Isostar, Festina and Grieg were the teams from January, though Puma has really stepped up in February with in especially their great depth in MSR and not really their leader there alongside Herklotz dominating in Tirreno.
Isostar though still close as Phinney won them Paris Nice and also the tiple header was best of all teams with a decent enough Grand Duche to make TA forgotten.
ISA as well did profit from an extremely great team performance in MSR being 3rd best of the month ahead of Festina, EA Vesuvio or Grieg, slowly those teams really justify their top5 positions.
Evonik still struggling and waiting for their time to come. Worst of the month and the gap to the teams above becoming very big by now. Amaysim as well struggling despite winning MSR, which was though half of their monthly points.

In the full rankings Puma climbs above Isostar and those two really are the top favourites now seeing that both their leaders are able to dominate their races.
ISA best of the rest and not far off but except for their depth, they might miss the big scoring leader to challenge them all season even though their PpRD really is impressive so far.
Festina and EA Vesuvio really started well and are surely teams to watch for the title and podium fight as also Grieg as some of their top races in the classics are yet to come.
At the bottom Evonik on a weird position as also Amaysim and Moser were regular top10 teams.
Mapei, Tinkoff, Aegon or Generali kind of know the situation around the relegation line by now.

Phinney vs Herklotz for the overall crown? Lecuisinier hasn`t races as much yet and surely one rider to potentially challenge them as well.
Other than that Coquard has started well for Festina and also young Wirtgen really performed for EA Vesuvio and fill the gap Andy Schleck has left.
Same for Gidich or Gaviria, who did have a nice start to the season while Dombrowski, Summerhill, Groenewegen or Wisniowski are already regular top10 riders at that time of the season.

February was a good month, but its all still very close all the way down the standings. Cool to see Wirtgen so high individually, for now.

Can't be happy with that update, the calendar goes downhill from here on...

I am REALLY really happy about being within just 200 points of the lead at this point. I did not expect that to be honest. Positionwise in 4th is aproximately what I expected. Something like 4-6th, but the advantage gap from Puma and Isostar is significantly smaller than I anticipated - In particularly considering that neither Vlatos nor de la Cruz performs according to their level what so ever! Had they been even remotely close to doing their thing, we would have been very close to being in the lead.
Lecuisinier on the other hand have a lot of catching up to do, but I suspect he also had the least amount of RD used of compared to the leading duo. To see Coquard already about halfway to our goal two months in is really nice. There's room for some mixed results and blunders while still achieving the expected level. Also Koretzky with a MASSIVE 252 points after 4RD spent.
Everything seems remarkably close though with the likes of Evonik and Moser in the bottom 3. Surely didn't expect that, but the gap up is non-existing so it's obviously a matter of time before they start reeling back.
Grieg seems to have found a solid way of turning the wheels and with 2 upcoming cobbles in march I could see them jump up a spot or two in the next months ranking. We have enough of a gap for me to expect being still around top 5 at the end of the month, but let's see.
Thanks for the update!

Bad month for me...obviously had higher hopes with De Bie and Olivier doing the triple clash but both got a bit unlucky in late top 10, which is low scoring.
Also Portugal with Olivier was a lot worse than hoped as the hills didn`t play out to his favour. He was active in both races though, which hopefully means, at one point he will be on the more lucky side as well.
Really need the cobbles to score a bit with my newly formed cobble squad as otherwise I might really struggle to finish above the line. |

There might be an exciting fight at both ends of the PT ranking this season

Gaviria not winning San Remo might cost Isostar the win this year. The race was just made for him. It really hurts to see Moser so low as well.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

We had some nice moments so far and it is really great to see how Gidich races. Cool to see him in 5th at the moment!
However in general my team definitely needs to improve from their current position! Too many good scoring opportunities were already missed. |

A bad triple (scoring wise) as expected, but at least a good race before and after. So all in all we manage to only drop three places, and we have a great month coming up now in theory. So that looks good for the rest of the season.
Wisniowski looking good up in the top 10 already, hopefully he can continue with that. Phinney with a couple of huge scoring races so far, but Herklotz matching him pretty good. Looking forward to following the fight between them for the individual title and to see if Puma can challenge Isostar. Knockout and Evonik has been unlucky so far, a bit of a shock to see them last, but I reckon they will climb out quickly. The cobbles will probably also bring Aymasim and Mapei further up the rankings, so should be an interesting update prior to the Giro.
ISA flying so far! Will be interesting to see if they can keep it up.
Thanks for the update, roturn

Looks like a season long relegation fight for us this year. Should be a nice change after all those years fighting in top 10. Things may change quite fast with a decent race or two, but our projection is looking... well not great at the moment. 
Thanks for the update, roturn.

Did well in the triple, but that's about it and it shows in the little progress that we made.
Hopefully the duo of Gerts and Benoot will improve our scoring in the classics from recent seasons so maybe there'll be some progress in the next update as well.

there is a first time for everything...
obviously cant be happy with the season start at all. I hoped to be competitive for the title before the season started but odds are close to non-existant when the top two favourites have already 800 points advantage over us at this early point.
But things might not be 100% as terrible as they might look right now. The single worst race (TTT) is gone, our worst mountain race lineup is behind us (Tirreno) and we have plenty of race days for our Big Two left. So chances are we won't be stuck behind Xero for much longer

Sitting Top 10 without a single race day for Ryan Eastman yet. Team depth (and the PCM AI like the Zwift jersey so much it keeps it up front) is paying off. Although, I expect the upcoming cobbles to plummet us in the rankings.

Thank roturn for the update, we are doing a little bit better but PCM seems to have no love for Tinkoff this year.
