With rjc and Sykkel_Freak deciding to leave the game, it looks like 7 teams will promote.

Not a good year for my team, but at least I get to stay in PCT to make it better next season. Thanks to everyone involved making this such a great and quick season.  |

Thanks SN and all other reporters for getting through this season.
Sucks to be relegated but forces me to rethink my plans and come back stronger next season!

Gratz to Aegon winning PCT and the other promoted teams!
Nice RBC made it, too. Without a superstar, but a nice foundation for PT (and offseason) to start with. Will be difficult to stay up, nonetheless.
Fingers crossed for Pirmin Lang to get a new contract at Kenia Airways. Seems he did a nice job and the African team is a nice place to be. Pro Tour doesn't deserve the imminent Swiss rider drought. Sad enough Swisscom has to go down.
We had our ups and downs most of the season, but found ways to adjust to PCT-level the past weeks. Wasn't always fun to watch the team perform, but exciting still.
Thanks to all involved for keeping this going!

It's not nice finishing last but as least we should have a solid squad for next season that should give us some hope of promoting back without making too many changes.
Have we broken the PCT's lowest points tally? For some reason I imagine we must have ended up close to it if not as we really didn't have many high scoring races.
Congrats to Aegon on the title and commiserations to Gazelle for just missing out. It's a shame to do so though Monfort crashing in the last race rather than not being strong enough as it does leave question marks but at least you still have the PT to look forward to and I imagine it will be enjoyable watching you transform your squad.
Well done to our fellow Swiss team Vontobel for getting it together for the run in and securing that 20th position, is that goal succeeded in the last race of the season for you Margh?

Great season guys! Really enjoyed it, despite the occasional shenanigans by the AI. Thanks to SN and the reporters for making this possible!
I'm obviously pretty disappointed we didn't win the title, especially because of the way it happened. But I'm sure I'll get over it quickly and realize that second is a great result as well. Big congrats to roturn! Your team was very impressive all season.
And of course also congratulations to Puma, Bpost, Kenya, Evonik and RBC. Looking forward to racing in the ProTour with you!

Thanks sammy! Turned out I could've stayed scoreless in Japan, but it looks much better now.

Congrats to the promoting teams, looks like Team Summerhill was able to hold off relegation and give ourselves another season to find someone else able to score points for the team.

Congrats to roturn, a thrilling battle all the way.

Oh boy am I happy about those 7 promoters. I dont think I could have picked it better myself. Every one of those are active members that are also great guys. Their teams are talented and well put together. Whats not to like! I will be looking so much forward to having you around and hope you can all fight well - I am rather certain that you can. The battle in the PT has gotten up a level with you.
Congrats to everyone doing according to or above level, and sad looks in the direction of those demoting. I hope you can fight straight back up!
Olivier Le Gac making the top 100 here is really great. I hope he can also perform well in the PT :-)

Congrats roturn for the PCT title and also congrats to the others who promote
10th for us is good make it 2/5 goals this season at least, and if I remember right it's quite much better then at least roturns preview before the season  
Tremendous work from SN and all other reports through the season, thanks! |

Somehow we did it! Avoided relegation due to a series of decent and amazing races from August onwards. Wouldn't have done so without Prevar's San Sebastian, so thank you Avin and Smowz for maxing him for me
Nepomnyachsniy is my team's best rider ever, 34th in the rankings is quite good, he only had a couple of very good races, and had bad days in others, something to improve upon next year.
Good luck to those who promote, you deserve it, and those who relegate, don't be too upset, you'll have an amazing season in the CT

One rider in Top 100 says it all, and he's in 3rd.
Definetely looking to improve my overall strenght for next year. Not only get a superstrong leader like I've done 3 years in a row now. Gazelle proved that this is very possible by almost winning the division. Congratz to roturn for having a very solid season and ending in division title! Wonder how many points they would've gotten if roturn kept LLS
Huge seasons from Gazelle, Puma, Bpost, Kenya, Evonik and also RBC ending in promotion, great to see them all go up.
If theres any team that underperformed alot and I expected to go up, is it Prio. Big shame that they are sticking around in PCT for another year, now even stronger aswell
I was pretty worried I'd go down at some point this season, but considering Brajko never really let me down(his worst result was 8th), we avoidet the last races stress like some other teams had to do deal with!
Like fjoekie sad, all who relegated(well, almost all) is off for amazing seasons in CT. Just see what Compal did when they went down.
Nemiroff last team to dodge relegation and after fighting them for major parts of the season, I look forward to facing them again next year.
Thanks for the amazingly quick season all involved and also for all the rankings update. Alot of text is nice but not necessary. Many updates are much better.

