Been a while since the last Rankings hasnt it!
It's a three way battle at the top, and Rapha Condor Qhubeka regained the lead after back-to-back victories at Manx International and Ras de Cymru. Jayco Red Bull slip to 3rd, but there is plenty of racing still to come.
And this really could be one of the most closely contested Continental seasons ever. There may be a gap to the 4th placed team, but teams are close all the way down from 4th.
California Giant retain 4th, but are under pressure now as the rest close in. Aker Solutions scored the most from these 11 races with 677, while Pokerstars and VolksWagen were 3rd and 2nd with 550 and 564 respectively. Pirelli and Vespa also enjoyed some good scores recently.
| 1 | 3 |  |  | Rapha Condor - Qhubeka | 3457 | | 2 | 2 | |  | Team Bianchi | 3375 | | 3 | 1 |  |  | Jayco - Red Bull | 3343 | | 4 | 4 | |  | California Giant Berry Farms-Specialized | 2688 | | 5 | 7 | |  | Aker Solutions - Bergans | 2687 | | 6 | 5 | |  | Pokerstars.com | 2616 | | 7 | 10 | |  | VolksWagen - Siemens | 2376 | | 8 | 8 | |  | Pirelli - Alfa Romeo | 2336 | | 9 | 6 | |  | Team Bpost | 2318 | | 10 | 14 | |  | Vespa - Aprilia - De Rosa | 2153 | | 11 | 11 | |  | Team Trilux - Falke | 2095 | | 12 | 9 | |  | Hollister Pro Cycling | 2068 | | 13 | 12 | |  | T.CS Bank - OJSC Rosneft | 2065 | | 14 | 17 | |  | Team Venchi ProCycling | 2014 | | 15 | 13 | |  | Team Puma - SAP | 1964 | | 16 | 16 | |  | Team Rothaus - Aegon | 1806 | | 17 | 18 | |  | Emu Export | 1796 | | 18 | 19 | |  | Saab-Scania | 1786 | | 19 | 15 | |  | UniCredit | 1698 | | 20 | 23 | |  | Ferrari - ERG | 1567 | | 21 | 20 | |  | Koppert Cycling Team | 1564 | | 22 | 21 | |  | Proximus - Trek | 1527 | | 23 | 22 | |  | Team WWE | 1450 | | 24 | 27 | |  | Cyclevox | 1230 | | 25 | 26 | |  | Team CSC-Orbea | 1157 | | 26 | 24 | |  | Focused Cycling | 1149 | | 27 | 25 | |  | Meiji - Fuji | 1063 | | 28 | 29 | |  | Oz Cycling Project | 988 | | 29 | 28 | |  | Cerne | 953 |
Jonathan Bellis may have come 2nd in the GP of Wales, and won the Manx International - but he has lost his lead by some margin to Jose Alarcon, who shined by winning Int. Osterreich Rundfahrt.
Tour de Slovenia and Brixia Tour victories lifts Pozzovivvo to 3rd, while Froome climbs to 4th after winning Ras de Cymru and Di Maggio to 5th having also done well there, and previously winning GP of Wales. Bennati won as well, but his Air Force Cycling Classic win couldnt stop him losing a few positions.

With Haussler´s strong performances i´m still 11th and have the best German rider atm.  With almost 300 points to Rothaus a Top15 gets more and more likely.
The battle among the top teams will be very exciting with so many PT places open.

Nice to have climbed a few places, was a good spell for us, really. I think we'll drop down quite a bit in the coming races, though. Not got too high hopes.
Hard to tell where the promotions will come from. Bianchi and Red Bull look safe, though.

Nice to be up to 5th. But I suspect we'll slip quite a bit from now on and to the end of the season, as Alarcon only has 3 races left, with 2 of them being one day classics. But the others have been doing well without Alarcon so far this season, but they'll really need to step it up if we're going to be anywhere near the promotion spots at the end of the season. Hopefully they can keep us inside the top 10, that would be very nice. |

Must... stay... in... top... 15...
I didn't see Bianchi overtaking Red Bull. A late swing for the overall ranking!

Tour de Limousin? Did I miss something SN?
We're climbing again, and hopefully Flügel will allow us to climb further, alot rests on him now. Marzano got 1 more race, Ratiy 3, Reus 2, and Flügel got 9. I need him to perform to promote! I also need Reus and Schadlich to win Duo Normand, to assure a big budget next year

Hey SN can I change my "Overall Top10" goal to "Not being dead last"? It appears to be more appropriate

Satisfying. Not more, not less.
Bennati has 4 races left to win, Rolland gets some TT chances, and I finally need some results from Croket in Britain and Faso. It doesn't look like we can improve, but a Top15 would be a huge success.

With a weak Ciolek again still at the Top 3 but I don't see my team at 1st or 2nd position.
I might have the most race days used from the Top 3.
I just have 13 races left 5 of them are HC:
Clasica San Sebastian, Tour de Pologne, Vuelta a Burgos, Trofeo Melinda, GP Plouay, Deutschland Tour, GP de Quebec, GP de Montreal, Milano - Torino, Giro dell' Emilia, Paris - Tours, Tour of Taihu and Japan Cup
Team Bianchi - 2012 Man-Game ProContinental Tour Champions

Continuing to move in the right direction.
Good to see Cal-Giant look as if they're finally going to crack promotion.  |

How dare you jinx it
But seriously, Aker are uncomfortably close. I think 1 point qualifies as uncomfortable.

Well Rin I think you have used the most race days of any team - but as ever the points in the bag are what counts and you are surely in a very strong position to moving into the ProTour next year. You may have overtaken me but at least the public can buy my jersey!
Rapha do look in a commanding position to me - for overall but I hope my guys give them a fight as we have done all season.
It feels as if at least 5, possibly six promotion spots will be on offer (as I think Nestle and Webeffect will finish out of the relegation spots thanks to Boonan and Sella) and with so many 'High Category' races to come you could make a case for any of the teams down to Saab having chances of promotion. More likely it is five or six from Bianchi, JRB, CalGiant, Aker Solutions, Pokerstars, VolksWagen, Pirelli, Vespa, Venchi and TCS Bank - I will be watching every race very closely.
The wooden spoon may go to the wire as well, Oz Cycling remian favourites in my eyes - but they have been able to strike surprising results from time to time.

I'd say the first three are certain, but in which order is anyone's guess. However, should Rapha not promote, then the battle for 5th will be interesting. |

I am just imagining the streets of Hong Kong with hundreds of people wearing Kin-San Wu's National champion's jersey.

Rapha won't promote. Chances are that 6 teams will promote for sure, but possibly only 5. So the battle for 6th/7th will be key

I highly underestimated how hard this is going to be  I'm glad my first season mistakes might actually make season two much easier. I know what I have to do now, so match out CT as CSC-Orbea is going to hit you hard in 2013

Not last
I think focusing on sprinters was a bad idea, but what choice did I have?
