Original idea from Croatia14
I am opening this thread so people who haven't got much time, inspiration or motivation to build a prediction with some good graphics and information of each time can do it here.
Feel free to bomb this with predictions and opinions

Another very difficult prediction, specially because there are 30 teams here and some of them have a very similar potential. Hope it's at least nice:
| 1 | Porto – Prio | | 2 | Meiji – JR East | | 3 | Wiesenhof – Andritz | | 4 | Karcher – Adira | | 5 | Banc na hÉireann | | 6 | Shimano – Siam Cement Team | | 7 | Team UBS | | 8 | Indosat – ANZ | | 9 | Team Telkom for Africa | | 10 | Eritel – Sonatrach | | 11 | Arrinera | | 12 | Novatek-Panarmenian.net | | 13 | Ayubowan! | | 14 | Coldeportes | | 15 | Vontobel | | 16 | VisitUkraine p/b Nemiroff | | 17 | Aeropostal Venezuela | | 18 | Spotify – Haglöfs | | 19 | Compal-Merida | | 20 | Flores – Ceitec | | 21 | In-n-Out p/b Carrefour | | 22 | Hugo Boss | | 23 | SanCor | | 24 | Valio – DeLaval | | 25 | Netia – Norske Skog | | 26 | Generali – AXA | | 27 | Azteca – NBCSN | | 28 | Lierse SK – Pizza Ullo | | 29 | Euskaltel | | 30 | Strava |

Have to say that I don't agree with a few of the predictions above. I certainly don't think my team will finish 29th.
But it's nice to see you have put in the time, especially as a new team to the game!

As I said, I even struggled to make CT prediction, so PCT and PT were very tough for me, so mistakes are likely to happen

Great (steal of) idea, but I have to say your prediction is way off. My team will never finish that high. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that we can finish 6th, but I appreciate your effort and belief in Shimano. Honestly, I'll be happy if we end up in the top 20.  |

That didn't start off well for my team, but everyone thinking this prediction is crap is certainly encouraging
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I hope you are right with 19th, but I fear relegation  |

I haven`t done a preview this year.
But just from a quick look I`d say a team with Gilbert!, Vanendert, Roux, Baugnies, Modolo, Van der Sande and in especially a brilliant depth in hills and cobbles will finish a lot higher.
Actually I have you more a top10-15 team depending on planning. Gazelle has proven to even fight for the division with a depth team without climbers.
What Mars I think ignored a lot in his prediction, is the possibility to avoid 1 terrain in PCT/CT. Hence you don`t need a single climber and can still finish in promotion spots.
Similar cases as with Strava I think Spotify or Generali will finish higher. |

I guess that's a problem of being a rookie 
Anyway, I said this was going to be most likely wrong so please forgive me

Don`t see this as big critic. I appreciate your work on this prediction.
Was just making a "short" prediction myself rating the mentioned 3 teams a lot higher. |

Yes yes, obviously. It's constructive, not destructive. I even thought it was gonna be bad, I just had some hopes on it being okay

You could be spot on as well, only time can tell

I really appreciate your hopeless overrating of my team, such a shame we won't finish anywhere near 5th - top 10 would be amazing already.

Top 10 would be a huge achievement for us, I really hope your prediction is accurate with regard to Generali!

I like tastasol's prediction for us - 7th is higher than I was expecting, so I'll more than happily take it. 13th is a little lower, but wouldn't be too bad overall, but I do honestly believe 9th or 10th is where we ought to be. Here's what I came up with:
| 1 | Wiesenhof | | 2 | Porto | | 3 | Meiji | | 4 | Telkom | | 5 | Coldeportes | | 6 | UBS | | 7 | Spotify | | 8 | Karcher | | 9 | Ayubowan | | 10 | Strava | | 11 | Indosat | | 12 | Eritel | | 13 | Generali | | 14 | Arrinera | | 15 | Banc na hEireann | | 16 | In-n-Out | | 17 | Hugo Boss | | 18 | Shimano | | 19 | Valio | | 20 | Novatek | | 21 | VisitUkraine | | 22 | Flores | | 23 | Aeropostal | | 24 | Euskaltel | | 25 | Vontobel | | 26 | Netia | | 27 | Azteca | | 28 | Compal | | 29 | Lierse | | 30 | Sancor |

Funny to see HugoBoss 22nd, 3rd and 17th in various predictions. That is some spree.
More teams are like that, +- 10 places, should be interesting to rate after the season.

We've been predicted 25th, 21st and 26th, probably one of the most consistent there. I feel like our puncheurs depth and LLS's back-ups have been a tad underrated and we'll be around that 21-22 spot but maybe I'm wrong and we'll be dangling off the edge, hopefully just surviving relegation.

You broke Flores streak... They had been predicted only 20th until you came, so bad
