Thanks to all those that keep contributing relevant information. All 'spoilers' in the initial posts should now be up-to-date. Even with this few initial squad reveals, it is clear to see some patterns emerging for each event, and rivalries old and new are set to be (re-)joined.

@DaveTwoBob: No rush, will be just as timally to have your full squad posted when you are ensconsed back at home. I am sure a number of PT managers will be peeved and others overjoyed to receive confimation that Cav will be lining up at Le Tour in terms of potential placings/points being denied to PT participants!

Thanks to all for using the format requested, has made it much simpler to update the various race/award lists. I would like to highlight however, that as Bennelong, Aegon and Volvo have successfully managed, it is necessary to formally nominate a candidate rider for a particular award category(s) if you have such interest. It is not enough to just line-up at the appropriate events, nominations are required. I note a number of interesting candidates are listed in team press releases herein, but not as yet nominated for appropriate award categories. Folks should keep in mind that only the Adam Hansen Award is geared towards a single recipient per season, multiple winners are possible for the other categories, as has already been demonstrated in the inaugural season.

As a final thought, if a rider has spoken with team management and discussed potentially lining up a long-term tilt at the Adam Hansen Award, even if the intent is to challenge in future season by starting a sequence this season, it is worth highlighting this to the media (by nominating now!). This will increase that riders media profile and interest even in this first season of challenging themselves to successfully accumulate continuous GT finishes. It should also be kept in mind that although additional safety features have been introduced by the MGUCI, the dreaded time-cut still awaits those who have a bad day, misfortune with an early puncture or bad weather conditionsm or any combination of the above which can lead to an unwanted DNF. The award is in no way a forgone conclusion until all the races have been successfully completed!

My team has been updated in the HQ, but I don't have access to my PC for a while. I'll update in here once it is possible.

I see the point and in that case, I will nominate him already this year (his hopefully first three consecutive finishes of many):

Various spoiler lists have again been updated.

@ RBC Pro Cycling: Great to see Tyron put his difficulties re: G-N last season behind him and once more step up to the challenge Smile. Re: Phinney and his acolytes, sure to be a top favourite at any GT, but it would help record-keeping if you could confirm which GT this line-up is appearing at (I'm sure you wish all three, but RD limits frustrate us all!)?

@ Festina: No problem. Rather than borrow ('steal' ) from HQ threads, I'd rather respective managers would choose to (or otherwise) post herein. Great to know you intend to when you have approrpiate access.

@ Bennelong: Thanks! Wink.

@ Team Puma: All in for project Herklotz at Espana is clear, good luck. No problem with you with-holding full details for other events, is each managers perogative. Great to see some more Award category nominees though, that is what is most important!

Final note is that I think we are now up to 9/24 full team-lists for the Giro and Veulta and 7/24 for Le TOur, so good progress. In each case we can see the potential for key battles appearing as various terrains specialists join each list Smile.

Happy to post Aker - MOT's Grand Tour teams for 2019. I also nominate Galta for the Lejerreta award, eventhough it seems very unlikely he'll be close to completing it.

From the line ups posted below, it's kind of obvious I've gambled on Ciolek to the Giro. Really hope that proves to be a great decision, as the hope is that he meets sprinters that should be worse on paper. Thus, the leadout riders will also show up in Italy.

It's also the most important GT for us looking at the GC ambitions, or at least it was before all these brilliant stage racers got confirmed for the Giro. Seems like I've only fooled myself there in the planning, as I hoped the Liechtenstein + California clash would see less top GC riders join, but it seems like quite the opposite for this Giro. At least it should be an epic race to follow, eventhough I suspect Guldhammer should have been in the Tour, looking at what has been posted in various HQs Smile

For the Tour de France, I really hope we go stage hunting, as we hopefully got the potential to do so with Vesely, Vakoc and Paillot, eventhough Demare, MVS, probably Kump and van der Lijke also will show up for the early hilly/flattish stages there, that should suit Vakoc well too. Then there's also Paillot's dream of wearing the Maillot Jaune at home in the biggest race there is, but I strongly suspect it will only be a dream Pfft But at least he'll have a go at it.

For the Vuelta, I've got no big ambitions. After last year's brilliant GT racing, I decided Holst Enger was the sprinter that should suffer against superior sprinters, hopefully lowering his wage demand compared to this year Pfft

I feel like my top 10 goal at Giro is going to be very hard to achieve this season...

I´m happy to see a few sprinters not going to TdF may mean Ahlstrand could make some good results there.
 
SotD
Hmm my Tour top 5 is also going down the drain I see... Most likely Lecuisinier will be around 7th in both Giro and Tour, which will look at a quite severe points loss. Might be enough to have me close to relegation...

Spoilers all up to date again, thanks folks!

Great to see more Award nominees stepping forward. Most apparent in the Marino-Lejerreta category where the various alterations to OVR/RD's/crashes is reflected in a host of very capable stage-racers stepping up to take on two GT's this season; we even have a two-time GT winner as a nominee, so the standard is excellent. This is perhaps having an impact on nominations for the Gemiani-Nencini Award, where those riders with the capabilities to complete 3 GT's in a season and be top 20 competitive in at least one are perhaps thinner on the ground in 2018 than in 2017, given the potential up-lift in standard trickling further down the GC field.

The Giro d'Italia is the first races to have confirmed line-ups for more than half of the signed-up rosters. At this stage it is very clear to see that GT's are back in vogue, as the half revealed thus far for Italy is potentially stronger than the entire stage-racing field amassed for the 2017 edition Pfft. The perceived importance of the TTT at the beginning of week 2 in Italy also seems to mean that many teams are committing to bring an elite-level time-trial specialist to support their various leaders overall ambitions.

Perhaps surprisingly (and this is of course relative!), the Tour de France thus far has the 'weaker' looking leader list. Have many contenders been scared off, envisaging that most of the '85' club would focus here? Hard to tell, and with the smallest confirmed roster listing, perhaps not yet a definitive pattern.

As the race line-ups continue to become more concrete, interested in folks thoughts around the various rivalvries, suitability of riders for the respective parcours and the strength of the teams to support their particular GC and sprint leaders ambitions.

So as previously speculated, Nesset will stop his run in the GTs as he's not riding Giro d'Italia. Hence we also don't have any candidates for the prizes, as I can't see Nesset or Stake Laengen do top 10 in two GTs this year.

The Giro d'Italia is a bit of a wild card. Wisniowski going all out on the prologue. No sprinters present and Stake Laengen/Iturria looking for breaks and top 50 in GC.
