Update 16: The Ardennes classics bring back the suspense
Two weeks ago Mellow Velo was destroying the competition, leading by more than 500 points. Now, after the Ardennes classics, things are looking quite different, as TeoSheva has overtaken the lead. In the last two weeks, Mellow Velo has scored only 561 points while TeoSheva has scored 1442 points mainly because of Vanendert and the two classic winners, Gasparotto and Iglinskiy.
The top of the leaderboard is very close now, though. In fact, when Iglinskiy passed Nibali a few hundred meters before the finishing line in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, TeoSheva also literally passed Mellow Velo in the standings.
Two teams enter the top 10 this week: MADRAZO for the first time (I think) and Popchu who's back after only one week outside the top 10.
