Comments Section

@Jakstar22 : Thanks and good to not be the only CT team with success here

@fintas : Guess Top 10 and the last stage would've been good, but injustice isn't our way

@jihardy : Thanks Also just lucky ^^

@others : Thanks for your comments, this has been the best start I could've imagined ^^

The route consist of 12 stages in various locations in the Middle East and for this race we have brought different options. Our startlist doesn't consist of a GC rider and therefore stages are our main objective here. However Berard might be able to come with an Top 10, depending on how well the team support him and how objectives are going at certain times

4 hill, 3 mountain, 4 sprint and 1 Time Trial stage is the figure for this race, so since our GC hopes were none existent, we have leaders in both hills, sprints, mountains and Time Trials with us and each branch should be able to support each other aswell.

Startlist

Nat.	Last Name	First Name	Main Stats
	Berard	Julien	76 MO 68 Hi 77 DH
	Drujon	Mathieu	73 FL 78 SP 78 ACC
	Janiaczyk	Blazej	71 FL 75 SP 74 ACC
	Lejman	Gracjan	77 Hi 85 FTR
	Pszczolarski	Wojciech	73 FL 77 PRO 71 SP
	Sagan	Juraj	75 FL 75 TT
	Svab	Gasper	72 MO 71 Hi
	Zielinski	Kamil	70 MO 74 Hil 70 SP

Berard is our best hope for a GC spot, with his climbing skills and his okay ability to stay in front of the hilly races. We don't have a pure stage racer in our team and Lejman is here to cause havoc on the hilly stages, where he might be able to take a stage win. Drujon has already a strong result with him and will be able to compete for stage wins in the flat stages.

A Few Words

To summarize this season start and to celebrate our recent wins, the riders are given a small break and only one race in March stands in the way of a colorful April month. We have limited access to the big GC wins and the stage races aren't that suited to us, instead we've managed to create a presence with good results across the board.

We currently count 5 stage wins, 4 podiums and a point jersey in our collection of results and these has been scattered throughout 2 stage races and 1 classic. Some might say the big GC result with a podium or even a win is missing, however that will definitely come later in the season.

Now we present the monthly preview with two separate months included, however first a little applause to Kamil Zielinski for 3 stage wins, a podium and a point jersey, where he definitely has out shined our other riders

Summary

This race was a chance to see Berard making up for his bad season start and try and give us our first Top 10 GC in a stage race. Brice Feillu ended up being our biggest card, as Berard couldn't keep up with almost anyone of the other climbers.

We now venture into an April month with three races, which includes Tour de Langkawi, GP Zimnyanya and Cauberg Classic. All races are within our reach to win, however if Berard doesn't soon give some results, then he will have no future at this team.

In Langkawi we have our first goal and that is to get the points jersey. Anthony Lavoine got 8 chances to win stages and should also content for the points jersey. We don't know the startlist for this race and Zimnyanaya will show who of the sprinters are in best shape.

132	Blazej Janiaczyk	Fablok - Dunlop	s.t.
136	Adrian Kurek	Fablok - Dunlop	s.t.

We have two loanees out on loan and those guys are not to be forgotten for their results in the PCT. Blaz Bogataj has strengthened ONCE - Eroski's sprint train and is already making positive signs for the future. Pawel Poljanski and our upcoming big talent was loaned out to Karcher - Adira, where he will be a valuable asset in their pursuit for GC's



Blaz Bogataj have already made an impressive breakthrough and took a 1-2 win together with ONCE sprinter Guillén. Even though this was from the break, it just shows multiple talents in this kid.
