Wow, Majka's best result of the season in the last race, in Il Lombardia! The ICL gods have been generous with us all season long! Big win for Aru and Ceramica's promotion ambitions.

Thanks for all the results Shonak!
Nice win for Lutsenko in Emilia. Also great to see the World champ getting a big win. |

Big win for Aru and Ceramica's promotion ambitions.
Not exactly sure the promotion rules but my impression was he didn't really need to win a monument to secure those ambitions.
Great stuff from Henao in Colombia, assumed he would hold the jersey for 1 or 2 stages when he got it. To have 1'42 in hand before the final TT is way above expectations. Hope the daily form winds blow in his direction but 2nd will still be great. McRettin has no memory of ever thinking anything bad about him.

Great team effort in Paris-Tours to have so many riders in the Top 20. Matthews has been an excellent addition to the sprint team.
Yates with another Top 5 in Emelia is great. He did fine with a Top 10 in Lombardia as well. Two more Top 20s and a Top 25 brings makes it a very good race for us.
Thanks for the reports Shonak!

Lombardia winners 
Varinese dissapointing: 6th and 10th
Colombia: Great stage win for PRL + decent standings
Piccolo Lombardia: Great 4th for Nounkeu
MiTo: 2nd for Aru nice, could been a win though
PaTours u23: 6th for Eden nice
Emillia: decent 4th after sprint for Aru
Lombardia; Winning without a team
Guess promotion should be secured now

Oh no fucking way Chaves got the puncture abandonment glitch, no no no... if that costs us promotion I'll be so pissed off.
Decent result in Japan to finish our promotion charge I guess if it was behind anyone but a Ceramica rider... could be a heartbreaking final rankings update I guess.
Guess the redeeming factor is with Lombardia and other good results they probably had it anyway.

Only the Worlds TTT to go until the final rankings update. Battaglin completes Ceramica Panarias strong month. Plenty of unexpected changes still in Colombia but in the end Herklotz is just the strongest. |

Love the profiles; with Pulido, Herrada and Betancur present we have multiple shots at medals. Hopefully we can get also a big win, which has been eluding us this year unfortunately. Fingers crossed, champs!

Damn, I had miscounted stages he still had two to go in Colombia. And Stage 10 was a disaster, still I would have settled for 4th overall before the race so can't complain too much.

Let's go Yates in the WC. He's had a great season, so maybe he can finish it off in the best way!

Strong finish to the season by Ceramica. I agree, Santos has to worry now.
The TTT preview has Aviva in 8th, but I looked at the start list, I very much doubt we'll make the top 10. Though it would go with the rest of the season, we've been overperforming all year long.

@krisa: WC startlist can not be posted, as it will be chosen by the game. I'll make an update on participating teams after posting the rankings. |

Lol behind Aviva? A humbling experience for sure. Hopefully my TT youngers will mature fast.

Hey, Bikex predicted us in 8th, we can't be that bad. But yeah, 17th looks about right to me. I believe this last race is the only race all season in which we didn't score. Dowsett not even among the top 5 in the team, I know he's my avatar and his nationality fits, but he's just useless. I think he had one or two decent TTs, but he was outside the top 50 in most of them. Apart from Stefan van Winden, who was our only rider who didn't score at all, he has the worst points/wage ratio in my team.

Didn't expect anything from that race and didn't get anything.
