable points haul from both, so that seems to have worked out no bad. Of my 3 main leaders, Kolobnev and Beltran still have the larger part of their race days to come. On the other hand Ochoa Quintero is now passed his personal half-way mark. That said it is the contribution across the board that is making the biggest impact.
In summary:
* The boys done good,
* It's a game of two halves, and
* We take things one game (race) at a time.

He's been pretty great One of my priorities is to improve his support crew, maybe investing in his sprint stat.

As for Rabon well, 26 riders in the division have a better hill stat than him.
Yep, but only 14 of these have better overall, because secondary stats should be also important in this game, when they are present at first place.
Anyway i was not complaining about Rabon not winning or getting podiums, i think that was pretty clear for everybody. I was complaining about him sitting in the middle of the pack doing nothing and just rolling over the finish line as 60th.
Thanks for the last table, it shows how much we sucked in April and May, together with Mobil.

Obviously, but you did imply that he should be getting regular Top 10s - and I don't think he is good enough for that.
What are these races he has finished in 60th place though?
Actually looking at his races so far this season, I don't really think he has underperformed. Top 10 GC in both TDU and Mallorca were both great results. 18th in Taiwan where he had the 14th best average, and then 24th in Bongo where breakaways were just too prominent.

Really quiet as of late for us. It seems like we still have a clear gap over the bottom of the CT, but it's CT after all so it doesn't matter really Let's hope to turn this around !

I checked his races again and i am really maybe expecting too much of him. It is just some stages, where he strangely decides to do nothing, but he has nice results from Down Under and Mallorca as you said, rest is worse i think. He is not our biggest underperforemer, but i expected top5 or podium at some point though, as bunch of worse riders also got heir lucky moments. (late top10s-15s in C1 GC are worth shitty points...)
