2010 Team-By-Team Season Review: #5
#5 – Rabobank (Preview Ranking: #9) What We Said: Rabobank’s another risky team to place in the top-10 as their performances often fall short of their expectations given the level of talent they have on the squad. Rabobank’s success hinges upon the seasons of four men in two major departments: the classics with Lars Boom … Continue reading

2010 Team-By-Team Season Review: #6
#6 – Team Katusha (Preview Ranking: #10) What We Said: Katusha takes #10 by a hair over Omega Pharma-Lotto, due to the depth of talent on its roster. But talent has never been Katusha’s problem—fulfilling it’s potential has. The signings of Kolobnev, Kirchen, and Rodriguez bolster an already impressive squad, while the healthy return of … Continue reading

2010 Team-By-Team Season Review: #8
#8 – Omega Pharma-Lotto (Preview Ranking: #11) What We Said: Last season, Silence-Lotto was to the autumn what Quick Step was to the spring—maybe even a bit better. And while Quick Step might have more top riders for the classics, Omega Pharma-Lotto has one who will consistently ride well from March to October: Philippe Gilbert. … Continue reading
