Quite a long time since update 1, hence just like in PT, a month for month overview before the post May ranking update!
Keep in mind, some races are yet to be raced such as Romandie, Cheshire, Dunkerque, Besseges. Those will be added automatically later for the 3rd update.
February
February saw Cerveceria take the crown with good results in the uphill events Langkawi and Gisborne. GCN and Compal up there as well with an even better race in Malaysia. Swisslion as best in Kuurne Brussels Kuurne also above 200 points.
Andorra and Adastra scored decent in C1 Catalunya while Delvaux also had a decent PCT challenge in Castelo.
Hong Kong then saw Adastra and Valio score big.

March
Sauber scored good in C1 KBC De Panne and started their solid month! With the win in Juarez they got a huge score for a C2 event!
Roma Maxima saw Delvaux once more battle the PCT teams with decent a decent result while Le Samyn wasn`t worth it for the CT teams.
Java had huge Andorra scoring. 2nd best of all participating teams even! Their key for 2nd in the March ranking alongside a great Tour of Turkey as top scoring team.
Rothaus up on the podium with decent cobble and sprint results.

April
The C1 events in Nakhon, Cyprus, Socchi and Corsica were mainly worth it for Valio with decent scoring against PCT teams in all of them! Minor points only for all the others.
Midi Libre was won by Andorra and only Swisslion and Banco Bogota got 100+ points out of those 7 stages.
Coppa Placchi went to Campari while Compal did win Betonexpressz in the C2 classics, while CT teams scored in HC races even. Swisslion in Ukraine and Delvaux amazingly in Veeneendal.
Lincoln GP for Campari.
Valio with points in all events but the HC races spent a lot of race days but scored pretty well and dominated April. Swisslion and Andorra with the C2HC points follow ahead of Delvaux and Banco Bogota with consistent scoring.

May
The month started with the ITT events. Andorra took the win in Windhoek but Sauber actully outscored them due to their depth. Arenberg was more a cobbled race and was dominated by the PCT.
Faso as only other C2HC race saw Swisslion winning but again another team scored the most. This time Delvaux. Both far ahead of the rest.
Eritrea got CT scoring from Andorra and GCN. Not that much but okay against PCT teams. A lot more than in Olympia at least where couple of teams got less than 10 points.
Trentino as C2 event had big 100+ scorings by Adastra and Compal.
Month wise Swisslion and Delvaux just over 200 points lead the ranking ahead of Andorra closely behind.

Full Ranking
As said, some races still need to be posted, but this should give a very good picture already!
The RD and PpRD overview is not 100% correct as it doesn`t include those missing races scoring but includes the race days. So you can ignore it a little bit.
Valio as most consistent so far and actually not even spending that many more rd`s. They are clearly above of the rest and are favourite for the title.
Andorra following but also has by far the most race days used, so they might struggle in the 2nd half of the year.
Delvaux and Swisslion just like Cerveceria have a solid PpRD and show up well in several races. Even against PCT teams.
GCN, Compal, Sauber and other teams still with good chances to jump into the promotion spots though.
At the bottom Eddie Stobart and Equinor struggling the most but also Zalgiris, Telia or BNZ have a sup optimal PpRD value.

Amateurs
Let`s make it fast. Festina is easily the best amateur team with scorings in Cypurs and Corsica after already doing well early on in Tachira.
Eritel had a good Cyprus as well, which proved to be a decent amateur event anyway with 5 scoring teams. And good to see them also score in their home race!
Signal Iduna on the last podium spot ahead of Bianchi and Wiesenhof.
Risa Ergon without a single score yet but not far behind B&O and RBC with less than 10 points each.
Pinot and Gautier still high up there in the rider ranking. But they got passed by Kiserlovski and König. They rarely rode against each other really, in especially Kiserlovski vs Pinot. But so far the fight for the best stage racer goes to the Andorra rider.
Valio with 2 inside the top4 is crazy and shows their domaintion in the CT. Delvaux as well with Breen and Guarnieri and Swisslion with Zhupa and Brajkovic. Good depth and great to decent individual riders are key for promotion. Kluge/Teuns another example for Cerveceria.
Mixed feelings but overall good ones. 2nd place so far is outstanding, and really captures the improval we'ver had this season. I was expecting a 4th/5th in the maximum, but the issue really is the race days, although we do still have races where we can score well, they are limited so it is necessary to keep having a very strong showing. And the last part of the season favours the teams with puncheurs and classics men which is where Delvaux and Cervecaria will strike me. GCN and Swisslion if they have a strong second part of the season they can also easily output us.
But in anyways it's a positive review, getting to may in 2nd was a goal in the begining of the season but an somewhat irealistic, so I'm proud and very hopeful to keep up the results, and above all bring the Tour of Andorra home, even more as Kiserlovski looks set for a potential real fight for the individual standings, and with Bulgaria and Venteaux there are still some points to capture later.
Good February and May months for my team. March was decent-ish, but April really put me back. It's almost certain that promotion would be out of reach, but strong midfield finish is on the cards.
Speaking of my team all but 4 riders (Bole, Hristov, Zaraliev and Mihaylov) scored points in the rankings which is massive improvement over the quantity. The quality however needs a little bit of tweaking. Panayotov's Trentino hat-trick evelated him just shy of Top 10 and is our biggest point contributor. From Bardet however I'd expect better. There are some big races comming as well as the flagship race - Tour of Bulgaria
Almost a bit surprised to see us in third, as I can't think of that many races where we've really scored big results. Looking at the month to month overview, we're gathering decent points steadily though, so our depth-approach is definitely working out, which is really nice to see
The goal is to finish the season with a PPRD of >12, so good to see we are on track to do that, actually not that far off Valio either!
Well, not overly nice to see a big fat zero there But oh well, development and history the most important for us tbh. At the top it looks very good for both Valio and Delvaux. I have my fingers crossed for them!
We have been very up and down this season, good news is that only Olei is scoreless for us so far, so we clearly have good depth if everyone above level 1 has scored.
Hopefully we have a few more months like March or May as the season progresses so we can push on for a chance at taking one of the automatic promotion places.
Btw the ranking says that risa ergon have 0 points but in the rider ranking their riders have scored 25 points. Not sure if others teams are similarly effected but it confused me to not see their whole team on 0 if they haven't got any points as a team.
