Froome 2nd, Kwiatek 5th in WT individual. That looks like the key to our success 
That lead looks pretty solid atm

Ouch, although we climbed 2 positions in the prestige ranking, we lost 1 in the promotion fight 
Not too bad though, as I'm expecting to score much more in the last third of the season anyway
Thanks for the update, Bikex

Still all to play for at the top of the table.
The WC could be a big card, the ICL rider of season 1, only has 800 odd points so far, whereas last season he finished with 2100. The Vuelta is the key for the title battle. |

The Pro Tour Rankings are not looking good for me. Guess I should have aimed at Prestige Rankings again 
Btw, is it possible that in Quebec Sprint challenge team mates will be placed in different starts as long as that is possible? I had the feeling that it wasn't too good last season when two team mates where placed in the same run.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Vuelta should be some good WT points so we may climb a spot or two still. The slim Giro booty certainly didn't help us in the WT battle and some races went way worse than last year.
@The Rider: He did win L-B-L this year but he somewhat hasn't been so ever active in smaller races except for AGR?

Thanks Bikex!
Bit of a slow start, expected more from Moser to be honest. Pologne is one of our biggest "points sources" and hoped that Moser would do a bit better in the starting TT but well, that's still a top 10
Appollonio is he starting to score? He gave some decent signals in the latest races and with a 5th and a 7th place he's making me hope he is not that useless after all, even though I would still expect more given his sprint stat.
Congrats to Eurosport and D2B especially, which is being surprisingly good this year.

Some nice results for D2B & sutty there.
Shonak - I just looked at the rankings last year and found that after July, Gilbert scored a further 1100 WT points last season, so all is not lost! He still has over 60% of his race days left. |

Thanks for the congrats - Tour of Poland is a target race for Eurosport-Pepsi and the boys have certainly risen to the challenge in the first 2 stages!
I hope the rest we took on stage 3 means we are ready to hold off Cataldo Spilak & co during the lumpy stages coming up.

Wow. Eurosport and Tel. Namibia pretty much dominated the latest 3 stages, congrats for that 
I'm happy with 2nd and 3rd place in stage 4 but can't be happy about what happened in the follwing ones, sadly..
Appollonio underperformed, and Moser a bit of the same thing. With a better ride he could have been higher in the gc at this point. So not good when our aim was a top 3.
Thanks for the reports, Bikex.

T. Namibia with back to back wins - well done - looking strong.
Great to see Julien Simon win from the break to keep our run going.
With lots of climbing in the last stage the mountain goats are likely to create more big gaps, just hope my guys can hang on for decent GC places.

Meh, didn't remember there was such a hard stage at the end for some reason. Moser didn't do too bad but meh, 9th gc is surely a worse result than what I'd have hoped.
Thanks Bikex.

Jérôme Coppel beat arch rival Simon Spilak by just 1 second to get 2nd place in GC.
Well done Saeco, Cataldo too good in that last stage.
Very happy to see Eurosport-Pepsi win the Team competition, 5 riders in the top 20 exceeded my expectations.
I have the feeling this might be the high water mark for Eurosport-Pepsi, hope we can hang tough for the rest of the season.
Thanks to Bikex, leaving the last stage to the next day had me on the edge of my seat.
