    Could you *please* stop trying to jinx my men? Thanks.

    Sorry. I'll post again next time he's racing praising all his rivals

    It's the least you can do :mad:

    hmmm, was hoping for a Jumbo win this weekend. Hofland's illness and injuries to ten Dam and other solid domestics who could support Sep deeper into races are hurting their chances.

    Not sure where their first win will come now...Eneco or Poland perhaps? I think Kelderman might have to brought into action ahead of the Giro.

    Still a way to go to beat AG2R's record from a few years ago. That was May before they won (at the ATOC)

    That was the day they won twice I think, the ATOC win was their second I believe.

    It was Hinault won in the Circuit de Lorraine that day for their first win, and with the time difference Georges got their second win of the season he same day.

    As a little related issue, the following World Tour teams are waiting for a win in the World Tour:

    Astana
    FdJ
    IAM
    Cannondale
    Lotto NL

    It's quite possible one of them will go winless.

    Fun World Tour fact. Since the beginning of the World Tour in 2009 Dan Martin has had more overall race victories than all the French teams combined (4 v 3)

    FdJ win. It's all over. Lotto NL Jumbo are the last team standing.

    Ploeg en jaar: Datum eerste zege:

    Saunier-Duval (2005) 19 mei
    AG2R (2012) 18 mei
    Euskaltel (2005) 8 mei
    T-Mobile (2005) 24 april
    Bouygues (2007) 22 april
    Domina Vacanze (2005) 21 april
    Omega Pharma-Lotto (2010) 18 april

    Table from here: http://www.nu.nl/wielrennen/4034879/zeg ... ecord.html showing the record for the last team to win since 2005. Lotto-Jumbo are getting pretty close to the record, and I can't see them winning soon, considering all 5 podiums this year from them have been in .1 ranked races. Maybe some opportunities in Yorkshire?

    A lot of teams took a long time to win in 2005, did that have anything to do with the introduction of the ProTour?

    Maybe just a quieter pre season, with fewer teams attending Tour Down Under and Qatar, no-one going to San Luis or Langkawi, no Oman or Dubai yet.

    Ah yeah, that was before TdU was ProTour, didn't Contador win it that year?

    Yes, Lotto Jumbo have their first win. I edited the original post.

    But that last post was about the World Tour itself (which was never what this thread was about). I was just mentioning that three teams don't have a win there yet. It's not uncommon for a team not to win.

    Got it. I missed the posts from the last few weeks.

    At least Boom, Mollema and co haven't been racking up the wins for their new teams in the meantime.

    They moved up this year after Europcar dropped down to PCT. Strongest of the Pro-Conti teams in 2014 and got decent financial backing, apparently a budget of 10-15m euros...

    At last, a WT win for LottoNL Jumbo in the beautiful Tour of Eneco.
