Wow, 2 top tens! Expected the top 10 at Ventoux' race from Rosa's side, perhaps even something more seeing his recent results but I do realise it'd have been quite impossible.
Didn't expect a top 10 in la descente pavee, where the AI went full retard as far as I can see cause there can't be no gaps in a cobbled completely downhilling race  But nice to see Guarnieri doing well once more in a sprint! 
Looking at my HQ, I see that since a certain point of the season on Moser, Colbrelli and Bouet, my team leaders, stopped scoring, while Appollonio, Oss... well, meh, never actually started... Nice to see that Cattaneo, Rosa and Guarnieri took their places though, we need those points for promotion, and hopefully Moser will restart helping as well!
Have fun at le Tour muahahaahahah!

Very happy with 3rd for young Joe Dombrowski climbing up Ventoux.
Eurosport-Pepsi rivals doing very well in recent races, come on boys we want that promotion place!

After a while we have another update thanks to Bikex.
Doesn't sound as if we will have any racing for a while but that could change with some more help.
Ecopetrol - Vivo must be enjoying themselves, not promoting directly last season and now 3rd in the WT rankings with the TDF to come! |

Contador at least with a stage race win in Germany but the season really depends on how he's in Tour.

My team not doing so well in 15th in the WT at the moment. At least there are many races to come, including the Vuelta. Though with Costa's performances at CT level he puts us in 13th in the Prestige Rankings.
In the U23 we have 5 riders in the Top 22. Currently the Porto boys boys still have a good lead there. And they are 31st in Prestige which is better than 5 CT teams.
Portugal 18th in the Country rankings which isn't great. Preferably they would finish a bit higher but Costa needs to perform for that to happen.

Best CT team in the WT rankings. Pretty highly placed in prestige and continental as well, so hopefully we can promote.  |

Was waiting for this, I still love this game!
Meh, we're 6th CT in the Prestige Ranking, 7th CT in Continental but hey 2nd CT just behind SAP in the WT standings and we're getting closer to Saeco, as I would love to end up in front of them!
As far as I can see, we wouldn't promote if the season finished now but I'm sure we can still dream, especially if Moser and Colbrelli restart scoring as they should

^ Well the likes of Telecom Namibia Cycling Team and Istanbul will disband so if you can't go up automatically you can go up anyway!
- Shonak - Don't forget the Vuelta where you have the hot favourite!
Prorace look to be in a great position to challenge for the title, however, I am just not feeling it. Maybe some good results at the TDF can assuage that. |

I'm absolutely impressed by my whole team:
-Kwiatek and Froomey occupying places 1 and 3 in WT and Prestige individual
-best WT and Prestige team
-Kudus 20th in CT individuals though riding in my dev team
-Leading dev team in CT Team Standings
-5th place in U23 (two guys in Top20)

As I thought it is a disaster of a season for me... Tiernan Locke best placed on CT rankings in 104th, we are the worst CT team (although higher than 2 WT teams  ) and still without a win!

Another race up, well out of position on the calendar, but it keeps things ticking over. A close run TT over a nice course. |

I'm certainly enjoying myself
The triple header really helped us to climb up the ranks this month, but Air China and Carbon Sports are still close behind and after the tour Quintana's race days are numbered.
Gaviria doing quite ok at the Chrono San Michel with a 14th place.
Next season he will probably be one of the best TTers in the U23 class.
Nothing against my flock of mountain goats, but I can't wait to have a decent time trialist from south america.

The Chrono San Michel was absolutely dominated by the two German teams. If only Geyer would have entered the top spot on the podium but this race should be another step towards winning the individual rankings on DT level.
Nice to see this continue!

Terrific victory for Ludvigsson. Great race for the team with Valgren and Kendler in the top 10 too. |

Cyclotron - Talking of Quintana, hopefully Bikex can think of something to get more riders to GT winning level. Two GTs out of 3 will become very stale if Froome and Quintana are the clear favourites for two out of the three GTs for the next 3/4 seasons.
Talking of regens: I'm hoping the regen files, or whatever Bikex uses, gets changed also. The first batch of regens felt like there were many great riders from the likes of Germany yet no WT level riders from the whole African continent, some more randomness would make things more exciting/ interesting in my opinion!
---
We are back to the continental racing with the Tour of Bulgaria. Two stages will be up each day for the next few days. |

Contador will be 82 (hopefully) next season, so make it three.
