The C2HC event in Gerardsbeergen Bosberg saw NENT continueing their great run being top scorer followed by GCN. In Eritrea it`s a bit other way around. GCN taking the win here scoring the biggest CT points of the month. Euskaltel and Equinor following as also OMV.
Uppsala had two great CT performances. CYBEX and McCormick against the PCT and they did very well with more than 100 points!
Same goes for Adastra in Jelajah SKL and couple of teams in Apex such as Zalgiris, CYBEX or Bianchi.
In total the month goes to GCN but just a bit over CYBEX and also NENT up there to defend the lead.

As said, NENT remains the lead position having quite a gap already. GCN closed a bit but more than 100 points still. Euskaltel in 3rd just 6pts behind before another gap to Netia in 4th followed by Azteca and McCormick.
Those 6 the best teams this year while CYBEX climbed quite a bit up to 7th with a strong month.
At the bottom Eddie Stobart remains down there with Glanbia climbing a spot over Centovalli.

Amateurs
The amateurs had some solit races. Adriatic with a 92 point race in Jelajah SKL in fact take the lead from La Vie Claire with Singal Iduna following.
VIP Mobile still far down with just 1 point yet.
The rider scoring remains with Holloway in 1st (with a solid Uppsala) and Pinot in 2nd (with a GC win in Eritrea).
Nibali is having one of his best career years it seems. He needed couple of decreases to shine again and up to 3rd followed by Faiers and Kwiatkowski and also Ratiy already, who is similar to Nibali having a big season.
Intxausti as best climber still a bit below.
Krieger surprisingly high on 8th as best spritner next to Holloway, Van Keirsbulck the best cobbler so far and Moser as next best sprinter than completing the top10.
Valls, Kiserlovski, Chaves, Mohs all following in the top20 and riders, you expect to climb quite a bit still.
Again, it's a hugely positive update for the team! Although we've dropped from 2nd to 3rd, it's great to see the RD used and PPRD as we are currently projected to finish 1st.
Nibbles as mentioned has been very good! If he continues this run of form then we will definitely be in for a good season.
Moser also doing well as one of the Top 3 sprinters in the division. Again, we need him to keep going or even improve as time goes by.
Costa on the other hand has barely scored but he has also had a limited number of RDs. He's got some big races coming up shortly so I hope he starts performing well!
Overall, great points tally, but my team has to go one up if we really want to go for PCT promotion. The next races will be interesting to see how far we can progress.
One-man army Krieger's general overperformance, and Braico's surprising top 10 in Jelajah keeps us up where we want to be. I am very happy with the season so far.