Congratz to all promotees, Knockout is truly amazing though in making it a two-year run to World Tour.

23rd overall is sort of disappointing..  I expected a bit more, but PCM once again doesn't like one dimensional riders. Moschella and Pedraza really underperformed, but Rujano really did wonders. Fantastic season by him, so thanks to Roman to selling him to me.
Cabrera season was a bit up and lows too, with most of his points coming from his very impressive Tour of America performance, but I'm scared of his wage for next season. We also got most of the achievements, and bar the Top 15 PCT standings, we got close to the rest. A great season overall, and I'm already planning next season.. Hopefuly the other managers are willing to negotiate venezuelan riders  |

PCT was probably the most fun division to follow, mostly because of the great activity of all the managers involved and the long fights for promotion and relegation. I'm really happy to see RBC will promote after all, you deserved it after one of the best transfer seasons!
Congratulations to all the other promotees, will be interesting to see what SN will decide to do with the relegating teams though

Congrats to roturn - he has turned a negative of just missing staying up last year into a big positive in promoting.
The top five were well removed in the end and fancy all five should be good enough to give PT a real swelling of strong new participants. It will be interesting who plumps up the cash for flatnose Phinney - though I suppose more wet dreams are likely saved for some of the other young guns.
Pleased that cio, Count, roturn get back and having Kenya up there with DD's team gives nice flavour.
RBC and Evonik you fancy may find it tough - but good to welcome in active guys as SotD says.
I think there are a few inactive guys in the middle unfortunately but the more active guys should always be encouraged that most PT managers had a season or two in there before exploding upwards. Bonsucro, Nutresa, Swedbank, Project: Africa come into mind as guys that are well capable of moving forwards.
At the bottom it is startling to see COC excape, I must admit I was slightly rooting for them so sorry to LLS but surely you are good favourites to win the CT next year. Bottom three was a bit of a long shot and surely TMM's outliers will actually flush this time?

Thanks for all the congrats.
It`s a great feeling to promote with two teams. Sorry knockout but I guess I helped you far too much with Lulu "Beast Mode" Sanchez.
I really thought I would have a tough season and even had moments early on where I thought I would lose the promotion fight due to seeling him.
In the end though this was a perfect season as all my riders performed very well. In especially pleased with Olivier, who showed nice talent and will make his last step now! Also it was the best decision to train Keizer after LLS left. Exactly the area I needed to improve after losing my hilly focus completely.
Boom as always a great rider to have. One of the best allrounders in the MG, so guaranteed scoring.
Best personal moment was clearly the first ever stage race win in 4 years! Thanks Keizer and the mountains in Andorra. But also the first ever win of a former level 1 rider of mine thanks to Krieger in Tachira.
Taking Groenewegen was a gamble and in the end it still is a bit as I was not able to max him due to the high salary. Then again he showed his talent in the 2nd half of the season. So I hope he can also get some decent results next year and then better ones the year after. Long term I still think this was the right decision to get a 82 sprinter as 79-80 is too common already and won`t deliver big points.
With Villella, Sbaragli, Schachmann, Scheit, Bovenhuis, Olivier, Frison all make a step up I also see my depth being PT ready even though I clearly need 1-2 leaders to guarantee points to fight against relegation. But surely have impreoved from last year, where it was close until the end.
Congrats to all other promotion riders. In especially Gazelle after waiting last year.
Down there it`s nice to see Chernobyl staying. But also pity to see Euskaltel or Lululemon going down. But lots of fun in the CT as you should do well there and quickly come back. |

Well done to all those promoting to PT, and congrats to roturn on the Title Victory with Aegon.
Commiserations to those relegating to CT next season, but I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield in 2016!
