Sent a big squad here based on last year's results, let's see if it was a complete waste of Rads or can get a big result here

Thank you for the nice preview. Breakaway team here, unless Milan surprises in the sprint(s) again.

We brought the best possible TTT setup + Giannoutsos. Let’s hope it become useful. Looks like the other competitors for the TTT did the same.

Our main priority here is the 3 first stages with Dainese. Hope for at least 1 stage win and a day or two in yellow. Other than that, hope to see AHJ in the break on one of the mountain stages.

Tao is our GC leader here and i think he should be in the top 10 fight. The rest of the team id mainly here to support him but i also would like to see some break action from them
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Let's see what Dombrowski has still left in his tank. He is getting the big mountain support here which is also due to the TTT. Kämna as co leader hopefully also performing well GC wise for additional points.
Surely the weaker of the two stages races but ideally a solid scoring to finish the double stage race header in the top range area of the division. |

Need to see some promise from Haig here or it could be a long season. Here's hoping!

Had a feeling this would be an extremely competitive startlist and didn't want to waste any of Skjelmose's race days on it when we don't have a TTT squad to back him up. Actually kind of regret it though, as it's really not as bad as I thought it would be as one of the few PT stage races this year and part of the triple clash. We also didn't bring anything for the sprints except Forssell. So mostly just seeing how Olivier does on his own and hoping for some breakaway action and minor placings.
Thanks for the preview!

Very interesting race profile due to the TTT at the end! We come with no GC expectations, and I fear Carboni will be passive due to the big time loss (TTT) coming late in the race. Fingers crossed he is allowed to be up the road and chase KoM points, but I suspect he might be rated a bit too strong for that to happen by the AI. |

Brought the A squad to see how much damage we can do here. Looking forward to it!

Really looking forward to what Zwift can do from the PCT. Otherwise, trying to figure out exactly how the race will unfold and how leadership will be determined is a big challenge. Surprised to see Dunbar here and worried the Indosat TTT will leave Morton behind.
Think McNulty might be a potential victor here if he can hold Kudus within eyesight on the mountain stages.

Good morale for Kooij after Qatar and he'll hopefully deliver his first win here.

Aiming for stage success moreso than GC succes since we're not running the full TTT unit with Wirtgen and Milan being left at home. Exciting to see whether Grosu will be off to a good start for us!
Thanks for the preview!

We're hoping for some GC and/or breakaway miracle from Vauqelin here, but it's not a good sign if a somewhat decent TTT setup might actually be our best shot at a stage top 10...
Thanks for the previews here and for T-A, Laurens!
