GP Costa degli Etruschi

Fabio Felline

Tour of Qatar

Adam Blythe
Arnaud Demare
Tyler Farrar
Filippo Pozzato
Mark Renshaw


Not big in terms of numbers, but Farrar and Renshaw could rack up both plenty stage wins/placings and crush the overall. Both have excellent supporting casts. If Cav has his regular slow start to the season I could feeling pretty good this time next week.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Bouhanni is doing very well and could have a big season. Very nice pick by those who have him.

 

[skidmark]

Etruschi

Moreno Moser (first pro race!)
Sacha Modolo
Enrico Battaglin
Fabio Felline

Qatar

Taylor Phinney
Arnaud Demare
Yoann Offredo
Filippo Pozzato
Tom Boonen

Tour Med

Rafal Majka
Allan Davis

I look forward to seeing my lineup in the many small Italian races this year, I expect to be in with a shot with many of my guys. I also hope it's true that Offredo just gets to keep racing until further notice, not only is he on my team but he's one of my favourites in the peloton.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Bouhanni doing well again.

Rolland as well.

I'm confident I won't be 2nd last next update.

 

[Moondance]

Indeed.

I'd never even heard of him. My loss, clearly.

Turns of I have quite a few riding Etruschi:

Moreno Moser
Daniele Ratto
Romain Bardet
Sonny Colbrelli
Enrico Battaglin
Fabio Felline
Antonio Santoro

They probably won't earn me any points though

Decent line up in Tour Med though:

Romain Bardet
Wout Poels
Rafal Majka
Kenny Elissonde
Thibaut Pinot
Angel Madrazo
Nairo Quintana

And finally it looks as though Pelucchi will be doing Langkawi - he will be this years Guardini

some hope in Battaglin... but maybe he will work for Modolo

As far as I can see at least.

 

[will10]

I thought Davis was riding Mallorca?

 

[Jancouver]

I think I have 10 guys in Qatar most of them "fast" guys so I hope to score some points

[greenedge]

Is the Costa Etruschi a hard race where sprinters get to the end or a race that usually ends in a sprint?

 

[greenedge]

I'd never even heard of him. My loss, clearly.

He has articles in Procycling but he has shot to prominence as of now.

Moser might go well for Liquigas unless if he has to ride for someone,

That Tour of Meditteranean team looks like every person there could win a stage. You have Madrazo, Quintana, Pinot and maybe Poels/ Majka ( if serious for Giro GC ) for the overall as well.

I really wish I would've taken Poels, he is one of my favorite riders.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Is the Costa Etruschi a hard race where sprinters get to the end or a race that usually ends in a sprint?

It "always" ends in a sprint. Last year Viviani won and I think he's the favorite this year as well. There's also Petacchi who's won the race 6 times (well, 5 officially...). That's why I don't think any of my riders will earn any points - Colbrelli could potentially but he's working for Modolo. Perhaps Felline will earn me a few.

Profile for GP Etruschi: ______/\___________________________________|
It's always a bunch sprint.

 

[skidmark]

Wooo Modolo gets some decent points. As both my most expensive and unique pick, I'm hoping he performs consistently all season (unlike last year, where he barely scored anything before July). Almost 10% to last year in one race...

 

[gerundium]

hoping to get out of nearly last place and into bottom middle.

 

[greenedge]

Thx for telling me. I was hoping Moser could get some points but i am just glad he helped his teammate get the win.

Anyone who has Cav might be screwed for Qatar and maybe even M-SR.

 

[Eric8-A]

I got some twenty-something points with Belletti today.

 

[FF'Wilco]

With the start of Qatar im expecting first big score for my team with Renshaw as a possible stage winner and gc winner and Boonen as another candidate for high places on both stages and gc. Score around 200 points from Qatar is a must
