The rest of the season for us:
Tour of Britain -> Lejman
GP Quebec -> Betancourt
Milano - Torino -> Betancourt
Paris-Tours -> Pierzga
GP Yekaterinburg -> Lejman
Tour of Beijing -> Betancourt
Japan Cup -> Betancourt
Lejman won't score much in Britain with a TT... I'll be happy if he's in the mix at the end on some stages. In Yekaterinburg he's expected to win if Mendes isn't there (EDIT: Now I see Mendes will be in Russia...).
No expectations in the Paris-Tours really and just hoping that Betancourt can score good points in his races, at least a top 10 in all of them.

It's too close to call regarding the relegation battle. I'm fairly confident we can get through though, as I think the Tour of America could be a hindrance to those competing down at the bottom unless someone can win it.
Whatever happens, we should receive a large budget next year, with our Africa tour goal looking good. That would make it 4/5 with 1 near miss, so I'm happy concerning that aspect of things.
Looking like Quickstep will win, and Oz and Heineken will join them in the PT. Should be an interesting battle between the other three candidates. Also, I hope Project Africa can save themselves. Would be a shame to see them get relegated.
Ben Nasser has 3 races left: Milan Torino, Beijing and Japan Cup so he should play a part in trying to keep us up.

Hmmm. We are close anough and the same time far enough from relagating places. I need to make a plan for both it seems  |

Thanks for the detailed update, SN!
The overall standing after August is still better than expected at the start of the season. Though the brilliant spring performance left us even hoping for more. Anyway, there are some well-suiting races ahead and maybe we can reach a (real) promotion spot by passing the finish-line at our home GP at Züri.

Finally first in the rankings!
Dont expect us to stay there, but who knows, Bonsucro could have a bad month aswell.

Hello CT division, I wonder how much the relegation with affect the finances I will have next season. I fear some serious decrease in wages will be needed.

I thought only 7 race days would have meant we'd have dropped down th rankings so to jump into the top 10 is brilliant. I'm also surprised we are keeping up with the PCT teams in the Asian rankings, looks like we might achieve both those goals which will give us a better budget for next year.

Crap I have looked at the calendar of the 7th-12th CT teams in detail and looks like this is gonna be so damn close.
I think all of them still have a lot of days for their leaders(some even have goals to go), so will be a spectacular finish of the season for sure.
