Nice 5th Place in Andorra by Andrew. Also a Stage win in the Mountain ITT.
Win Counter: II

Sheesh what a nightmare - 800 points lost to the Russian menace. Bye-Bye WT rankings.  ... for now!
This has been a semi-disaster for the team, but ... We'll be back! |

2 in top 10 in Germany is good enough. Aru actually managed to win a stage in Guatemala, although he still sucked in the GC.  |

No stage win from all 3 is extremely disappointing. When Gavin Mannion was your best rider in a triple-header, you have problems.

Bughardt 
The stage win on the last stage concludes a good Deutschland Tour for us. Sure, it could have gone better - e.g. with Kittel as main sprinter instead of Ciolek  - but the results are decent for us. The point & KoM classifications are good for us bringing some important points!
VG were horribly pointwise for us while TF was actually better than I feared!
Losing only 8 points to a team like ProRace is fantastic!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

- I'm still heavily interested (which should indeed be shown by rather regular posts by the way)
- A bit disappointed by König. He didn't deliver anything really. Anybody interested in that guy? #lookingforwardtotransfersthoughitsstillJune
- Kwiatkowski winning his 3rd stage race this season already.  *imagine a banana overload* #neverlethimgo
- Froome second overall behind Quintana is not disappointing at all, it was just his warm-up race for Le Tour, where he will destroy the opposition again. Seriously, whining about not winning a race would be really wrong. 
By the way, it's nice to see him winning the Points Clas.
-> Won the triple header overall, bitchezzzzzzzzzzz 
(margins are unimportant  )

No race for all three, when Fabial Roth was your (Tied) best rider, you have problems. |

I am laughing and crying at that performance in Berlin. So consistent yet they can't finish anything off.
How many British Gas riders does it take to win a stage?
Spoiler Punchlines wanted. Enquire within.

We didn't have a good race in Berlin...
1 or 2 top 20s and a couple of KOM points for Pellaud. |

When a third place in the last stage of Tour of Berlin is your best result something somewhere went wrong.. 
Then again, it's only U23 and those guys have lots of time to grow

Isn't that out of context? I needed to google this, since I am totally not in this, but doesn't calling Shotgun that you want to drive next to the driver in the front passengers seat?

@Sylvio
My best result was a 14th...
@Paul
Shotgun mean to call out that you want something before everybody else.
For example you could have to decide who gets something out of multiple people, like if somebody gave you and somebody else a choice between an apple and a banana, so if somebody says shotgun the apple, they get it (although usually this doesn't work because it's a hopelessly unfair idea...)
EDIT: Although, you can shotgun sitting in the seat next to the driver.

Sorry for the rather long break again. I could really need some help with the reporting the net few races. So please pick a race if you want to report until the end of this month of racing. I'll start with the Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt tonight. |
