Which WT team will win last this year

[theyoungest]

I believe it might be Cannondale, despite the fact it's my favouirte team. I'm not sure where their first win could come from this season. They have plenty of good riders, but Dan Martin is the only one who tends to get plenty of wins each season and he is not in good form early this year.

Also, Vaughters managed to get rid of the sprinters of both Garmin and Cannondale. Viviani: gone. Farrar: gone. Von Hoff: gone. Sagan: gone (obviously).

Slagter had some injury trouble, I believe. Moser is a winner though.

 

[JRanton]

I've gone with Garmin-Cannondale. Their GC guys and climbers always start the season slowly and they don't have a sprinter.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Looks like Trek will bag a stage win in France (Jungels). Perhaps GC as well.

Confirmed. Trek are out of the race.

Lampre IMO. I just can't see where they can pick up many wins at all.

They could get something with Modolo...he isn't to bad.

 

[JRanton]

Katusha are now off the board thanks to Kristoff.

Seven teams left.

What Moser are we talking about here?

What Moser are we talking about here?

The guy with 5 wins, among which a WT stage race, in his rookie season?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Looks like Guardini will line up in Tour de Langkawi (starts 8th March). Good chance to grab a win, but its still a month out.

Anyway lots of races coming up in the next few weeks.

Hasn't won a race in two years though. It's hard to call him a winner at this point. He's got a decent start of the season in Australia, I'll give you that, but I'd be surprised if he gets Garmin first win of the year.

Exactly this,I dont know what to think about that guy.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

So the big favorite (mine as well) Lampre can be taken off the list.

Does a rider winning a national championship count?

Well Jumbo is gonna win anyway.

About half of the voters still in the run.

 

[therhodeo]

I vote Euskatel for old times sake.

 

[Jspear]

Tinkov will probably be the next to win something.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Astana picks up a win in Murcia via Taaramae's solo effort.

 

[TMP401]

So people were right to give Astana 0 votes. We are left with

Lotto have rarely any winners. Maybe van Asbroek, but even that is a test on WT level.

Van Asbroeck isn't a winner. He had just 2 wins last year, not much for a sprinter who hardly rides WT races.

Hofland is a more obvious pick, but even he doesn't win that often.

Astana's gone.
