STRONG TEAM!

I think Fred Rodriguez has a little sprinting prowess and can win as
well.

Peter Petegem
Robbie McEwen
Tom Steels
Wim Van Huffel
Mario Aerts
Chris Horner
Cadel Evans
Leon Van Bon

MAN! If that team is managed correctly they sure should sweep up a lot
of races this year.

I remember them when they were called Mercury.

Is Pettachi away on a mission to Pluto ?

No worries about Boonen. He's wearing the rainbow jersey this year. That
curse will catch up with him sooner or later.

With the form Boonen seems to be on early it's going to be interesting
to see what his plan for the year is. He's gonna be great for the early
classics, but what does he do from there, or is he going to go old
school and try to be there all season? Green at the Tour? I'd bet he
could do the spring stuff, and dominate the Green the way Zabel did for
the same kind of time period. Then repeak for Worlds?
The kid is really amazing.

PvP: Only has a chance at PR, too old for RvV
RMcE: stages @giro and tour
Steels: maybe a Belgian championship, but that'll be it; he should
stick to track racing.
WvH: top 10 Giro, maybe a stage
Aerts: will be carrying a lot of bidons
Horner: top 15 Tour, maybe a good perfomance in the post-tour one day
races.
Evans: will end between positions 5 and 10 @the tour. Top-5 is
unlikely IMO
Bon: chances at Kuurne, Waregem and PR

A nice mix, good general performances, but not many important wins.

I think the revelation will be Gert Steegmans => several top-10 during
spring semi-classics.
