Ok, so Kristoff wasn't scoring in the classics until now at all and has usually been finishing behind his domestiques. I admit I hoped for more points in the races so far, but as long as Froome hasn't raced, my season should turn better.

That was some special AI there. Phinney at least did something. The rest of that was awful.

Tim Declercq Legend!!  Two times in the breakaway, getting 12th and 13th at G-W and E3. Well done, well done.

Two good classics in E3 and GW both finished with a podium. Too bad that some of the favourites don't have the teams to pull back any attacks (Nike - Cannondale and PetroChina). This screws the AI up and the BotD can get great results. I hope that this will not turn the monuments into a lottery...
Saying that, it was a good month for Carbonsports as the riders could defend their lead in Prestige Ranking over all other teams...

Top 5 on stage 1 and 2 and 5th in the GC in Criterium International. Another good result against WT opponents.
Velits making a huge jump in the CT rankings after good consistent performances.
Cardoso also scoring this month while Costa dd not actually race this month. We are now top of the CT standings above TMM who is just behind, that was to be expected. 8th in Prestige and best of the CT teams is god. If we keep up these good performances we should be abe to promote easily.

Fantastic writing. You already had a good season so far but then, the other (expected) top teams cannot complain either.
The Ardennes will already be key races for the battle for the WT crown with all of Purito, Sagan and Gilbert having big expectations.

You may have spend the most money on research but i doubt that you spent enough to make VDB a GT Winner
But anyway, great read.
"At the moment we near the top of the WT rankings along with Liberty Seguros and CarbonSports. We feel it is just that these teams are at the top of the rankings as they are manned by the most active managers in the ICL."
I like this sentence somehow 
@Bikex: Aren't these the kind of posts you wanted in the teams thread?

Thanks guys. Also great read by you too The Rider. Like the 4 in 1 pic.
Not sure if these kind of posts are desired in the Teams thread, so my first thought was to post it here. But if so, I'll of course move the post into teams thread.

I thought it was just for the HQ, especially since not all teams have a HQ yet. But - like I said before - if Bikex prefers to see such posts in the Teams thread, I'll post them there of course.

Yeah I would prefer to have posts like that in the team thread, but here is okay too.
I just thought it would better to have those posts all together in one place. The managers that didn't reserve a HQ post yet had enough time imo and even if someone should still decide to make one, I will link them in the second post anyways. |

- knockout - I know you don't want Prorace to be winning GTs (we are your big time rivals after all), but VDB is already capable of winning a GT with some luck. No doubt he would be even more capable with some development, if he doesn't do well in the Giro/ le tour we can always get someone capable of winning a GT at the transfer period.
- SSJ2Luigi - Well if it wasn't for me and Shonak doing those posts then this thread would be even more quiet than it is. This isn't a story (where no one posting is fine), this is a story game (where, ideally in my mind, there should be lots of musings going on to enrich the ICL). However, like Shonak, I will post in the teams thread in the future.
Anyway, looking forward to the Wallonie Prijs were Gilbert will look to show Rodriguez who is boss. |

Cobbles got even worse, was expecting a lot more from Stig Boeckx, he should've done better.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Some decent AI trolling there - come 2nd 5 times (not to mention a few 3rd places) now without a single win
Nevertheless Paolini has been having a good season so far: 2nd at Omloop and Wallonie Prijs and 6th at the Ronde is definitely nothing. to complain about. Pozzato however, one half-decent result aside, is having a pretty shocking season - 46th Omloop; 56th at E3 and 30th at Ronde
