It WILL be Bardini, MTN and Colombia.
Bardini - Italian team would do them anyway, plus a very good showing in 2013
MTN - A team interested in Italian races and with success. Plus fits well into the Giros idea of globalizing
Colombia - A team interested in Italian races and with success. Plus fits well into the the Giros idea of globalizing
IAM and Netapp will be passed over because of stated focus on TDF. Caja because of the lack of global appeal compared to some other applicants. UHC because they lack serious globalizing appeal and quality. Novo for the same reasons as UHC.
I mean I agree with you that those three would get it but how does UHC lack a globalising appeal? America is a huge media market.

I think because there are already USA World Tour teams, but no African or Colombian? |

I wouldn't rule out Caja Rural just yet: they have two Italians and Arroyo (2nd in 2010 and leader for five days) in the team. |

Wiggins refused to pay Froome his share of the sponsor bonus for 2012 TDF win
Yay, it's everyone's favourite person, Chris Froome's fiancée. 
I love the last paragraph in particular. Apparently, Wiggo rode at the World Champs in support of Froome. From what I remember, he pulled out after about 1 lap because he couldn't be arsed to help Froome. This man is a national hero  .

The 2013 Worlds? Here was "there" for a while, just at the back... as in the back, last man in group... And it's pretty much moot because they all pussied out nice and early anyway.
Cound is the 2nd best person i follow on Twitter. Everything she says involves Chris and i now imagine her like Overly Attached Girl... goddamn it makes for some great reading.
Equally none of that strikes me as news. Wiggins and Froome don't like each other!  I never guessed! Wiggins is a c*nt! I never guessed!

I personally can think of many of my colleagues I wouldn't give a cent to, even if they helped me hit my bonuses. Doesn't make me a c*nt, just means I think they are some.

Wiggins has that attitude which is if he is not leader then why bother. Its a good thing cause it makes him a better rider (i guess). But, he must understand that there is a reason he is not leader. Next thing Wiggo is going to come out and say that Froome dopes.

A new British Pro Cycling team has formed in Hereford.
SOME of the biggest names in UK cycling have signed for a new Hereford-based professional team.
Sean Yates, who helped Bradley Wiggins to an historic Tour De France triumph, has joined.
English sprinter Adam Blythe, a former WorldTour rider, is another leading name.
Team owner John Wood believes NFTO Pro Cycling will ‘put Hereford ‘firmly on the sporting map’.
“It is going to be the biggest thing that has ever happened for cycling in Herefordshire,” said 44-year-old Wood.
“In footballing terms we are now in the Premiere League and we will be looking forward to races around the country including The Tour Series and the Tour of Britain,” he said.
“The team will be one of the top UK UCI continental tour teams and we are certainly putting Hereford on the cycling and sporting map.”
Wood is a successful businessman who has lived in the Herefordshire since 1992.
He says NFTO Pro Cycling will be based in Hereford and is named after a newly-created clothing brand called Not For The Ordinary.
The team have been seeking a UCI Continental licence and will be looking to compete in both the UK and in the mainland Europe next year.
Wood said: “We will be the first professional cycling team in Hereford and race in domestic and international races.
“The team launches in January and next year is going to be very exciting for the city and the sport.”
"There are some big names involved – and it will get some major exposure on television and in the media.”
“Sean Yates is our race director and he was Team Sky’s sports director when Wiggins become the first British rider to win the Tour De France.”
NFTO held a training day in Hereford earlier this month and have also recruited Britain's Russell Downing from NetApp-Endura and brother Dean Downing from Madison Genesis.
Wood said: “We have a full team of professional riders including some really good talent from Brecon and a couple of local riders.
“We have Sam Williams, from Hereford, and I will also be racing.”
Wood grew up supporting Leeds United and has back a host of local amateur cycling in Herefordshire.
He said: “I have owned a number of businesses in Hereford and have always had a passion for cycling.
He added: “This is good news for the city in a year that will be bringing the Tour De France to the UK.
The Hereford-based NFTO Pro Cycling team: owner and rider John Wood, Adam Blythe, Dean and Russell Downing, Sam Harrison, Matt Rowe, Dale Appleby, James McCallum, Hugh Wilson, James Lewis, Sam Williams, Jon Mould, Ryan Bevis, James Lowsley Williams, Joshua Hunt .

I have been saying Herefordshire would be a good place for a team for a while now and they have some fairly good signings.
I may buy PCM 13 now and use them

Hmmm, not sure if this is good or bad news. I suppose Kreuziger will be the leader. Contador and Roche as co-leaders then?
