I had to do this before QuickStep went out! It can't be often they're not among the first eight teams to get off the bat.

Yeah, it would have taken a Nizzolo or Walls win (or Arndt) but they weren't really in sight. Of course, few people were in sight of Jakobsen at the line. I don't think QuickStep will stay at 2 wins for the duration of the year.

Don't do it! That's how Zubeldia got me to eat my socksI'll eat an entire shoe store if that happens.

We'll find someone, and I'll livestream it for you all to enjoy.And then if it does happen you'll just use the excuse that no shoe store owner/manager would let you.

Did you make a bet with Zubeldia, cause that would be a cool story, or did you make one about him with someone else?
It wasn’t even that, it was him finishing top 10 and best of RadioShack in 2012.@SHAD0W93: Zubeldia will be seen in a bike race.

Some wizardly foresight there!I was right.
Since yesterday they are.
Gaudu proving me very wrong, Groupama-FDJ out!Interesting that no one voted Groupama-FDJ. They have not had the best of starts, with Démare looking lackluster again. Gaudu and Küng are lining up in Algarve, but I don't really see them having much of an opportunity against some serious opposition. Unless Kung has a magical TT like at the European championships.
Slower than 2018-2020 so far though, which makes sense given that the Australian and South American races didn't happen, but I feel like almost every team getting their first win on the board in February has become the norm in recent years when March wasn't uncommon before.So who's left?
EF, Israel and DSM?
This goes faster than expected
EDIT: Oh and AG2R
