International Rhodes Grand Prix 1.2
The team travelled to Rhodes to compete in the Grand Prix, We came into this the game plan of all riders to ride at the front of the peloton this way we can control the pace while also hoping to stay out of trouble. The leader for the day and the setup was built around Julius JOHANSEN with Michele GAZZOLI there just incase the race came down to a sprint. Unfortunately we couldn't hold out for the win and came 3rd in the race HOWEVER this is a historic moment for the team as we came top of the Team Standings.

Stage1-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We go in this tour with the Lector 2018 model and the feedback from the team is that they have a better feeling from the bike than the previous 2011 model which we have used in past races, We entered this race as favourites and going by the setup of stage 1 we got this right by getting all the jersey's & the first Stage WIN for Canon Lucozade.
Yukiya ARASHIRO will go down in the history books by taking the first win for the team after following the train created.

Stage3-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A mountain top finish which for our team is not ideal however the team supported each well until the later km in the race where we just didnt have enough power to catch up with the break away group which had the yellow jersey rider in it.
We once again take top spot of the Team standings

Stage4-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We came into this stage with the green jersey & the hope of winning it however with the finish being uphill this did not suit any of our riders - the race it self was well under our control however the mistake of starting a sprint at 1.5km and the uphill finish made sure we lost the race.

Stage5-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This tour started off so well however race after race the other teams started marking out whatever moved the team made , We tried to get a rider in the breakaway however the peloton would not allow any of our riders to ride away, Once we sat away. Once we sat back and a break away was made we did try and chase it down however no teams was willing to help and sat back.
Overall this Tour has been successful as we got our first ever win & in our 2nd race weekend brought back the Team standings first place.

Popolarissima 1.2
After such a positive tour we came into this with a sense of winning this event & with a sponsor goal of Top5 we thought this was achievable. unfortunately during the race our main rider who we set up to win the race crashed Arashiro, With this in mind we tried to change the plan but the decision to start the team train at 10km was a wrong decision which resulted in our riders being over taken in the last 1.5km
With the crash we did not meet the sponsor's goal however for the 3rd event in a row the team has won the team standings so this certainly shows we are doing something GREAT.

Tour Cycliste International de la Pharmacie Centrale de Tunisie 2.2
With 2 riders feeling great we had our leader for the Arashiro set-up with a fail safe of our sprinter Gazzoli. Unfortunately due to a tactical error our team train broke up around 3km mark. I would personally like to apologise to Gazzoli as we didn't put him in any sort of position to win the race but he done his best and got 7th
#Stage 2 would not load so kept this to 1 day.

We came into the race as favourites and we are finding it hard to get any of our plans into motion however today's focus was to achieve the mountain jersey but doing this the race ended up opening up for an actual stage win, As teams around us didnt w ant to take on our train - Great lead out from Pidcock but congratulations to Julius Johansen.
