Thanks for another update! The periods between these in the final months is awesome!
This update finally makes me confident that the 6th place is ours. I can't really see Karcher / RBC move ahead of us anybody especially considering that more points from Faso and possibly from Japan will follow.
This gives me the chance to also look a bit more to the relegation battle where COC, Euskaltel and Lululemon our so damn close together that it will be a thrilling finale!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Nooo! I have had enough Bazzana wins for one season!
What a relegation fight though, from here it looks like CoC are going to pull off the impossible. |

Thanks for another update. Extending the gap to Evonik is good news, looks like a top 5 is secure now as they'll need 33 PPRD to catch us if we score nothing, which seems unlikely. I'm very happy if we finish 5th and secure 'automatic' promotion and not rely on disbandments, anything better would be a bonus!
The relegation battle really seems to be going down to the wire. I think Chernobyl are favourites at the moment with Prevar to race in Beijing. Would be funny if Chernobyl stay up after all fjhoekie's comments on how he will dominate the CT.  |

Wow this is really close - one lucky placing in a group sprint could well decide things.
Can feel those sphincters tightening...

Our only hope is to win the Japan Cup.... and that is just not gonna happen. As i've been saying for a while, we are well and truly relegated.

Well 4th place fulfills our goal and our promotion target and I think we've got enough of a gap on Project Africa to keep us there. Really a great season for us.
Vontobel have rocketed up the rankings!

Sure you got big enough gap to Project Afrika to keep 4th?
Thanks for another, really exciting battle for survival atm, glad we are out of it for good!

How dare you confuse us with our poor South African cousins!
For that, Kwiatek will receive some extra steaks ahead of Beijing to assist him in his efforts to catch BPost... |

Don't worry my Belgians have decided to take the rest of the season off and are already drunk.

Good to see Vontobel guarantee their safety after Di Maggio delivered them a top 10 and a second place.

Our place in the top10 seems consolidated and as to the fight for a possible promotion seems difficult to achieve but you never know what Kupfernagel and Vakoc will be able to do in the last race of the season

Thanks, sammy. We really started scoring a few lucky punches since August plus it makes it a lot easier when Di Maggio is delivering... at least here and there.
Küng, Chavanne and Schurter may turn out dominant CT riders, will be great advertisement for Swiss cycling. Guess and hope we'll see your team back in PCT pretty soon.

Well, we are in for a thrilling finale to the Man-Game Season. Our second season obviously not as lucky as the first  but it was to be partially expected.
The Tour of Beijing is to be the decider for myself and CoC. GC wise it should be Prevar who does the better of our two teams as he is stronger in the hills, my only hope there is that Herrada and Lopez somehow manage to equal him together. My other big hope in China will be Bouhanni who will have both Anton Martin and Reza to support him. If he can get two big results in the flat stages that could potentially get us the points we need.
There is still potential for both of us to close down on Siam unless they get a few points in their remaining races. And Lululemon are still not out of it as we all know PCM loves throwing up big surprises here and there.
What a thrilling last couple of weeks of Man-Game action we have ahead of us, it'll all be decided in Asia!

Kung should be a good leader for us definitely, Chavanne will probably get loaned out though so I can get him back maxed, then when he's maxed he might well end up being part of a sprint train aswell as being able to dominate the prologues, even if they are few and far between he'll still be a world class rider in them anyway as he'll have 82 Prologue by that point..
I'm hoping Schurter (75Hi) and Hugentobler (75 Hi) can pick up some nice points between them but I think it's more likely they'll both be super domestiques for Othman (76Hi) next year who is from my second target nation of Malaysia.
Then I'll have to see if any new Swiss talents get added and if I have enough to pick up any of the nice ones but I doubt I'll have enough to outbid you and Bushwackers as being a division below you should make outbidding you both really hard.

Go COC Go! 
So much drama built up before the last few races, even the minor placements can be the key to survival.
Also Puma going strong, as they should, good job!

If I got a dollar for every time someone confused my team with that shitty Kenyan team :

Nearly 400 points on Nutresa with only one race remaining for both... dare I start celebrating 4/5 goals?
Been a great season for us, leaving teams that were way better in the CT behind us. Now time time to prepare for the off season and to get the team on track for a Top 10 next year.
