[wakemalcolm]

18 world tour teams: which will be the last to chalk up a victory? (.1, .pro and WT only: Nat Champs to be argued about down thread).

Serial overpaid underachievers INEOS have declared themselves out of the running on the first day of WT racing. Who will outlast the rest?

Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets.

Kinda cheatingly they were the first out with Jay Vine winning the Aussie national ITT champs on 8 Jan

Probably not everyone thinks that counts but PCS does.

Discounting Nats, I'll go for Picnic Post or whatever their latest incarnation is.

With De Lie injured, that's not a bad shout.
Widar might tear up some hilly .1 races though. These Belgians do like chips.

Alpecin-Premier Tech, haunted by their new cosponsor's bad karma.

Tick Decathlon (CMA CGM, FFS) off the list...

Well, with the minions fighting eachother for the scraps before the boss gets out of bed, nobody really expected it to be UAE anyway, did they?

UAE, who 79.86% of all races last season were never in the running for this season's last to win award.

That's 'Not Sponsoring Netanyahu' cycling out of the running after a results sheet at Willunga that'll have heads being scratched in future years (unless they have to abandon the climb completely).
