I don't really follow teams, but OPQS, Astana and Cannondale would be my favorite if I had to choose.

Generally I support people not organizations. Having said that, i like the faith some sponsors put into the sport.

So probably will look to Astana and Coledeportes. Maybe AG2R

I like the teams that have my favorite riders, so I would say in order
BMC (gilbert, Phinney, TJVG, Hushovd (if he is able to comes back), Evans)
Cannondale (Sagan, Moser)
Astana (Nibali, Vino)
Katusha (Purito)
Movistar (Valverde, Quintana).

Any team that has a GC rider who can lead a GT when Contador is within striking distance.

Is there anything better (GT wise) than Contador racing for the win when he is behind and has to go on the attack?



EDIT: For real, I like the carrots a lot. Also Liquigas and Saxo.

Euskaltel as always but IAM is really appealing to me with two swedes and an interesting sponsor from a very globalized industry.

Is this a joke? You can be lucky if they pay their riders in time.

Anyway, don't have a favorite team, but QS has a large amount of my favorite riders together.

It makes me wonder if they care, at all, for the sport of cycling.

Ok

Besides Saxo I only root for riders and not for teams. I don't see why that makes me blind childish living in a fairytale only cares for one rider doesn't care for the sport of cycling pathetic

BMC (I love all the riders)

The rest doesn't matter

I dont understand...

When a rider you never cared in a slightest about moves to BMC - you instantly love him ?

With Vino as the boss the rider has to pay Astana :D
