Mostly thanks to a phenonemal Tour of the Middle East, HelloFresh leads the way in July, and that race (as the only C2HC stage race of the month) determines a lot of these standings, with McCormick for instance gaining 97% of their points there. But many teams scored well elsewhere, too, including Trans Looney Tunes, Gjensidige, Volcanica - Fox and Glanbia.
Crabbe-CC Chevigny, third place in the overall rankings of the last update, find themselves at the bottom with few scoring opportunities, joined by BNZ-Superhero Racing and Tafjord Kraft.

Period Rankings Part II: August
HelloFresh was absolutely crushing it over these past two months. With an incredibly successful HC race in Benelux, as well as a strong Tour de Langkawi, they firmly cement their place as the top team in the division. Both Trans Looney Tunes and Gjensidige perform well once again, too. Aramco bounced back from a - for their standards - rather poor July and Trans Looney Tunes did very well, once again.
Crabbe and BNZ-Superhero find themselves in the bottom three again, and Tafjord Kraft couldn't improve much either, but they're still slightly ahead of Eddie Stobart, who were unable to score outside of Langkawi.

Full Rankings
As I mentioned above, HelloFresh really put their stamp on this division over the last couple of months. Having been a close second in the previous update, they pull away and lead with over 300 points while still having the most race days left of the Top 6.
Aramco is still comfortably in second place and can make PCT plans as well for next year, but then it gets murkier. Trans Looney Tunes look pretty solid on their way to promotion, but it's not set in stone yet. Crabbe-CC Chevigny in 4th is just 128 points ahead of Volcanica - Fox in 6th, but the Costa Rican outfit still has a bunch more race days left. And going down the line, even Pas Normal Studios, McCormick and Strava are only one or two good races away from fighting for the Top 5 again - let alone any further spots that might qualify them for promotion as well.
On the other end of the spectrum, Tajford Kraft moves past BNZ-Superhero Racing, both not ahead by much of last placed Eddie Stobart, but pretty far behind BWT Hyundai N Cycling and Glanbia Foods Cycling Project, who are somewhat caught in the middle of nowhere.

Individual Rankings
Fabio Jakobsen still has a firm hold on the individual rankings, while Enric Mas and HelloFresh duo Kump and Elissonde move into the Top 5 behind Andrei Amador. Tomoyuki Iino and Sepp Kuss climb into the Top 15, while Crabbe's main guys in Tsatevich, Vanderbiest and Declerq are all moving down, as the team rankings reflect.
Thanks we keep scoring in the mid range, no big points hauls usually but consistent performances. I doubt we will climb higher esp with America coming up but I prefer to see some.nice stage wins anyway
"It’s a little bit scary when Contador attacks." - Tommy V
Not our most amazing period combined with HelloFresh absolutely killing it has unfortunately made it pretty unlikely that we'll have much of a title race coming into the last 2 months of the season. Still very happy of course to be all but confirmed for promotion.
Jakobsen as leading individual isn't too surprising when you consider that period he had. He's still got another race or 2 ahead of him where he could/should score well.
Mas 3rd is respectable as his season comes to an end. Can't complain too much with that.
Cosnefroy and Thomas both around the 200 mark but both with a few potentially high scoring races so it'd be nice to see one or both closer to the Top 15.
Would like to see a strong end to the season for Paez too!
Thank you for the update and will definitely be following the rest of the promotion fight
Thanks for doing this, absolutely amazing set of races for us as we look to be marching on to a great first place finish in the team standings which was the goal for this season.
Again it has been a pretty good fight with Aramco who I looked forward to seeing in PCT next year too, the remaining promotion race is going to be intense to follow!
Things could have been better, but unfortunately Chaves under performed all season so far. Amador pulled his weight though and he is joined by Boivin there so it is rewarding to see them up in the individual ranking. We are within the goal of top 10 and it might be the only goal we reach this season. If we remain at CT level there's not much of the problem, our main goal is to build a competitive team of Central American talents.
Thank you very much for the rankings!
Thanks for the update cunego!
Nice to see a real battle for the promotion spots As expected we dropped down a bit. I wouldn't mind staying in CT to be honest.
