I think your assessment is correct, but I'm hoping for a top 5 in ToA, as we really need some points.
The competition in the Balkans and P-T is probably fierce, but with a bit of luck anything can happen.

Better early than late - or however that saying goes. Either way, onwards to our presentations for June.

Choi, Kulindwa, and Schomber stay in America after the ongoing ToA. It's too early to judge the performance of Choi and Kulindwa, but Schomber will be looking to redeem himself in the prologue.
Choi obviously our GC contender, as S6 is too tough for Bissegger. We got Sureda for the sprints, who might receive a leadout from Meurisse, Smit, and/or Holzer.

2nd goal race of the season. Can Carapaz secure a top 10?
Sureda and Sanikwathi are here to contest the sprints, but they will have a hard time, even if they work together. Rest of the guys are mainly here to support Carapaz.

Big month for Choi, though we don't expect too much in a PTHC race. Bissegger probably just as good as Schomber in the prologue - or even better.
Sureda, Sanikwathi, and Bittner here for sprints. Sureda should be able to make it to the finish on S2, which could prove difficult for other sprinters.
Kulindwa and Holzer are just here for the experience and a good time.
