Excited to see Langlois in action here in the first month. Hoping for big things from him. Won't be a super exciting month for us otherwise, but I'm excited to start racing!

Great chance for Kittel to win his 5th Palm Classic and get the our PT experience off to a winning start.
The U23 teams makes its debut, not anticipating we will do anything that anyone will notice.
Looking forward to the season.

Excited for the new season, let's go!!
Degenkolb and Yates both start off their campaigns at Palm and Toowoomba respectively. We have high hopes every time they ride. The U23s start off in Indonesia and Brazil. High hopes for Dimas in the latter. Let's see if we can get some guys into the break in the former.
Looking ahead to the first reports.

Looking forward to races to start. Don't expect much from Ewan in Palm especially since in other races I expect nothing since neither of other big names except Ulissi even start there. And Diego kinda sucks in WT, lol
I can hope Ewan finishes higher than 10th. |

Having two extra focus races to choose this season caused some head scratching in the Suntory camp. We decided to back Pedersen at La Tropicale Amissa Bongo. Hope this proves to be a wise decision.
U23 sprinting is stacked this season, could be any result from 1st to 10th.

Holy smokes, that's early. Let's not blow whole season in 2 months, lol
Again, no real expectations as my team only participate in Pais Vasco. Ulissi hasn't really proved himself yet so hard to predict will he this time. |

Well, that was fast!
I don't see much happening in Pais Vasco, so let's cheer for the U23 team!

Wow, preview up early. Very quiet month for us, just one race each for main and dev team. With the TT in Pais Vasco I hope Majka can make the top 5 again, though the competition seems tougher this year.

Will there actually be some scouting before the start of February? Don't actually know if I missed something...
Anyway, racing really kicks of for us in month 2, where we bring our "second outfit" to Oman. Mendes and Gomez just don't make the preview list because they're one point too low on the hills, so let's see what they can do. Gonzalez will get his chance in the sprints.
Expectations are much higher in San Luis, though, as this obviously is our first focus race - and our only true home race this year. Unfortunately, we don't have any great puncheur, but we hope that Zabel could compete in quite a few stages there. And we bring some pretty decent time trialists, so let's see if that's worth a good final GC place.
Ollero will then have his debut race for the junior squad in Bishkek, but as he prefers the longer ascents, we don't expect much from him there. Maybe rather from our two sprinters.
I'm really glad that the season seems to move on quickly, can't actually wait to finally see the main team in action

Holy, this pace is insane. 
First race of the season for Villella in Pais Vasco, the goal has to be a podium in GC and a few nice stage results. Our season mostly depends on how much he'll be able to improve from last year with +2 in HI.

No! I may have phrased it that way somewhere, the scouting intervals (10 "rounds" ) match calendar months, but we usually start much later and fire the rounds off quickly.

To be fair, the previews are the most annoying thing to do that's why they are usually up rather late I think. By putting them up early the efforts pay off because people can discuss it more.
Bananito in Pais Vasco, let's hope dominox PCM treats him well! The list of winners in that race is very sad from spanish perspective. Will have to dope up Pulido to make it back-to-back.

February will be a light month for us. Seeing how Bennett goes in Mallorca will be our main point of interest.

Looks like Mannion will have to try and keep up the early success mostly on his own shoulders in February, but he should be up for it.
Serry might be even busier than Kern is for us so far this season. Could see him leading the rankings for the CT division early on, if he keeps it up as well.

Now we get down to business with a busier month in February and our first focus race of the year.
Again Lander finds himself on the top starters list and again he must face a TT stage. Not as worrisome as the first time, but still. Maybe he could get us some nice result in Algarve thought.
Our first focus race in San Luis is stacked. Still, I am looking forward to it and the intensity will be welcomed. |
