The HC category will be for PCT only more or less (except for some brave CT managers that want to fill some spots).
The managers might like the fact that all 26 PCT teams got their top 3 priority bands!
Band 1 sees the smallest startlists of the HC category with 16 teams only. Obviously the stage races with lots of climbing and puncheur hills was not wanted by many even though the Dutch Food Valley Classic offers something for the sprinters.
Band 2 with 20/24 teams already the 2nd smallest, which is nice to see. With 5 classics some nice chances for the one day specialists as also some PT known races such as Colombia.
Band 3 and Band 4 both with 21 teams. As seen in band 1, the managers seem to favour the flatter stage races as Denmark in 3 and Barbados in 4 suggest.

Surprised to see so little interest in band 1. Would love to know hat went through the minds of the managers. |

I never seem to pick the less picked in these things, year after year. Regardless, I'm happy we'll be able to race in Denmark a couple of times this season. As I still have little idea what my team will look like, I'll adjust to the races more than the other way around.

Especially perfect for Eritel, with Band 1 being my top choice

Looks like getting a wildcard to Vancouver is basically impossible.

Yeah, it must be so hard getting a wildcard there having only 8 spaces left

Pretty much the opposite. 8 spaces, so if you want a wildcard there then you are all but guaranteed to get it.

With few teams picking Tour of Vancouver, this opens the gates for wildcard chance
