When working on my youth an emerging riders teams I think I found some good picks but was too lazy to change my main game team except subbing in Sean De Bie for Dibben. I mainly filled my team up with cheap neo-pros I don't know nothing about, especially the Colombian ones.
After reading the revealed teams so far I like my team (we are not talking winning here as Joelsim's got this in the bag). Seems like I missed no obvious pick except for probably Ballerini. Others like Bardet, Pinot, Kwiatkowski, Cavendish, Froome or Bouhanni I did not include in my team for one reason or another. I like Bardets season but opted for Gaviria who I hope will show his true potential when paired with Richeze again. Kwiatkowski I like and he will have a better season but I dislike the team he rides for and I'm not sure he will get his chances at the smaller tours with all the new prospects wanting to have their chances too.
GAVIRIA RENDON Fernando 731
YATES Simon 668 when staying healthy he should double his points.
PEDERSEN Mads 583 risky pick but I had him last year and I'm betting on Trek riding a better spring campaign as a whole
MADOUAS Valentin 540 risky pick but confirmed his neo pro season and should get more chances than Gaudu.
MOSCON Gianni 424 potential to triple his score as there are no classic riders left at INEOS.
HIRT Jan 355 risky but I think he gets his chances this year going for GC and stages.
LATOUR Pierre 352 potential to double his points before starting the tour.
SOLER GIMENEZ Marc 350 should get his chances at Movistar now.
