I'm really curious how your plans for the future turn out and who your new sponsors are (not even talking about the jersey on top!). I just hope they're from somewhere far from France ...
Is it a clickbait title? Yes. But one with a semblance of truth. Whist Bianchi Enel romp away with the CT title, Podium Ambition has outscored them in both March & April! The gauntlet has been thrown down to the division, we are seriously in the promotion fight!
How did this happen? One man, Chequan Richardson! Not the name you were expecting, but the one dimensional Bermudan dominated the narrative of April. The GC win in Faso, followed by stunning solo success in Dwars Door Vlaanderen propels Chequan to his highest ever ranking position of 4th. Save for an unfortunate puncture he could realistically be 3rd.
This team has not experienced such cobbles success since Geraint Thomas was on the team, and we were rocking the last years of Marcus Burghardt. We imagined the 32yo desperation transfer would get 40pts maybe, just filling in squads with our interest more on Akil Campbell or the future of Nathaniel Forbes. There's a lesson to be learned, never ever underestimate a Pirate!
Not much more to review. The month was basically all about the cobbles wins, and a few points elsewhere to keep things ticking over. Up to 3rd in the table, and projected Top5. Lots of racing to come, and supposedly more that suits the team. We are in the battle and continue to press on and secure a truly special result.
Oh - we also wanted to make a small announcement! It's known Podium Ambition will be departing the peloton after the season. Today we'd like to share with the world our new registration for the 2026 season and beyond - Japan & Fiji Let the speculation on who our specific sponsors will be commence, you will not predict what's coming, but you know you want it in the PCT.
Weird sense of pride to make the title of a podium ambition post!
Japan definitely gives you much better options going forward than the self-proclaimed kamakaize mission you're on now, so hopefully it's one that starts in the PCT
It was always clear the Pirates are better than Bianchi (sorry jt), but now it's also proven by the numbers! It's cool to see the riders not only know they have to make sure this project ends on a high but are also able to contribute to this.
& Fiji 
Let the speculation on who our specific sponsors will be commence, you will not predict what's coming, but you know you want it in the PCT.
