It's right around the corner!!! I couldn't keep up with all the who's and what nots this off season.
So therefore my half ignorant vote goes to specialized. Bronson being the top dog.

Lapierre has a pretty good team:
Loic Bruni will probably win something this year
Sam Blenkinsop seems to have been recently almost as good as in the Yeti days
Loris Vergier is pretty quick in the junior category?
Emmeline Ragot will win if Rachel Atherton has a bad day

No doubt on Lapierre, Bruni will shake things up. Id rank syndicate just ahead of them though. Tracey could be a threat if healthy and a race on home soil can't hurt.

I figured this would be a good fluffer thread for the "who is going to win?"-just a bit too early for that though. The dubl vision bike thread puts the silly season out on a high note.

Giant has a really solid team as well: Hart, Gutierrez and Neethling.
Hart must be really hungry for a WC win, Gutierrez has been steadily getting faster and even Neethling found an extra burst of speed on some races last year.

Syndicate. Devinci. Nukeproof. all good teams with a top-of-podium threat, along with really solid support (if you can call Peaty support)... I think Commencal-Riding addiction and Hutchinson UR are semi-dark horses...

imo syndicate and the big S are the top two teams these year . I hope gwin is back to old form and dominates the WC once again . I would also like to see hill when a race or two this year .
