Last WT team to get a win 2018

[repre]

Re:

EF-Drapac, they don’t have any really prolific winners. At least Sunweb has Matthews and Dumoulin.

Astana looks like their only real competition.

Their only hope is Uran, who can win.

 

[hazaran]

He has 11 wins since 2007, why did you think he's at EF. That is official Vaughters policy, he only picks up cheap losers, and well, they are losers because they don't win.

 

[Escarabajo]

I want a loser who can podium on the GT's!

McLay can get a win in a small race with a weak sprinting field. Same with Modolo. If there's a hipster's penny farthing race on the calendar then I'd back Phinney to get a win

 

[Leinster]

Modolo has won races every year since 2011. He’ll win something for them. It might be stages of the Tour of Turkey or something, but it’ll count.

 

[RedheadDane]

Tour of Turkey is in October; let's hope EF has managed to get at least a few wins before then. Otherwise they'd be "winning" this in epic ways!

 

[Velolover2]

Astana have a ton of 2nd and 3rd places.

 

[RedheadDane]

And they're out!

(Astana that is.)

 

[Alexandre B.]

45 contenders out today

Go Sunweb!

 

[therealthing]

EF Education out thanks to Uran.

11 wins they said))

 

[RedheadDane]

"It's gonna be between Astana and EF."
Seems not... :lol:

 

[Anderis]

EF keeps getting the most votes in the poll year after year but they never actually win this competition.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

So that's me for Katusha, Alexandre B and A.N. Other for Sunweb, and an anonymous selector of UAE left in the battle.

Yeah, but only because LL Sanchez is Valverde's friend.

I voted for EF but I'm happy for Uran.

Who would have thought Katusha with Kittel would be at least on the podium (well, at least 3 of us).

Agreed that Astana got their win today because Sanchez is a good friend and training partner of Valverde.

 

[RedheadDane]

It's still a win.

 

[toolittle]

Top 3: Team UAE, Katusha, Sunweb
This is an odd result, in my opinion.
Who tips these 3 teams for top 3?

These 3 are high budget strong teams.
All with strong TTer / Sprinter / Punchy..

 

[hazaran]

The problem are all the nonsense races that are considered here. Frankly, it should only be *all WT teams present* races, otherwise it just becomes a game of who is most willing to send good riders to random races.

 

[Breh]

We tried to host a "Last WT team to get a WT win" but Cannondale never gave anybody a real shot at winning it as they went two years without a WT win.

 

[Anderis]

2016 was the only year in which Cannondale would win the "Last WT team to get a WT win", though.

EDIT: They wouldn't win even in 2016 because they didn't get a WT win that year, so they weren't the last team to get a win. :lol:

 

[tobydawq]

Katusha out.

UAE versus Sunweb for the win.

A very quick decision of this competition compared to other years, I assume.

 

[Krokro]

And it's not even Kittel
Surprised by the two remaining competitors.. Costa or Modolo should get one before Sunweb this week!

 

[tobydawq]

*Kristoff.

Modolo does not have much relevance to this competition anymore.

 

[Krokro]

You mean because he isn't top tier?
I just remembered having seen him either at the starlist of Algarve or Andalucia.
