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.
 
astana
androids with delfino leader
coldeportes
europcar
uk postal
saxo
untouchable war machines in the spring
christina watches
epm-une with sevilla leader
efapel


and i begin to love movistar because valverde seems to race more aggresive than he used to. plus he helps others too.

The Hitch said:
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

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.
