A new season beckons, which means I wheel out my gift of prophecy and air my views on the Man-Game world. My predictions aren't likely to be right, but they're just a bit of fun.
As a word of warning, I'm just posting rankings here for now. On Twitter https://twitter.com/LaVieClaireMG I have been doing short previews, feel free to check them out. If I have time I'll build up on them here, but in the meantime feel free to interrogate, laugh, cry, whatever takes your fancy. CT will be up asap, PCT in the morning I hope and PT tomorrow night/Monday, with live countdown on Twitter. Hope you enjoy!  |

Did this before they released their calendar. Bole, Dall'Antonia and Martinez should all score well at CT level and Kiserlovski and Kasa are very useful riders, but their C1 incursions will harm them. |

Yeah, 5th is exactly where I would rank Bonsucro.
- Funny to see the fluctuations between where people rank teams in the different previews. The biggest difference I have seen so far is Azteca [9 places different] (ranked 4th in one set of rankings I believe and ranked 13th here)! |

Nordeus is ranked as 2nd here and I am pretty sure i was ranked as 18th twice before, so that's biggest difference.
I think we made mistake by selecting too much C1 races, but at the end, I do have like 9 of them and other teams are usually on number of 5-7, which isn't big difference. I think i'll finish around 13th-14th place, at the end. But I do have great base to build my team on next year, so be afraid CT managers, be afraid.

Not the only one looking forward to next season already - if all goes to plan should have a considerable amount of money to splash around with the team arguably stronger than this season, before that money is even spent

Got to say. 11th is more appreciated from 17 (Smowz) and 18 (knockout).
This CT season will be incredibly unpredictable which should make it very exciting.

I think everyone has ranked me pretty much in the same range so far.
baseballlover312, 06-03-14 : "Nuke Moscow...Don't worry Russia, we've got plenty of love to go around your cities"
Sarah Palin, 08-03-14 (CPAC, on Russian aggression) : "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke"
Big thanks to jdog for making this AMAZING userbar! |

I like where you've put us, just above where I think we'll be. But I don't agree with La Vie 6th  |

I enjoy that I'm being tipped as a possible darkhorse for promotion in one thread and then being picked to finish 24th in another - I tend to think the truth is somewhere in the middle - and unless I get some massive luck its likely to be a middle of the pack finish for me.
The more predictions, the merrier! Enjoyed these.
