#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
