No problem with the delays, it happens. Also, we've been going really fast anyway, we're almost halfway done with the whole year.

Another 2nd for Simon. Our incredible form continues but with no individual success. I can't complain though, 4th, 9th, 14th, white jersey and miles clear in the team standings is a bloody good effort.
Tejay staying up there in Fuji. Hopefully, a top 5 is within reach. Is Chevrier doped up btw?

Might need to change sponsor to US Postal at this rate

Well our two leaders are really in great shape this season. That win makes it five wins for Froome, wow! A GC win coming up: we wouldn't mind it!
Bikex - Relating to the rankings points file, maybe this is a good idea?: (In GTs) perhaps we could change it someday so you get more ranking points for winning a pan-flat stage than a mountainous stage? As the ones winning the mountainous stages are likely to get a ton of ranking points from the final GC. |

Posted last stages of both Guatemala (pretty important stage for the GC!) and Berlin (not GC deciding being a pan-flat stage but it decided the winners of both the points and mountains rankings).
My team sticks to sucking balls.

I don´t like the idea of rating stages of the same tour different...

Brave effort by Bibby to try to get the KoM but Nibali is still invincible. 
He also got a top 20 overall because of it.

Auer winning KOM at Berlin!
Roinas racing really well though, having much higher finishes than I would expect! meaning I don't have to wait for Spagnoli to have U23 sprinters do well.

Croatia14: That may be so but I don't think it is in the best interest of the ICL to have the top GT riders scoring so many points compared to everyone else. The difference was a bit too much for me. But, maybe it was a one off.
Steady eddy performance, again, from VDB. OK with that. Thanks for keeping us rolling Matt. |

TdB was the first disappointment for Laas, though he´s having an outstanding season...Fugjsang sadly missing out closely on the Top10...
@the Rider: let´s wait for this years ranking and then let´s see

Why? This is not different to real life. GT and stage racers always score more points than sprinters, time trialists et al. It comes with being the best guys of cycling. Besides, just because certain riders allocate most of the top points doesn't mean that other GC riders have an easy time getting points -- or that it'll be the same in different years. (Nibali sucked for two years now in GTs before he became Merckx 2.0)

Kwiatkowski absolutely dominating in Germany 
Winning stage 8, 3rd in the ITT, leading Points and Kom - and the GC with more than 3 minutes. That is gonna be a massive points haul!
6th in Guatemala isn't that great, hoped for some more points here. (both Bouhanni and Porte should have done better).
Don't even care for the bad results in Mount Fuji, maybe we'll be able to gets ome breakaway action.

So caught-up in Berlin at last, two wins is nice but James is such a selfish little... An actual GC win and you couldn't bear to come second to your teammate. Damn it James, or more accurately, damn it PCM!

Sorry for the delay, had an important project due last week and the Mt.Fuji stage crashed several times, which took away my last motivation. Now I finally added the results for the last stage of Deutschland Tour and the last two of Fuji: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1140575 |

Thanks for that. The triple was okish for us. Mollema getting a 3rd place is nice of course, but Wellens and Slagter disappointed a bit. Van Poppel didn't get a stage win, but Hofland did get some good results.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

PCM YOU JUST CANT LET THE BREAK WIN IN THE LAST STAGE OF FUJI WHILE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN A SINGLE TIME AT THE GIRO ;(
You basically just took the points jersey away from Colbrellis hands! 
But this is ok as long as this is back, don't worry Bikex life comes always first!

A podium is good but now we won't feel greedy hoping Froome has a top tdf!
Brewers on great form lately: you know its going well when you win a jersey from breakaways!
If we want to have a go at the prestige rankings we might need some decent places in the other c.1/c.2 races this month. Grazie, Bikex. |

Nice to see De Gendt finishing 7th in Fuji, probably our best performance so far when you take expectations into account (unless I forgot something major ) and pretty cool that he was only a handful of seconds behind Quintana.
Aside from that we had some decent sprint performances and Sicard in the winning break but nothing of note. Thanks a lot bikex.
