JGMTeam had a terrific start this season. It seems that the depth of his team will maintain him in a front-running position. He is followed by two experienced teams, with an even great tradition of 1st division. Both of them are training young riders, especially
Denver, and don't have gold HV riders, but the quality of their specialists could give them a strong position in the fierce battle for top5 spots.
Fiestina is unexpectedly trying to sell his best HV, Amadeu Salvado, a rider who could really be a factor in this delicated situation: is he sure to pass? isn't he interested? Only time will tell.
The other 6 teams are all in 357 points:
PIPIGU doen't seem to have the HV quality to maintain his position; backwards
ValeronIdolo is building a generation of climbers/hvs??;
MarvelProCycling has Alex Riis, who alone could be a fighter for 1st division, but, honestly, doesn't seem to have big HVs to maintain a strong pace, especially in big tours;
Plopsala is another specialists-team, we will see if they will obtain a considerable advanage in the first phase of the season;
Innioraths (myself
) with 5 gold HVs seems to be in contention, probably Salamon Jordaki (recent transfer) will secure nearly 1500 points between stages and WC that will be a huge booster in the battle for promotion;
NervionBike is an historic 2d team, always good, but never in real contention for promotion, will this year be their year??
Finally I think we have to mention
PDM_cycling_team with a great climbers' team and
TTteam, with the precious support of Hartwig Adenauer, one of the real top HVs of the game (in my personal top 5 for what it's worth).
Expected top5?
That's to the others! Tell everyone your opinion
