  1. Volpe: Cool team, not gonna win any grand tours but he has several one weekers and some late picks that could place or make a run. Will the Kwiat1 blow up this year?
    Bob the neo pro: Best top 3 in the league? All eggs are in the Sagan/Alaphillipe basket for the classics.
    STP_Greenline: He'll need to make some moves come transfer time. Could be a sneaky good cobbles team if the Panzerwagon pans out.
    Forza: Love the GC guys. A lot of has beens and never weres for the classics.
    Dynamic: Bad ass team, needs a new name
    Wolf Pack: He's got Valverde now, that is enough for a podium. Roelands is only cobble hopefull.

  2. Panzerwagon? Also love how everyone has an area of improvement except for the Dynamic one? If only we all could be as "bad ass" as the commish.
    Side note why the F is TinTin not racing the tour down unda? I suppose I could read an article...but I am being lazy.
    STP is going hard this year, so good luck fellas>>>La Carne Sera mia....TAAAAAAACCCCCCOOOOOO!!!!!!
