9 races for the CT teams of which the biggest scoring came from the C2HC events in Slovenie and Andorra as also from C2 stage race Tropicale Amissa Bongo. The other events were C2 Lillestrom, HC Kigali and Denmark for some teams and C1 in Japan, South Africa and Monterrey TTT for several teams against the PCT division.
June
The Tour of Andorra saw the biggest points in June with Compal Merida taking the crown due to Suaza`s win. Adastra, Telia and GCN all with decent performances as well. Slovenie as other C2HC race had a rare big score for Eddie Stobart! Travis Meyer really had a solid month and took the win there with Campari, Banco Bogota and some other teams having good results as well.
Amissa Bongo was won by GCN`s Keukeleire! Good result for an African team, even though with an European rider. Equinor came closest with just 20 points less. Lillestrom then was topped by Campari just ahead of Cerveceria.
Some teams tried to challenge the PCT teams in some C1 events. Most successful was Andorra in the Monterrey TTT with a good 40 points/classic as also Sauber with 39 points in Japan, which is not as good due to more stages. Also Zalgiris in Japan and South Africa had some points.
Some even tried to challenge against the PCT in the HC division and Delvaux showed how you can perform well on this level. Not so much this month though as they did it again but "only" got 10 points in Kigali while Swisslion at least got 18 points in 5-day Denmark Tour.
In full Compal takes the month with 263 points, which is just 3 more than Banco de Bogota. Also Campari, GCN and Eddie Stobart with 200+ performances.
At the bottom Rothaus with a bad month of much racing but low scoring, which never is good and also BNZ with less than 100 points.

Full Ranking
Easy to say that the CT is the only division, which is still thrilling for the first spot. Valio remains in the pole position but lost a lot of their gap and it`s down to 3 points to Andorra and also Delvaux is within 30 points!
Then another 3 teams within small points for the rest of the promotion spots ins Cerceceria, GCN and Swisslion and also not that far behind Sauber with just under 1000 points.
Compal, Banco Bogota, Adastra form the upper midfield, which is still in promotion area in case of one big race performance!
At the bottom Eddie Stobart has passed Equinor the the last spot. DK Zalgiris also struggles with TElia and BNZ just ahead with Overfranken, Rothaus and ENI MOL in the middle of nowhere.

Amateurs
This update had some solid Amateur results actually including a KoM jersey win of MG legend Contador in the Romandie and a stage win by Bianchi iirc! Well done amateurs.
In especially races such as Japan, Amissa Bongo, Lillestrom and South Africa proved decent with 20-40 points scored by several teams in those.
Festina remains in the top position due to their early success with Kip and couple other performances all season. Signal Iduna climbs up to 2nd which emans Eritel has dropped. They even got passed by Bianchi and Becherovka.
At the bottom Risa with still 0 points! And also B&O with only 8.

Individual Ranking
Kiserlovski surely had some weaknesses this month and was beaten by several other climbers/stage racers he used to beat in the spring months.
That said, he still is far ahead of the rest which slowly becomes a stage racer competition in the CT with Pinot and Suaza on the podium and König just behind. More or less a lot of the expected names for the individual crown.
Behind a somewhat less expected one with Vegard Breen, who is having a huge season for Delvaux and makes a lot forgetten, what Guarnieri is losing out for them.
Kluge as best cobbler as 6th with Gautier as best puncheur following next ahead of Panayotov, who is apparently being planned very well offside the biggest names. Zhupa as 10th also a little bit surprising ahead of names such as Meyer, Warbasse or Teuns, who were expected higher. Similar for Di Maggio, who is a huge surprise package, yo really can`t judge properly.
Some solid CT scoring for some teams. Andorra climbed with the best in Romandie with Kiserlovski being a top5 scorer in the C1 event. Also Cerveceria did quite well with 60 points.
Most extreme example of CT in HC in the MG history might have been Delvaux in Cheshire. Vegard Breen also did a scoring top5 there which results in 117 points.
It's a shame to have used so many more race days than everyone else around me, I think if I want to have any chance of finishing in a promotion spot now then I have to hope the teams around me are going to America.
On the more positive side of things I want to give a shout out to Gabby who is up to 24th and is our best rider on the individual standings. I'm surprised that isn't held by Salleh but his season hasn't been the best, missing out on stages quite often due to breaks or just having a bad sprint.
OH man! With Romandie in it means we lead!! Major so far, Kiserlovski doing fastastic despite his Andorra hickup. It is looking very good, almost 400 points lead over GCN, altough lots of race days already I am starting to dream of PCT, it's looking like a legitimate possiblity.
Andorra and Bongo results could really have been the makers or breakers of our season! Keukeleire and Pinot proving vital this year and it is refelcted in the Individual standings as well.
Hoping our end of season drop doesn't appear like it has in previous years... we need to keep this Top 5 push
too bad Richie Porte couldn't deliver a single solid TT so far.
