Let's look at all participating teams in detail:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Assa Abloy | PT |
| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | MT | HL | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | | Chaves | Johan Esteban | COL | 34 | 68 | 74 | 77 | 66 | 71 | 70 | 67 | 52 | 58 | 69 | 67 | 62 | | Dainese | Alberto | ITA | 26 | 76 | 62 | 69 | 60 | 75 | 76 | 79 | 64 | 81 | 82 | 64 | 70 | | Hänninen | Jaako | FIN | 27 | 70 | 72 | 75 | 72 | 72 | 73 | 76 | 55 | 64 | 72 | 71 | 68 | | Matsumoto | Yosukue | JPN | 28 | 73 | 71 | 70 | 64 | 70 | 73 | 69 | 65 | 65 | 75 | 79 | 69 | | O'Connor | Ben | AUS | 29 | 70 | 77 | 70 | 71 | 70 | 72 | 75 | 53 | 58 | 68 | 68 | 70 | | Prasad | Darshana | SRI | 30 | 74 | 60 | 68 | 66 | 73 | 74 | 80 | 67 | 78 | 79 | 54 | 69 | | Rickaert | Jonas | BEL | 30 | 78 | 62 | 69 | 65 | 75 | 75 | 73 | 72 | 75 | 73 | 67 | 68 | | Van Aert | Bernard | INA | 27 | 73 | 69 | 70 | 64 | 72 | 72 | 71 | 57 | 72 | 74 | 80 | 71 |
★★☆☆☆
Assa Abloy is counting on Alberto Dainese to compete in the flat stages, he showed good form recently with a 3rd spot in Rund um Koln. Just like the Giro, no real GC threat for this team.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Aker - MOT | PT |
| Last name | First name | Country | Age | FL | MT | HL | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | | Donovan | Mark | GBR | 25 | 72 | 76 | 71 | 65 | 74 | 77 | 69 | 62 | 63 | 71 | 72 | 74 | | Groenewegen | Dylan | NED | 31 | 73 | 61 | 67 | 64 | 74 | 71 | 85 | 59 | 82 | 81 | 59 | 64 | | Harper | Chris | AUS | 30 | 67 | 75 | 73 | 62 | 71 | 72 | 74 | 60 | 65 | 74 | 72 | 65 | | Novak | Domen | SLO | 29 | 68 | 80 | 77 | 66 | 74 | 76 | 77 | 61 | 66 | 76 | 73 | 75 | | Räim | Mihkel | EST | 31 | 74 | 62 | 67 | 61 | 73 | 72 | 75 | 71 | 76 | 75 | 76 | 68 | | Santos | Emerson | BRA | 33 | 75 | 62 | 63 | 65 | 69 | 70 | 74 | 52 | 77 | 76 | 69 | 66 | | Silva | Pedro | POR | 23 | 66 | 69 | 70 | 58 | 75 | 73 | 66 | 60 | 65 | 74 | 74 | 65 | | Veyhe | Torkil | FAR | 30 | 80 | 66 | 68 | 65 | 66 | 71 | 69 | 51 | 56 | 78 | 80 | 71 |
★★☆☆☆
Just like Assa Abloy, Aker-MOT has a ambitious sprinter with Dylan Groenewegen (3 stage wins in Paris-Nice, 6th in MSR and 5th in Köln). They also have Novak for GC, although we predict a result like Paris-Nice where he finished 14th.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Carlsberg - Danske Bank | PT |

★★★☆☆
Frederik Strand Galta will be inspired by his colleague Hugh Carthy, who finished 2th in the Giro. Galta looks to be in contention for a top 5, and maybe more? Sprinter Asbjorn Kragh Andersen already won a stage in Qatar this year.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cedevita | PT |

★☆☆☆☆
Cedevita brought a couple of stage hunters to this race. They put their hopes on Buitrago for U25 classification and Rajovic for a sprint upset.

★☆☆☆☆
EA Vesuvio brought a sprinter, just like most teams, with Nick van der Lijke and maybe Harry Tanfield can surprise in the ITT. Apart from that, they will be looking for breakaways.

★★☆☆☆
Evonik-ELKO has a solid squad with Tobias Foss and Pascal Eenkhoorn as best riders. Foss ended 12th in the Giro, we see another battle for a top 10 this time.

