Men's Road Cycling > The 2015 Winners and Not So Winners List

Leadbelly · « **on:** January 12, 2015, 11:11 »

So which teams will be the last to get a win this year?

Last year Astana were the last WT squad to get onto the top step of the podium, and of course Novo Nordisk of the PCT teams didn't achieve that goal at all.

Nationals don't count.

going for novo nordisk again and lotto-jumbo

I'm going with Katusha and Team Roompot

I'll go with Trek for World Tour. And of course Novo Nordisk for PCT. I always wondered what's the story of this team. They are PCT but they have no half decent cyclits. Why are they PCT anyways?

When the team first became ProConti (2011), it had a combination of diabetic (Megias, Kerkhof, Verschoor etc.) and non-diabetic riders (Bodrogi, Efimkin, Kocjan, Reijnen etc.) - and actually won UCI races like that year's Tour of Rwanda (2.2) or Tour of Turkey (2.HC).

Starting in 2013 they (re-)introduced a "diabetics only" policy at the team. Interestingly coinciding with a sponsor change from Sanofi to Novo Nordisk; that may or may not have played a role, I don't know.
But the team continued as a ProConti team. Why? They registered in time, they paid the license fees - and unlike for the WorldTour, there is no requirement of any sporting standard to be ProConti. When team's applications are rejected (which happens rarely enough) it's always for financial reasons. If the 16+ riders you contract are actually able to win a race on the level they're going to ride at plays absolutely no role.

A discussion could be had if that is how it should be, or if teams should have to 'qualify' for ProConti.

Could be a few PCT teams that struggle to get that first win I feel.

look a very slim squad.

might have to wait till the first races in Russia.

only had two wins last year if we discount Nats and have lost Swampy and Chalapud.

look weak, but surely will pick something up in a ssr.

made some nice signings, but I still don't see too many wins from Brajkovic and Ratto.

Andrea Peron is half decent imo, not great no, but half decent yes. The rest of the team is more likely to win a participation medal than any other medal really though.

I think they are PCT so they can do the races they want, as far as moving from conti to pro conti I think the only requirement is that you give UCI more money.

Tour Down Under st 2, WT, movistar,

, Juan José Lobato

Two stages of both TdU and TdSL done and only one WT / PCT winner so far from the four stages. Who'd have thunk it?

Tour Downunder st3, WT , BMC ,

, Rohan Dennis

Wow, no real changes beyond Porte-Sky with that Malori win. San Luis has really been owned by Latin America this year.

Thread deserves sticky. Is now sticky.

Has to be between Trek and LottoNL, I think. Low scoring Lampre usually picks up a little win here or there in the early Italian races like Laiguieglia.

Joelsim · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2015, 11:42 »

Where is Garmin-Cannondale's first win going to come from? They don't have a single pure sprinter. I can see them getting less than 10 wins all season but getting some decent stage race GC finishing. Just can't see many winners in that team at all. At least Lampre have Modolo, Ulissi and Costa, and maybe Oliveira for the TTs.

I voted for Tinkoff before I remembered Sagan.

Here's hoping I'm right anyway

The funny thing is, so did I.

I still think it is a good bid, after all they lack the small races nationally that other teams pick up early wins in, so might be a chance. We just need Sagan not to win any of his prep races for the classics. I'm sure that Lobato will snuff him at MSR by the way.

Down to the last four now.

The two French teams, Cannondale and Jumbo.

Nearly two weeks since a new team got their first victory.

Still FDJ, Cannondale and

left from the WT and 11 PCT teams.
