The first team in our preview is Amaysim Cervélo. The Aussie team will mainly be hoping to make the breakaway.
As they don't have any sprinter in their squad for this race.
| | | | | | | |  Assa Abloy | PCT |
| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | RS | SP | AC | | Coutinho | Lionel | POR | 30 | 72 | 74 | 79 | 80 | | Gebremedhin | Awet | SWD | 30 | 69 | 74 | 55 | 75 | | Veyhe | Torkil | FAR | 28 | 80 | 71 | 56 | 78 | | Magnusson | Kim | SWD | 30 | 74 | 69 | 65 | 73 | | Kvist | Linus | SWD | 23 | 67 | 69 | 67 | 71 | | Arvidsson | Staffan | SWD | 32 | 70 | 74 | 63 | 70 | | Magnussen | Davur | FAR | 30 | 71 | 70 | 67 | 70 | | Bergstrom Frisk | Erik | SWD | 23 | 66 | 67 | 60 | 61 |

Just like Coutinho, Kennett showed some early form as he was third in stage 2 in Portugal, behind Trondsen and Kemboi.
The question will be if the sprinter can rely on his teammates to bring him in a good position to the sprints.
| | | | | | | | | Bralirwa - Stevens | PCT |
| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | RS | SP | AC | | Silvestre | Fabio | POR | 32 | 78 | 71 | 80 | 81 | | Tesfatsion | Natnael | ERI | 23 | 66 | 70 | 68 | 74 | | Mugisha | Moise | RWA | 25 | 67 | 73 | 63 | 71 | | Mugisha | Samuel | RWA | 25 | 74 | 72 | 62 | 68 | | Mengoulas | Alex | GRE | 25 | 70 | 68 | 65 | 73 | | Debesay | Yacob | ERI | 23 | 64 | 67 | 62 | 69 |

Asbjorn Kragh Andersen is another great sprinter in this loaded lineup.
The Danish guy ended on the podium in the Down Under Classic and was 4th in two stages of the Tour Down Under.
| | | | | | | |  Cedevita | PCT |
| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | RS | SP | AC | | McCormick | Hayden | NZL | 28 | 70 | 71 | 73 | 73 | | Katrasnik | Gasper | SLO | 27 | 81 | 76 | 63 | 72 | | Poljanec | Miha | SLO | 27 | 77 | 68 | 71 | 71 | | Siric | Ivan | BIH | 24 | 76 | 78 | 75 | 71 | | Zariff | Nur Aiman | MAS | 25 | 68 | 65 | 78 | 78 | | Wright | Fred | GBR | 23 | 68 | 70 | 69 | 69 | | Duyvesteyn | Kees | NZL | 24 | 67 | 68 | 63 | 70 |
Cedevita will be counting on Nur Aiman Zariff from Malaysia in the bunch sprints. Zariff was sprinting last year for Tryg-Ritter Sport.
At first glance it will be hard for him and this team to score major points here in Mexico.
| | | | | | | |  Crabbe-CC Chevigny | PCT |
| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | RS | SP | AC | | Reinhardt | Theo | GER | 32 | 71 | 66 | 79 | 84 | | Liepins | Emils | LAT | 30 | 73 | 68 | 78 | 79 | | Drizners | Jarrad | AUS | 23 | 69 | 71 | 70 | 73 | | Blouwe | Louis | BEL | 23 | 69 | 70 | 67 | 70 | | Donovan | Mark | GBR | 23 | 71 | 73 | 63 | 69 | | Kielich | Timo | BEL | 23 | 68 | 71 | 68 | 72 | | Bonneu | Kamiel | BEL | 23 | 68 | 70 | 60 | 66 | | Pluto | Martins | LAT | 24 | 67 | 67 | 69 | 67 |
Belgian team Crabbe-CC Chevigny is counting on German Theo Reinhardt, who will make his debut for his new team in Mexico.

| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | RS | SP | AC | | Enger | Sondre Holst | NOR | 29 | 73 | 73 | 81 | 78 | | Pedersen | Casper | DEN | 26 | 76 | 76 | 77 | 77 | | Rojus | Adomaitis | LTU | 24 | 73 | 72 | 77 | 76 | | Kurianov | Stepan | RUS | 26 | 79 | 74 | 75 | 70 | | Hvideberg | Jonas Iversby | NOR | 23 | 74 | 71 | 61 | 64 | | Christakos | Dimitrios | GRE | 23 | 68 | 71 | 61 | 67 | | Ulysbayev | Dinmukhammed | KAZ | 24 | 68 | 68 | 62 | 64 | | Lunder | Eirik | NOR | 23 | 70 | 66 | 70 | 75 |
After Crabbe we find another promoted team in Gjensidige. They have added local sprinter Sondre Holst Enger to their squad.