★★☆☆☆
No sprinter for Fastned in this Vuelta. They count again on Tim Wellens, just like the Giro where he finished 10th. He will be definitely battling again for a top-10 spot and maybe more.

★☆☆☆☆
Just like the Giro, mountain breakaways should be the goal for this team. Vingegaard finished 19th in the Giro and is again the GC leader.

All focus on Joe Dombrowski, former winner in 2022. He looks to be the top favourite to get his name on the honour list once again.

Jura GIANTS would be delighted with a replicate of the Giro, where Stüssi ended 7th. Apart from that, Bol is the sprinter who is looking for a maiden victory this season.

★★☆☆☆
Marcus Faglum Karlsson is an outsider who will compete for the top 10. In Paris-Nice he finished 7th. Apart from that, a lot of possible stagehunters in (mountain) breakaways or support for Karlsson.

MOL Cycling Team should aim for a top 5 with Takeaki Amezawa. Just like Lidl, very deep mountain depth to support or go for breakaways themselves.

Moser-Sygic seems to be all-in on Gaviria this Vuelta. He won Tour of Qatar earlier this year, and finished 4th in Rund um Koln and 9th in Milano San Remo.

Oxxo-Frisby has Orluis Aular as their GC threat. With only 2 RD's, he should be fresh to aim for a spot between 5 and 10. They also bring Kristoffer Halvorsen for the sprints.

After Pierre Latour finished 3th in Giro d'Italia, Egan Bernal is seeking another GT podium for Polar. With Inkelaar he has a strong support guy in the mountains.

★☆☆☆☆
Rabobank is another team that bring a sprinter to the table. Danny Van Poppel had some good results in Paris-Nice (1x 2th), but didn't deliver as hoped in the Giro (3x top-10). Kron could surprise in the hilly stages.

★★★☆☆
Another all Russian team for Tinkoff Team - La Datcha. Pavel Sivakov has all the qualities to get a GC top 5. He has decent mountain support and they also bring a sprinter with Artem Samolenkov and a stage hunter with Trakhov.

Xero Racing will have their eyes on the flat sprints with Matti Manninen. The Fin showed he's ready by winning Rund um Koln recently.

After finishing 3rd last year, Lachlan Morton is eager for the overall victory. He won GP Liechtenstein in his only raceday so far. They also have Javier Romo for the hilly stages.

★★★☆☆
ZARA - Irizar has brought the same two big leaders as the Giro: with Ki Ho Choi for GC and Gerben Thijssen for the sprints. Choi finished 6th and Thijssen won two stages, so maybe a repeat?

Thank you for the great preview, Laurens!
Looking at the startlist a top-10 in GC must really be doable for Aular, and if he really feels amazing perhaps a fifth. Realistically, seventh should be doable. He'll need to lost as little time as possible on the flat time trial and hills and make up for it in the mountains. If he performs like he did last year this is possible, but as seen in the Giro a bad start to the race can mean you're just trailing a good form for the rest of it. Hopefully Colombian domestiques Osorio and Merchan can aid him, with Osorio perhaps finishing somewhere in that top-25.
Halvorsen here for the sprints agains quite some other strong sprinters. Hoping he can grab us our first Vuelta stage win, and in theory he has enough chances to make it work somewhere. Hopefully he's not the fourth sprinter though. He should have a great final man in Ruiz, and also decent other helpers in Aguilar Mendez, Abolaji and Parashchak, who could also help Aular over some hills.
Good luck to all.

Well, shit. Not the startlist luck I wanted at all - Manninen in a sea of top sprinters and this really shouldn't have been the GT that Fouche missed looking at that open third tier. Willing to give Matti (with our best possible support including Vermeersch) a chance to perform still, but this is giving me a huge sinking feeling knowing that 21/23 remaining race days of his are going to be in this field potentially not scoring much.

So many good sprinters here might actually be good for Van Poppel. He definitely needs to make up for that awful Giro.
Not a lot to look forward to here except the sprints and maybe the hilly stages if Kron can indeed produce some surprises.
Thanks for the extensive preview.

