    Is it the same teams every year?

    It's a while since Jumbo have been this deep into the contest. But otherwise, I think so.

    Except Cofidis have won and NTT have folded.

    I voted Astana but was worried that Lutsenko might break their duck in today’s Spanish Strade Bianche race.
    He’s just ridden Tim Wellens off his wheel and is going for a 43km solo.

    How can Jumbo still be out? It's mind-boggling

    Binning off your world class sprinter doesn't help.

    Their top two riders haven't done a race yet.

    Their team for the Ardeche races at the weekend is stacked. Like turning up to a conkers tournament with a wrecking ball.

    This year's finalists are AG2R and DSM.

    Are DSM still going or did all their riders leave?

    Jumbo come good in the classics, as I hoped (for this competition). AG2R on the podium on the road - the top step still awaits them here, but DSM might well be edging ahead. :#

    Problem with DSM is they are more committed to winning the World A Cappella Championship.

    AG2R get a win. It’s all over. DSM are this year’s winners.

    Dammit! Not that I had money on it. I bet they're hoping to come good in the GTs and longer stage races.
