Kulppi will get many more chances to help Boonen throughout the season

Rowe is here, this will be the first indication of how his season will go so I hope he can deliver a top 10 here

This is the worst race to have any expectations for (and luckily we don't have a goal set for this race anymore), so I'm just looking forward to see the season finally starting in general and we'll go from there.

That's pretty damn cautious from the team with the top favourite.

I've learnt my lesson, and especially in a race won by two 80 SP riders the last two seasons...

All I conclude from opening races of the season is that PCT teams are complete pussies. A 75km flat crit pttthhh.
BooBastard takes a dominating win - as a gale blows in through the surpisingly cobbled streets of Adelaide.
cio rages as Puma make epic sprint train fail (i.e they don't bother forming one!)

Excited to see the start of the season! Don't expect too much from my team in this one, would like to see us just compete in the sprint and perhaps have a rider in the breakaway.

I still wish him off to a good start so he gets on the right foot with Boonen. He could really do with learning as many of Tommekes tricks as possible

A short sprint classic so this is near impossible to predict. AMEX-Navigon is fielding the best sprint team we have ever fielded. The PCT has some of the best sprinter so the start list is impressive. I am really looking forward to see where our sprinters stack up. We will need solid points in the flat classics to have a good season.
Hoping our two cobblers can put us in a good position to get a sprint train setup.

As usual with these kinds of races, I just hope that my sprinter gets involved in the sprint - hopefully Van Heerden can manage that. From there, anything can happen.

Unsurprisingly strong start list here. I hope that Keukeleire can compete for something in the top ten as that would give me a lot of hope for the season ahead.
January will hopefully be my team's weakest month between this race and Tachira.

can't see anyone beating Ciolek with the sprint train he has at his disposal, maybe Cav will be able to hold on to him and pass him toward the end, but i doubt it |

I will be very interested to see what happened here, as it could tell a thing or two about the chances of Couqard later on.
A strong lineup Where the PT teams are more or less cannonfodder, although Vesuvio could get some points here.

I'd briefly forgotten that PT teams were infiltrating PCT races which explains some six man teams ... good though to at least fill these races up a bit more despite a few six mans (also very good to have this as the absolute lowest restriction). Hardly surprising though that PT teams may well do this I went with a six man squad to GP Moscow in a three race clash (Volta a Portugal clashes with Gp Moscow and Duestchland I think) which was probably a tactical error on my part.
Van der Lijke managed a win in last years Tour de France in a flat stage one wonders here if he can be wildcard point stealer again

Can't say I didn't expect that. Great to see Evonik take a win though
