Team
The clear standout performers of February are Slipstream. Shining in Egypt and Langkawi aswell as the ProTour Qatar and California races, Slipstream end the month as leaders of the continental tour. 2nd place for Huff on the final stage pushed Slipstream past Fed-Ex, who they now hold a 13 point lead over.
The rest of the teams in the top 6 did not race while B&O make their first steps towards the ProTour with a huge 281 points, which puts them 7th. They are tied on points with Dasani, who have done surprisingly well so far this season.
LA/MSS/Pearl Jam enter the rankings at 10th.
Good performances from Nippo (3rd best team in the race after B&O and Pearl Jam) and Procycling see them go 12th and 13th.

Thought I just might have a shot at that points jersey....but a stage win and a Top-Ten will have to suffice. |

Dasani is having a helluva season. For a first year team that really didn't participate in transfers your results already overshadow Slipstream's results of last season.
WOOOOOO top of the leaders board for the first time!!!!! I just threw my hands into the air in celebration. Now to watch us crash and burn for the rest of the season.

wow finally Nippo does well, Jimenez and BErnabeu both in the top 10 while Abakoumov and Anuawar did great on that stage were they were 1-2. Add Anuawars points jersey to that and the fact that we were 3rd in the team gc and I have to say that Nippo's bad luck seems to be overB)

Wow, nice to get home to completed Langkawi.
I shouldn't really be allowed to be dissapointed with the outcome with 2nd, 3rd and 11th in the GC plus 4 stage wins, but still it was a bit sad losing the jersey the way I did. I'm just grateful it was only Van Huffel who got away in that break. Otherwise it would have been awful for me. 
But nevertheless I'm very very happy with the outcome of this race.
Oh and SN, was Jørgensen injured in the final part of the race also?

Yeh, Jorgenson never recovered and was always quick to be dropped.
Moving into Procycling manager mode: Go Martin!!!! Awesome to grab a stage win. Also what a great surprise to have a top 10 GC rider in a race with mountains, Go Wegelius! Good work by Roche, Jiriakov, Blythe and Ma too.
