And we're back for another ranking update! Let's have a look at the previous month in the table below.
Some things to take away:
* Ethiopian Airlines wins this months thanks to their C1/C2 scoring
* Bianchi still doing well, definitely thanks to a great Milano - Torino as well
* Tafjord scores only in one race this month, but they score quite nicely there
* Glanbia is the worst team of the month, despite scoring in all C1/C2 races
| Last | | Team | Aug | San | Gis | Tre | Dan | Jap | Lug | Mil | | 1 |  | Ethiopian Airlines | 280 | 100 | 3 | 117 | 0 | 60 | 0 | 0 | | 2 |  | SEE Turtles | 257 | 126 | 0 | 71 | 0 | 29 | 0 | 31 | | 3 |  | Peugeot - Bancolombia | 242 | 29 | 56 | 94 | 48 | 0 | 15 | 0 | | 4 |  | Bianchi Enel | 215 | 53 | 36 | 0 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 110 | | 5 |  | Parmalat - Ecopetrol | 150 | 38 | 0 | 88 | 0 | 24 | 0 | 0 | | 6 |  | Podium Ambition | 134 | 79 | 0 | 55 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 7 |  | Euskotren - Pays Basque | 125 | 13 | 0 | 7 | 78 | 0 | 0 | 27 | | 8 |  | IncaLine Pro Cycling | 122 | 12 | 0 | 64 | 0 | 36 | 10 | 0 | | 9 |  | Kone-Nordea | 117 | 22 | 0 | 54 | 6 | 35 | 0 | 0 | | 10 |  | Tafjord Kraft | 110 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 110 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 11 |  | Kraftwerk Man Machine | 90 | 66 | 0 | 20 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | | 12 |  | Euskadi-Murias | 84 | 58 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 22 | 0 | | 13 |  | The ONE - Fox God | 68 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 15 | 41 | 0 | 0 | | 14 |  | Team Zappes Kölsch | 63 | 9 | 0 | 45 | 0 | 9 | 0 | 0 | | 15 |  | Air New Zealand-Prada | 45 | 18 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 27 | 0 | 0 | | 16 |  | Glanbia | 27 | 10 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 0 |
And what does this give in the total rankings?
Some things to take away:
* Bianchi stays in the lead, it will be very hard to beat them for the title
* Ethiopian Airlines jumps over Kraftwerk after a good month for the former, same stuff happening right under them as well, where Peugeot leaves Euskadi behind
* SEE Turtles biggest jump of the month here, from 8 to 6, with Podium and Euskotren losing one spot each
* Places 9 to 16 everything stays the same
| Pos | Last | | Team | Before | Aug | Total | RD | PpRD | Proj | | 1 | 1 | | Bianchi Enel | 1525 | 215 | 1740 | 120 | 14,5 | 2030 | | 2 | 3 | | Ethiopian Airlines | 1169 | 280 | 1449 | 115 | 12,6 | 1764 | | 3 | 2 | | Kraftwerk Man Machine | 1213 | 90 | 1303 | 110 | 11,85 | 1659 | | 4 | 5 | | Peugeot - Bancolombia | 907 | 242 | 1149 | 103 | 11,16 | 1562 | | 5 | 4 | | Euskadi-Murias | 990 | 84 | 1074 | 111 | 9,68 | 1355 | | 6 | 8 | | SEE Turtles | 768 | 257 | 1025 | 108 | 9,49 | 1329 | | 7 | 6 | | Podium Ambition | 858 | 134 | 992 | 109 | 9,1 | 1274 | | 8 | 7 | | Euskotren - Pays Basque | 824 | 125 | 949 | 121 | 7,84 | 1098 | | 9 | 9 | | Parmalat - Ecopetrol | 633 | 150 | 783 | 116 | 6,75 | 945 | | 10 | 10 | | Tafjord Kraft | 628 | 110 | 738 | 110 | 6,71 | 939 | | 11 | 11 | | IncaLine Pro Cycling | 565 | 122 | 687 | 111 | 6,19 | 867 | | 12 | 12 | | Kone-Nordea | 526 | 117 | 643 | 118 | 5,45 | 763 | | 13 | 13 | | The ONE - Fox God | 477 | 68 | 545 | 118 | 4,62 | 647 | | 14 | 15 | | Team Zappes Kölsch | 452 | 63 | 515 | 117 | 4,4 | 616 | | 15 | 14 | | Glanbia | 455 | 27 | 482 | 118 | 4,08 | 571 | | 16 | 16 | | Air New Zealand-Prada | 435 | 45 | 480 | 121 | 3,97 | 556 |
And now, individually, you can find the full table below.
Most important stuff to remember:
* Perera still the king of CT
* Moscon jumping to second after his great HC performance
* Galta steadily rising
* The two Colombian Santiago's also with a nice jump inside the top-10 now
* The fact that Carsi is top-20 is crazy
| Pos | Last | Rider | Nat | | Team | Total | | 1 | 1 | Madushanka Perera | SRI | | Ethiopian Airlines | 440 | | 2 | 16 | Gianni Moscon | ITA | | Bianchi Enel | 324 | | 3 | 2 | Cees Bol | NED | | Kraftwerk Man Machine | 322 | | 4 | 6 | Fredrik Strand Galta | NOR | | Peugeot - Bancolombia | 320 | | 5 | 3 | Leonardo Basso | ITA | | Bianchi Enel | 315 | | 6 | 25 | Santiago Montenegro | ECU | | SEE Turtles | 298 | | 7 | 17 | Santiago Buitrago | COL | | Ethiopian Airlines | 287 | | 8 | 4 | Dion Smith | NZL | | Bianchi Enel | 276 | | 9 | 8 | Anthony Turgis | FRA | | Euskadi-Murias | 263 | | 10 | 7 | Matti Manninen | FIN | | Kone-Nordea | 260 | | 11 | 5 | Ryan Gibbons | RSA | | Bianchi Enel | 252 | | 12 | 10 | Matus Stocek | SVK | | Euskotren - Pays Basque | 243 | | 13 | 9 | Rok Korosec | SLO | | Bianchi Enel | 226 | | 14 | 41 | Gabriel Chavanne | SWI | | Ethiopian Airlines | 202 | | 15 | 11 | Maximilian Walscheid | GER | | Team Zappes Kölsch | 202 | | 16 | 15 | Mustafa Carsi | TUR | | Euskadi-Murias | 197 | | 17 | 12 | Victor Lafay | FRA | | Euskotren - Pays Basque | 197 | | 18 | 28 | Daniel Habtemichael | ERI | | Kraftwerk Man Machine | 188 | | 19 | 13 | Sam Harrison | GBR | | Kraftwerk Man Machine | 187 | | 20 | 14 | Chequan Richardson | BER | | Podium Ambition | 183 |

