Great preview, ember! 
Pretty spot-on with Puma as well. I guess this is the most positive preview of my team so far 
Surely the first two seasons are focused on having fun with many stage/classic wins, whereas the serious promotion business will have to wait a bit.
I thought this would be a good approach for a new team. Especially my young puncheurs will be crucial then. Add a replacement for an aging Bennati and some uphill specialists...we'll see in 2014
Just one thing:
Gasparotto won't have many chances to shine as he + Vedel Kvist are set to be the leadout for Bennati in nearly every race. Their great secondary stats and especially their good acceleration should fit perfectly for that task (sobrano pointed out the effects of ACC in a thread).
Croket will be the sprint leader in any stage race we seriously compete in, though.
btw: I missed Limousin as well

The last 5 teams are up; Team Trilux – Falke, Team Venchi Procycling, Team WWE, Vespa – Aprilia – De Rosa and Volkswagen – Siemens.
Unicredit and Bimbo Nutella misses, they haven't delivered all their files yet.
My final predictions should be up in the evening. Hopefully you have time to read it, inbetween all race reports from the ManGame! |

Only one complaint, my name is Christer, not Crister.

I think you have Vespa spot on.
A lot hinges on Carrara and Bosisio as back up riders delivering decent results.
Pozzo and Ginanni I'm not too worried about - the stage races tend to be more predictable and Ginanni is in more this year. |

And the final predictions are up. Team Bianchi looks set to win the Division, but there's a couple of surprising predictions on the list. Lastly, some random thoughts were added, which could all end up being completely wrong.
Hope you can enjoy it!

I hope you are more right with the more success of Boom and Vantomme.
The 26th would be a bit too low for my expectations. |

I f the rest of my season goes how the Veulta al Tachira is going, you might have been generous in putting Hollister 22nd  |
