Is EF one of the first 3 teams to have confirmed their squad for Trofeo Calvia? According to PCS they are. What happened?

PCS had those names up two weeks ago.
So the actual seven for Calvia are from that list.

I was just looking a Powless's stats for 2024,
He was off to a slow start that year but finnished strong about 90% of his 1,155 UCI points after the TdF.
So I hope that means he will carry that into this spring.

Yet another race and yet another non result, althouugh this one was bound to happen when they brought no sprinters to a sprinters' race.

It still annoys me how many times they've brought no sprinters to a sprinters' race in recent years, though.

Their sprinter was busy in Mallorca today.

Amazing what it can do to your results if you send a sprinter to a sprinter's race instead of not doing so.

I think EF only has one sprinter when I look at the roster.

And in the post race interview Van den Berg said he isn't riding on Sunday, which is supposed to favor sprinters.

It seems that this year, EF is either winning or finishing outside top20 altogether, with the latter being far more frequent.

They have so many riders who could potentially thrive in those early season hilly races but for some reason it's not happening and they ride like if they were the weakest WT team by a margin. We'll see if they'll make up for it later in the season.

You overlooked how Chaves sneakily got EF's 2nd biggest result this year by unexpectedly finishing 11th in Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.

UCI points so far this year

Cepeda's 2nd place in Ecuador national championships is the 2nd biggest result as far as UCI points go.

I was watch the Chaves live the other night though

They are such a forgettable team

One of the most striking jerseys, a lot of wins in 2024 and attacking, visible riders with a lot of fighting spirit. like Carapaz and Healy. Not afraid to bet on a lot of young riders either. I don't know what more you could reasonably ask of them.[[content deleted]]

Nah EF
I just don't find them inspiring. JV isn't helping but if most of your identity is you being pink than meh
It wasn't reason enough for me to go watch that Barbie movie and it doesn't move for EF either. I only really payed attention when Sep was riding for them.
