Similar - forgot IAM were WT. Liked the previous kit tho, this yrs is meh.
Suppose Coppel or Brandle might snatch a low-level TT or breakaway win tho.0 -
and yet their kit is so amazing.Richmond Racer 2 wrote:IAM. Jesus, that team bores the ar%e off me0 -

They are to cycling what Geneva is to the world.0 -
As others - not sure what Lampre's thing is, and to be honest not sure they know either. Hoping Nibali doesn't choose them next year.0

1 dayers, plus sprints with Modolo and Ferrari
And lets not forget the Tour of Switzerland with Costa
But now they have Meintjes,and I'm not sure how they are going to be able to give him meaningful support for his GT ambitions much beyond Niemiec...0 -

No doubt that the philosophy, which is the foundation of the company IAM’s success since almost 20 years and the investment style of the IAMFUNDS.CH funds, based on judgement, discipline, patience and vision, will allow the IAMCycling Team to follow in the tracks of IAM.
So a rich man's plaything then?
And not a very interesting plaything.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -

Nah.
It's an asset manager. Just a company sponsoring a cycling team.0 -
I thought IAM were well liked.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0

Aw c'mon. You're not counting that surely.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Sneaky - GP Marseille was supposed to be the small French race where FDJ break their duck, notice Pinot in 2nd0
-
Jumbo break their duck0
-
I'm bust.
It's going to be AG2R isn't it.0 -
Modolo has to be in with a chance of getting a win in Qatar, not a strong field at all. Could be a big upset!0
-
ha ha... and there was me saying that Jumbo hadn't signed anyone. The one youngster they signed (and I didn't know about) goes and gets the win...0
-
So does a 2.1 rated race count?
Excellent if so.
I've got all your names, doubters.
Could be a golden year!Half man, Half bike0 -

And Cannondale. I don't count National Championships as they aren't technically riding for their team.andyp wrote:http://www.procyclingstats.com/rankings.php?c=1&filter=1&id=3996&nation=&class=WT&compare_to_id=2473" target="_blank
Dimension Data
FDJ
Lampre
AG2R
Katusha
And Giant who that list completely misses.Twitter: @RichN950 -
You're kidding! I thought you were only counting official UCI world Tour races0

According to INRNG Giant-Alpecin haven't had a top 10 yet...0

Scratch Dimension Data.
What matters: 2.1 or the quality of the field?
Cav took a few Qatar scalps getting to the century and a half."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
To be fair, half of their team got taken out by some lunatic driving on the wrong side of the road!0
