After a somewhat successful try with this last year, I thought i'd bring it back again, and what better time to do it than during the Tour 
The rules are:
Eden95 wrote:
Every so-often i'll post the name of an off-contract cyclist (contract expiring at the end of the year) and what you have to do is post what team you think they'll sign for. At the end, i'll give you the results of which team this forum (Or atleast the people who participate in this) thinks the rider will sign for as a 'prediction', and see if that rider actually signs for that team.
This year there will be the added addition of points, a correct prediction will equal 10 points, wheras an incorrect prediction will be -1. It may take time for the point competition to kick in though as it still may be a while before riders begin to reveal where they will be going/staying for next year. If there is any confusion feel free to ask
And also, once riders start announcing contracts etc. I will post them here (Obviously with result as well) but, due to certain restrictions I might not find out where some riders have signed, so also feel free to post that also
Answers are basically just this: "Rider A --> Team B"and so on, but feel free to discuss why you think they'll go to that team and so on
Last year's thread:
https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....ost_433100
The first riders of 2012-13 is:
Jakob Fuglsang (RNT)
Lars Petter Nordhaug (SKY)
(Because there's only 1-2 teams after Fuglsang, I put Nordhaug in as well)

isn't Fuglsang confirmed to Saxo?
Nordhaug to Saxo
difficult to tell, could be pro-conti, could be somewhere different like OPQS or BMC
i went with Saxo because of the Scandanavian link

I like this thread. 
Fuglsang: Saxo Bank - Tinkoff Bank
Lars Petter Nordhaug: Hmmm, Just for a change I'll say Rabo or BMC instead of Sky. He cna get a bigger role. Let's just hope he doesn't go all Froome on us and win the Vuelta.

And also, if for example you say '...' will sign for 'Team A' or 'Team B' I'll only take 'Team A' into consideration for the points classification, if you care about it (you don't really have to, of course ) make sure which team you choose specifically.
And samdiatmh, that's why I did Nordhaug as well

Oh, my fault. Didn't read correctly into rules. Only now noticed that you have to predict certain riders.
