Hoping for some good results with Ndbri and Ghafari but I think we will be limited to top 10's
Good luck everyone, this looks sure to be an exciting race  |

Having Yoann Paillot here. Will be interesting to see if he can get a few moments on the attack.

I expected a strong field, but I couldn't even imagine this sort of startlist!
My Dyachenko / Osella duo will probably find it hard just to reach the top 10. I've got my fingers crossed that it'll work out somehow, and that one of them might go for a stage win instead.
The overall is Marquez vs. Suaza I think.

Just so people know I'll be doing a live tweet of the first stage on my team's twitter profile in about 3 hours (about 11am CET).

Can't join it today, but will try to do so over the weekend. Hopefully the team protects Marquez well today

Win by Bintang in a sprint... Not good for other teams that, I would prefer if they were kept to a minimum of points outside the mountains they will own us all in :-p

Good start by the team, and it's awesome to see that my sprint-train actually did quite well even though Kip couldn't win.

Woops, I missed this thread to start with. This is my home race so I am expecting a top 5. I need my team to make sure that they choose one leader and stick to them. Due to the hills I agree that Ardila will probably end up as my main leader, but who knows. Good to see Acevedo getting into the break on day one, nice to start the season off with some exposure.
Good luck to all.

Really happy Thire did a good job, looked promising even though it wasn't completely rewarded in the end.

Good job by HTC. Goos and Barbin with decent results and kept Marquez safely throughout. First stage job done
Very nice report Count

Vesely 
He will be a great sprinter in 2 seasons.  Unfortunately not in my team.
And Hollister slowly has to worry. |

yewwwwww! didn't expect that start to the season.
I just hope we don't waste too much energy defending that jersey for De Fauw in the early stages. But at the same time it's not a bad dilemma to have.
