2010 Team-By-Team Season Review: #14

Posted on December 8, 2010 by

#14(tie) – BMC Racing Team (Preview Ranking: #5) & Cervélo Test Team (Preview Ranking: #2) What We Said (BMC): The new-and-improved BMC Racing Team is the first of two Professional Continental teams in the top-5, proof that a Pro Tour license isn’t the only key to success.

2010 Team-By-Team Season Review: #15

Posted on December 8, 2010 by

#15 – Vacansoleil (Preview Ranking: #17) What We Said: Vacansoleil is the epitome of a team trying to do more with less.  Look at its stars from 2009: Bozic, Hoogerland, and Westra are hardly household names, yet they accounted for more wins than several teams with bigger budgets and more recognizable rosters.  In addition to … Continue reading →

2010 Team-By-Team Season Review: #16

Posted on December 7, 2010 by

#16 – Team Quick Step (Preview Ranking: #12) What We Said: It’s not good when your top Grand Tour rider’s name is Kevin Seeldraeyers.  No offense to the guy, but one top-15 finish in a Grand Tour is hardly anything to write home about—especially when you’re from Belgium, a country not known (at least lately) … Continue reading →

2010 Team-by-Team Season Review: #19

Posted on December 1, 2010 by

#19 – Androni Giocattoli – Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni (Preview Ranking: not ranked) What We Said: Nothing, we didn’t rank them in our preseason top-20.  Hindsight’s 20/20. What We Saw: Left out of our pre-season top-20, Androni was a team thought by many to contain little more than aging veterans, washed-up former stars, and men most … Continue reading →
