Superb season I think - 2nd team overall at the Tour but as Lavenu has just said - comme on dit au foot, nous avons du mal à mettre la balle au fond - as they say in football we have a hard time finding the net (?)
Lots of seconds and thirds but not many wins. What/who do they need

Riblon - can he carry the new self-belief through to next year?
Betancur - like Sky with Henao, they have to figure out with him how to prevent a repeat of a season of such contrasting halves
Can they help Bardet fulfill his promise?
Pozzovivo - often there or thereabouts. Surprised he hasnt managed a win at all (I'm saying nothing about that Vuelta TT)

More unsung heroics. Cracked collar-bone doing a reccy. Raced anyway. Came down 2km from home. On the same shoulder. Hero.
In front of his family too :shock:
And if you saw the footage of him stacking it in the TT, he wasn't holding back downhill on that stage. Madman.
Lots of interesting riders. From what we saw this year, I think Vuillermoz looks a potentially good signing. I keep waiting for Bouet to make a BIG step, but hasn't quite happened yet.
Its the fault of the Aussies, he slid on a nice road painting done in support of the Orica GreenEDGE guys. Its all their fault. 8)