Howard can rely on his experienced teammates like Suryadi and Gani to bring him to the finish line.
| | | | | | | | | Kraftwerk Man Machine | PCT |
| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | RS | SP | AC | | Zabel | Rick | GER | 29 | 74 | 70 | 81 | 79 | | Bilbao | Pello | ESP | 32 | 71 | 71 | 71 | 75 | | De Buyst | Jasper | BEL | 29 | 73 | 75 | 76 | 76 | | Zhupa | Eugert | ALB | 32 | 75 | 74 | 74 | 68 | | Dieteren | Jan | GER | 29 | 67 | 70 | 63 | 66 | | Walsleben | Max | GER | 32 | 72 | 68 | 68 | 70 | | Mathis | Marco | GER | 28 | 69 | 72 | 68 | 70 | | Vernon | Ethan | GBR | 22 | 68 | 71 | 71 | 68 |

Riccardo Minali is the main card for Philips - Force India. The Italian finished 5th in the last stage of Tour Down Under.

Nacer Bouhanni looks to be the main sprinter. Although the manager will surely hope to do better than Down Under, where 13th was his best result.
They can also rely on Thanawut Sankiwathi and Sonny Colbrelli to guide Bouhanni in the right direction.
| | | | | | | | | Team Popo4Ever p/b Morshynska | PCT |

Yeah, just here to fill the startlist. Probably one of the worst races for us this year. Didn't expect us in the preview, so thanks for listing all teams

This is the real test for Bonifazio and our promotion chances. Nice preview!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I really have high hopes for Saber here. The field is stacked for sure, maybe even higher than it was in DUC. But I have faith in our star. A GC win might be too much to ask of him but with Olei and Dzervus I hope they deliver him to the line perfectly. A stage win would be really nice but we will see how it folds out. Crossing my fingers Saber isn’t the 4th sprinter which would end up in disappointment. Anyhow, a good result here is needed to keep the good position in the rankings as the normal stage races aren’t going to be big scoring races for us. Thank you for the preview. It would be magical if Quispe pulled off a breakaway win here in his return to Mexico but thats just an added bonus. Lets go Gucci Gang!

Well this is the first chance to see if Jakobsen will be able to repeat last seasons heroics or if we’re in for a long season in the sprints.
4th here last year so the hope is a Top 5 or better! Better support for him this season too.
Thank you for the in-depth preview and good luck to all

AKA doesn't get a ton of GC opportunities, but he has one here. He has a couple of good flat guys to protect him, but no leadout men on the 6 man team. Just how I like it. Now hopefully the game doesn't view him as the 4th best sprinter at any time.
Field is stacked as always in these kinds of races. Ahlstrand's the favorite, but we'll see how that correlates to results. For us, the goal is mostly a high GC result, however that happens. Sprint every day and see what happens.
Thanks for the detailed preview!

This will show whether training Halvorsen was good move or rider ruining

TDU was about the worst race we’ve done, so Howard can only improve (hopefully?) here. Did decently well in the two stages he competed in here last season and finished 3rd, would take a result like that again in a heartbeat. He’s not one of the top-top favourites anymore, so will be interesting to see how the game treats him.
Thanks for the preview!

First showing of our Ahlstrand, so I have high hopes here We're definitely going for the win, especially since it is one of our goals for the season, a hefty one with the sponsors wanting a victory here to show ourselves within the region, but an achievable one if all goes to plan. Of course, it remains to be seen if we can manage that.
Good luck to all and thank you very much for the preview!

Will need luck for Minali to be involved near the front consistently. He only showed up for one of the TDU stages. Hoping that improves here.
Thanks for the preview And you are right, none of these riders did ride for us last season!

I have a couple of greek loan outs here so will be following to see if they make a move. Not likely though. I guess this one is Ahlstrand's to lose.

Reinhardt finishing 117th isn’t encouraging to begin with 
Congrats quadsas with the win!

Anonymously cruising to 4th, I love it!

Quite disappointing to say the least. Saber jumps on the Red Bull train as he always does. But seems to get surprised by the sprint getting started. Hopefully this result puts his feet on the ground again and he gets his head right. Congrats to Zalgiris and thanks for the report.

Looks like we’re going to start the race a stage late again like last season. Thanks Leigh.
Thanks for the report.

Ack. AKA had a great wheel and just jumped the gun way too early. His fading was very predictable once I saw that. At least he managed to snag a single bonus second.