Steady climbing and another good month, I like that. Promotion looks more and more likely specially considering we still have the least race days used. Also nice to know we get 22,5 pprc from Pro Halstatt not here and still Austria and Maroc for Galta after that and Romandie. Can't catch Bianchi, Jt just solved the game, but fingers crossed for a top 2!
Also quite happy with Galta in 4th, should be top 3 for the season and I say that has been good value for him (even though I hoped for 1st) and with Thomsa/BVL/Vincent having okay seasons, and Kopfauf being Kopfauf (awesome) I am quite happy

Very good update for us, I figured we'd be up there but hadn't realised just how good our August was. It feels like promotion and even a podium finish is firmly within our grasp now barring anything crazy happening.
Looking at the individual rankings, really nice to see two guys in the top 10 with Madu still first, as well as Gabby up to 14th.
Title is obviously decided but the race for promotion and the podium is still exciting - looks like it'll be a nailbiter between Euskadi and the turtles for 5th, excited to see where that goes!

Very happy obviously, looks like Moscons latest results in Torino is probably going to get us over the line for the title bar some Galta heroics to finish the season
Great seasson by Dave, Dippo and Heine, really strong seasons by all starting to look very safe top 4 now Euskadi and my pre-season surprise pick Turtles being next is cool to see both very safe to go up now and well deserved. I do think Turtles will move up to 5th by end of the year
Parmalet been a bit of a surprise further down didn't expect them to be as good so congrats to them and with the disbands would not be shock if those and Tajord make the promotion cut as well and come to PCT next year |

The fact Chequan is still out top scoring rider really says everything you need to know about this Podium Ambition season. And yet, we are still, somehow, just about, hanging onto the fringes of promotion. Still time to pull off the fairy tale finale!

Nice point haul in that one race we scored in, but we're far too long behind to make it matter. Thanks for the wonderful write up Nemo! |

 Santiago is a proud Ecuadorian!!!
What a strong month for us and a real joy to watch throughout the entire period. Really proud of what our team has pulled together and we truly hope that we can challenge for that top five after three years. Either way, really proud!
Thank you Nemo and again to all the reports this past month!

Huuum, not too bad. 8th seems sealed, if Parmalat doesn't do a 2023 Ekoi last 2 months, but there are no ToA or Sans Luis to come. Some of the races at least should suit us, even though we have the greatest RD count of the division. And we could still pass PA, though I don't wish too.
Renard as our 3rd best scorer is wild and a bit unexpected, but also nice.
Thanks for the work! This could get exciting at the top.

To spoil some parties: keep in mind the first two PT or PCT disbands will be used to reduce the PCT to 22 teams as stated in the planned changes for next season thread (it's point 1 ...). So it's less likely that spots further down the order will lead to disband promotion this season.

Never have I wanted a pity point this much just to hit a funny number :'
On a more serious note Im glad to have the best season since I started, even though its still at the bottom of the pack. Really gives me hope for next seasons! Thx for the announcement |
