I do quite agree with what you say about my team, hopefully the depth in the climbs will take us over the line in terms of relegation. Good effort here Froome.

7TH? You're insane 
Top 15 is enough for me.
Amazing preview here btw, was a delight to read it through.

To be fair Jesleyh your team is one which is hard to rate.  I look at TomTom and I can't see too much difference to how Allianz looked last season and they only narrowly avoided relegation, still a top 15 should be the min for you.
The pressure is on Prio-Porto then! The question with them is will Machado go to the Vuelta a Portugal?
I don't really like the idea of a team relegating from PT (or PCT for that matter), make virtually no squad changes, and promote with ease via the top spot (in any division). I wish the idea of relegation clauses occurred to me before today! I will probably lobby for them over the season.
Anyhow .... awesome previews Froomedog, really has got me stoked for the season start. |

Nice preview. Very well written. Would definitely have predicted us higher but then again when has a prediction ever been 100 % correct.

Nice, I gladly take 10th at the end of the season! 
But don´t really have so high thoughs about the team myself but as said I will not complain if you´re right!
Nice work all of you who have done previews always fun to read! |

Hmm, hadn't noticed the similarities with Allianz, thanks, The Rider
Although I think my leaders are a bit better.

I think they are a lot stronger than Allianz.
Maes = Maes
VdHH > Roy
Vantomme > Richeze/Castaneda
And then Kangert for Allianz and Van Winden for TomTom as other leaders. Considering Kangert didn't do amazingly last year, and Roy and their sprinters should be outscored by quite a way by Hugenhaben and Vantomme, I think TomTom are much stronger
Thanks for all the comments! |

I assume that this is partially aimed at me. I constructed my team with the specific thought that if I relegated I would only have to ditch one leader and still have a promotion quality team. This was a part of my long term planning and a specific tactical choice. I should not be punished for that.
Thanks FroomeDog

Happy to see that for you we are nearly in the top 10. With just a little bit of luck we will be able to get one of our objectives.
thanks for the preview FD!

Thanks for the preview, was a good read through and through. Would be perfectly fine with me if your predictions will be proved right.
