Another ok performance in Eneco, nothing spectacular. Nice to get the win in the Team classification.

Erm, good team effort and good result, but we needlessly threw away overall victory on stage 5.

A second place for Robert in a stage, and fourth for Quaade in Denamrk is unfortunately the best we could do in our home race. They both have an okay GC though.
Enece Tour showed what I already knew: GVA is too weak to play a role of importance anywhere higher than C2. Thanks for the results!

Great racing from Pintzopoulos, but unfortunately the stages weren't selective enough. Thanks Shonak! |

My team is so weak in that type of race as in Eneco that even Umerbekov came last in front group, lol
Thanks Shonak |

Huge rankings boost thanks to Bennett and Langlois stepping up! Sure, we still suck, but we don't suck the most anymore. And that feels good!

Despite a pretty calm month, we climbed up one more spot, mainly due to the great USA PCC, as well as Tour do Rio. September will be even more quite, though, with just some classics and no stage races at all, so let's see if we can keep that CT Top 10 spot... Would be great, but with just 23 points between 9th and 12th it can definitely go any way!

Another great month, what a fantastic season we're having. One relegation spot is still to be decided. Brugse has pretty much promoted already, well done. Just one year from absolutely mediocre to totally dominant.

Oh no. No no no no no. We need to move in the opposite direction...

hopefully this should be the definitive step for promotion. Phinney winning Eneco was obviously one of the best highlight of the fantastic season he's racing.
Brugse Zot enjoyed perfectly the momentum, we were lucky to have the biggest budget among CT teams, thanks to good focus races in the past season, and so many disbanding teams and high quality free agents.

Gone is the lead. If Polanc rides a good Vuelta we won't be able to catch Grupo as they will surely outscore in a number of races like Virginia and perhaps even the classics. I have hopes that Bananito does a good Vuelta and we can put some distance in between us and Team BP to secure the 2nd spot.

6000 prestige was the season target and we passed that with a great month from Kittel. So drinks all round in the KBC camp. Likely to drop places from here with neither leader having much left but the season is a success at this point. Mullen's ToNE performance mean that Boris Vallee won't be our 3rd highest scoring WT rider, which is probably a good thing.
Still close at the top.

Be my guest, 3rd would be a fantastic result for us.
Yeah, Argos is now in the driving seat, highly competitive in all the remaining races.

Some upward movement. Hope it continues. Top 10 would be a good result for us this season. Looks like the World Cup is also out of reach now perhaps. But again, we've done well there as well.
Dimas and Illsanker have done brilliantly in the U23s as well. Top 3 there would be another great result.
Thanks for the update Bikex

We actually had a very good month and have got a nice little buffer to the last relegation spot now. In order to not drop down too much though, we will have to rely on breakaway luck at the Vuelta, otherwise it will be difficult. Other than that Villella has got a few races left, where he can hopefully perform as well as he has done all season.
Thanks for the update.

Tense race, I like it a lot. Polanc vs. Bananito might be key, but with some very smart planning Ripley kept BP in the mix and they can cause a big upset still.

Rankings are looking much better for my team than last year, but gotta say almost all points are probably scored already. Still hoping I can get decent results at la Vuelta but it's going to be hard. |

Good TTT to start but Dombrowski just had to lose those extra seconds, because that's how our luck has been recently!
