Thanks for the Qatar wildcard as well, even though we don't really have a team for it the Sheikh will be happy to see us race in his home country. Shame to miss out on another race but that's completely understandable.

2 monuments and 3 classics, can't complain 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

WCC delighted to receive invites to ToNE and Paris-Nice. Assuming a significant re-work not required to our C1/C2 race applications, P-N has no calendar clashes for our team, and any clash that may occur with ToNE is not really relevant in terms of terrain, so will be able to field our strongest possible 8-man squad in both cases. Seriously doubt we trouble the overall podium in either case, but a run at a lower top 10 and causing havoc on some key stages definitely within the bounds of possibility!
Having failed to get a GT (and Giro in particular top choice), does mean that we are going to have a long stretch of no racing in April, having cleard the calendar to avoid potential clashes. Looks like we'll just have to get a training camp organised for that window for the lads instead!

Thank you so much! Very honored to get two monuments and two more classics! Riding Ronde and Roubaix is a dream come true for my team and as a manager! I hope we show well, although hopefully not better than we do in PCT races, like last year in East Midlands. 
Only race where we can't send our full cobbles squad is Strada, which is why it was so down in our priority list. But since De Panne already clashes with Roma Maxima, that guarantees we'll at least be able to field whatever of our cobbles team goes there at Strada!
Very excited and honored to be granted this opportunity!

Oh amazing! Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing how Baugnies et al stack up against the big guns (Not too well, I’m sure)
Really looking forward to Paris Roubaix as well, such an epic race

Very happy to get a wildcard to the Giro. We think our team could challenge for a decent placing GC wise, and hopefully more as well.

I see Durbridge will get to ride his usual PT main races again! While it's somehow cool, I already see it coming: after finishing 18th and 16th at the chrono des herbiers in the last two seasons for us, he will Top-10 the thing as a wildcard entry next season
Nice to see you at the Malmo TTT as well. Don't know your final roster, but cycleYorkshire should be a dangerous wildcard entry. Unfortunately, I fear Bennelong won't add another TTT title to our list anyway, but still a race, that I will have some high hopes to score. So you could try to underperform, please

The one race that was supposed to be easier in 2018...
Should be some nice trains there. |

Shame our late transfers drama meant we could only do classics, but very happy with 4, and all on different terrains. Can't wait to ride some PT races, thanks a lot for the opportunity!

Think I can field my strongest possible TTT roster for that race, given that theres no race clashes with it so I'm looking forward to seeing how well I can do... Wont come close to winning I'd think but we'll see. A little gutted I missed out on the biggest home race out there with the East Midlands Classic but since I could only really offer Fenn there, its not too much of a big deal!
