Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
You can't send all three to one GT. If Quick gets a Grand Tour it'll be the Vuelta.I can tell you straight out that Groenewegen is doing the TDF and Dunbar is doing the Giro - There is some chance that Matthews will do the Giro because he wants to target the Worlds - There is also a chance Bling may target the Nationals.
My teams are
Giro ; Sobrero, Zana, Grmay, Craddock, Juul-Jensen, Quick, Stewart, Balmer
TDF ; Yates, Hamilton, Matthews, Groenewewegen, Mezgec, Durbridge, Stybar, Harper,

Yates is our #1. We need to plan the GT season around him. And Bling's best Worlds prep has always been off the TdF, who is also a decent chance of wearing yellow as well as being a threat for Green too.
If Groenewegan rides the Giro he'll be the best sprinter there in all likelihood.
There'll be a lot of blowback over this. I understand why but geez, not a good look.Team is rebranded as Team Jayco Alula - Alula a Saudi conservation/ecological resort who were a partner in 2022 have stepped up to being a title sponsor from 2023 to 2025 - I imagine this will give the team a greater budget moving forward

Sobrero the smokie as well.
I think guys like Juul-Jensen, Grondahl Jansen, Durbridge and Craddock are good tweeners for lead outs, and provide a little bit in the mountains. Durbridge and Craddock would be the two I'd favour.Dylan has won in a pretty high level sprint field at Hungary. The lead was excellent given Bora's shitty tactics to disrupt everybody. Think it's the first time I can think of with Kell O'brien and Mezgec for the finish. He might not need any more for the TDF, it keeps him closer the front if they can get away with it.
I think Durbo is a lock and they love Joker. Yates maybe only gets Harper as a mountains domestique which given the opposition they maybe can't do a lot more in the hills. The team has ridden very strongly in the Giro so far, Scotson, Zana, DeMarchi have been really good.I think guys like Juul-Jensen, Grondahl Jansen, Durbridge and Craddock are good tweeners for lead outs, and provide a little bit in the mountains.

Yates, 2x Sobrero/Hamilton/Harper as the climbers
2x Juul-Jensen/Grondahl Jansen/Durbridge/Craddock in between
Groenewegen, O'Brien and Mezgec as the sprint train.
I think Sobrero is close to locked in. It's a weak ITT field and it suits him more than WVA in terms of climbing, and more than Pog in terms of not as steep as what he'd like. Foss, if he gets over COVID in time, is the guy that would worry me for Sobrero.I think Durbo is a lock and they love Joker.

Probably not until last week of the Giro. Think our GT squad is there so I'm hoping to target Classics leaders. Someone like Bagioli could lead, or my preference is definitely to buy out Hirschi's contact from UAE. Even someone like Daan Hoole is someone interesting.Are there any rumours at this stage for potential signings for 2024?
Agreed, would love to see Hirschi or even Kooij on the teamProbably not until last week of the Giro. Think our GT squad is there so I'm hoping to target Classics leaders.
