The Dutch mafia is all going to vote for BMC

Is there any doubt that they will 'win' this? Both the poll and the actual race to be last?

 

[jens_attacks]

voted bmc because they have only one who wins races...cadel

 

[El Pistolero]

I voted Leopard because the Schlecks won't start winning till july and Boonen will beat Cancellara

Saxo is 'the Bert show' to a greater extent than BMC are 'the Evans show'. IMO.

Yes, but Bert can actually cross the line first.

(just trolling on ACF)

Time to start up a Belgian maffiosi to rival the Dutchies me thinks. I can also pretend I'm Spanish if things are getting too hot.

It's down to whether Canc wins RVV or Roubaix, and if that comes before a stage of País Vasco, unless Euskaltel win the GP Big Mig, in which case Leopard.

But what do BMC win then?

This poll isnt fair. Everyone is voting BMC just to wind up ACF..

You may as well start a poll entitled "do you want to wind up ACF" yes or no?

To clarify, i think it will be BMC, i hope its Layopard

Leopard-SHt is not going to win anything till July... Bennati will always make 2nd haha

Nah, I want to wind up ACF, but still voted for Leopard.

Do we not think that Christian's LEOPARD TREK® fandom is an adequate winding-up substitute for ACF's BMC fandom if we wanted to be a bit more honest? I find his insistence on typing LEOPARD TREK® like Trek told him to and defence of Schleck's laziness regarding actually challenging for races to have the same endearing nature.

I see BMC winning something like Dwars door Vlaanderen if they do it. Which would be funny since it's the race they were kicked out for not fielding a good enough team at last year.

Have ag2r already won something?

Anthony Ravard won etolie de besseges but he didnt win a stage so they havent had the salute moment yet.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

voted bmc because they have only one who wins races...cadel

and under normal circumstances he never weins a race either. just last year he peaked

 

[Ferminal]

I went for LEOPARD.

Cuddles should win something in the next two weeks.

Going to try to look at the calendar and answer this one honestly instead of picking the team I dislike the most (or fans I am trying to rile).

Leopard - Cancellara. A classic, a semi-classic or TT, he will win something eventually and I don't think it will be too long. Bennati has also been close all season. Probably won't be team-leopard-trek.

Astana - A possibility; they seem to have started rather slowly but Vino is so aggressive I don't see him going too long without a victory. And Lorezetto, Gaspa, Iglinskiy, and Kreuziger give them more chances to win something.

BMC - Tough to say. You can never count out Cadel, but he isn't racing as much this Spring. I don't think it'll be Roubaix or RVV, but they should pick up a smaller classic somewhere along the way.

Euskaltel - They just don't have a lot of different guys who win races on their team and only one who does with any regularity is Sanchez. Koldo being out definitely hurts them.

SaxoBank - Again only one consistent winner, but one you can absolutely count on to win something in most races he enters. Porte in a TT and Haedos in a weak sprint field are secondary options.

This isn't the way I want it to turn out but I'm going to have to go with EE in a close one.

 

[Jancouver]

Voted Astana. I dont think Vino or Kreuziger can win much anytime soon and the rest of the team are just domestiques.

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

BMC can probably get a win if hincapie is still racing in Greenville next weekend

 

[Hoop Dogg]

Have radioshack already won something?

 

[jaylew]

They've got 3 wins, by Hunter, Irizar, and Hermans.

If you wait a little... You will see Enrico winning in Tirreno - Adriatico or in the AGR... OMG He's so cute

BMC - Tough to say. You can never count out Cadel, but he isn't racing as much this Spring. I don't think it'll be Roubaix or RVV, but they should pick up a smaller classic somewhere along the way.

Ballan should be pulling something in short time... he was pretty close in Sardegna...

Voted Astana. I dont think Vino or Kreuziger can win much anytime soon and the rest of the team are just domestiques.

Kiserlovski is more like a protected rider... He's not a domestique totally... just for the GT tho... He should be winning something soon...

Euskaltel has the lowest number of votes... out of curiousity, what do you people see them winning in the near future? Their best bet in the upcoming races would be a stage in Pais Vasco but that's still a little ways off. Seems to me they'll be last. They just lack the finish to win most races.
