Keizer and Uran(both Wiki's on loan)! 
Although Uran will be riding on the Wikipedia squad in this race. Instead of him being the only Domina rider in the race, it made much more sense for Uran to ride on the team who actually owns him instead. Youll also get Matt Booth and Michael van Stayen in this race because of this.
While another of the favourites, Van der Velde of Magenta, rode in the Eneco Tour so will not be in Avenir
There will be a Colombian national team involving Nintendo's Suaza and Gazetta's Castaneda, as well as 3 free agents. This is because there was only 1 other Nintendo rider (not very good) and no other Gazetta rider.

Go Pluchkin, this is your last chance!

Then technically speaking i should get Tomas Riber-Sellebjerg and Troels Vinter who are both out on loan at B&O. Should I not? Or do they stay with B&O because they have a team worth racing with?

The only reason loaned riders went back to their original teams for this race was because there werent any other Under 23 riders in the tam they were loaned to, of if there were, they were either not very good or racing in Portugal or Eneco. I had to do this as a way of thinning down the amount of teams riding the race to 20.

Should be a really interesting, and open race. I think that Abal will win this year's edition. It will be interesting to see over the coming seasons how the top preformers from the different editions of the tour de l'avenir preform in the pro peloton, in particular on the big stage of the pro tour.

I actually didn't think that Abal was in for this race, but now that I do I agree that he is the biggest favourite as he is one point better than Pluchkin in both climbing and time trialing if I remember correctly. I still hope Pluchkin can pull it off though 
Also nice job by Kobe (I love his name) to grab his first top 10 of the season on stage 2. Watch out for this guy in the seasons to come. B)

Abal sacrificed his chances in last year's edition to ride for france televisions' Robert Gesink, who rode to a dominating victory in last year's race. That being said, I think he is the best man in this year's race, and I know i will be rooting for him for the work he did for Gesink when Ag2r and France televisions rode together last year.
Go get em Abal.

I think it will be great battle, but hopefully Uran get on the podium with Pluchkin and Abal

Pluchkin doesn't seem too sharp. He has been lucky on two occasions now, where he got caught behind his main opponents, where the gaps were nullified at the end.
He should be very able of following Uran, Henao Montoya, Abal and all the others, also in the hills, so I don't know why he is so much behind right now. Is he attacking late or something?

Pluchkin does seem to be attacking later than everyone else, yes. Although on the last stage posted, He and Abal didnt attack at all.

I assume the lack of progress is because Jason Kenny attacked again, like in Langkawi