Super excited for this GT! It’s by far our strongest GT lineup with both Groenewegen and Novak present. Groenewegen must get the sprints right here, it’s key for our season as a whole, and we’ve also brought flat support to try to help him do it. Just hope AI lets us do it 
For Novak, a top 10 looks very doable looking at the startlist (think he is missing from the overview of climbers/GC riders). I am hoping he can use the early hilly rated stages to his advantage, giving himself a good GC position before the TT, thus making it less to gain on others after the TT.
Thank you for a very extensive preview, Laurens! Really enjoyed reading about all teams and your coverage of key riders within each team. Looking a lot forward to see the race get going!  |

More than likely this will be another race where we do next to nothing. I'll be happily wrong though.
@jandal: or Manninen can leech off the top sprinters and have a great race
Thanks for the preview Laurens and to KB for the big effort on another GT

I guess the Tour startlist is gonna bee crazy deep because I expected a stronger one here. Also surprised by how much doubling up there is from the Giro leaders, though I guess I would have done the same thing if I didn't have Galta.
We have a top 10 goal here, and I think that's reasonable. We got our overperformance in the Giro, so i can't ask for too much more than that. Obviously fighting for a top 5 would be great, but if we settle in the 7-8th range that we're projected, I can work with that. No Aranburu or Skjelmose side quests this time, so it should be a fairly straightforward race tactics wise unless we flub things. Keep Galta in front, and hope he doesn't get swamped int he final weeks.
As opposed to the GC guys, the sprinter startlist is stacked. Looks like people finally got the memo that this is the GT to be at. Kind of disappointed I didn't give AKA a run at the Tour sprints now, but I like that he's not a favorite here as compared to Walls in the Giro. AKA traditionally thrives in these situations as a wheelsurfer. And with this being his last maxed GT, I think it gives him the best chance at a stage, even if he won't have the consistency to contest for the points jersey.
Thanks for the great preview!

Agree with bbl, the startlist looks rather weak again in terms of GC riders. At least we should get an actual fight for the win here - and honestly, I've got no clue whether it's going to be Morton's Mo/Hi superiority that will prevail, or Dombrowski's aggressiveness along with some good acceleration - or Bernal's great TTing backed up by monster energy stats. I think the route design is such that we could indeed have the final decision only on day 20 and the Bola del Mundo stage, which would be great for the race.
Looking at my team, Top 15 looks doable for Stüssi. If he can keep up with most 80/81 climbers, he has a TT advantage over most of them and might even get another Top 10, but it's not a must, in particular after his great Giro performance. And yeah, given that we don't have a TTT here, he'll likely lose another GT duel against Choi.
We've got some talents here, and we've got Berthet and Rohendi for breakaways (and mountain support). And we've obviously got Bol. But given that not even the 80 sprinters are good enough to make the list, not sure what we can expect. I picked him because I supposed a stronger sprinter field here than at Le Tour (which could well be the case) and wanted to send Groves to France. Otherwise, he's just a very solid sprinter on paper, getting over some hills, having a good engine on the flat and great energy stats. We'll see if that helps him starting from week 2 - if we want to reach our expected points, we definitely need some good results from him, despite the strong competition. At least one stage podium would be nice.
Thanks for the preview, and good luck to all!

Im really intrigued by what my team can do here. On paper, i see four potential top 25 gc riders with Foss, Plapp, Eenkhoorn and Blums. Not sure how the game will play that out but i see multiple ways in which this could have positive return for us incl break success, KoM, team classification. Particularly with the final week looking harder than the giro one i suspect that the breaks might get more return on their efforts there which should be positive for us. Of course, a top 10 gc might be possible for foss even without that. I really hope that plapp will be recognized as a gc rider as he looks good in the u25 table.
On the other hand, i kinda lack the 73-75mo guys who tend to be more active in the start of the race. Which could be bothering for me.
Ansons, Kurianov and Dversnes are also intriguing break rider for the flat stages. And sureda is if course a solid sprinter. I think between them i dont have any rider here that has no possible role. Of course that doesnt help if kurianov attacks on the mountain stages.
The fight for red looks pretty open which could make this a great race to watch. Eyes are of course on Dombo as a potential victory could really solify their title ambitions after the fantastic giro.
Great preview.

Eenkhoorn, Blums and possibly most annoyingly Plapp all losing over four minutes on an almost pan flat day 1. This is starting brilliantly.

Ouch, some really strong riders losing between 2 and 4 minutes on the first day is really not good. Let's hope it makes for some early fireworks though when those guys are up to no good to latch back on.
Always a bit sad to see riders like Groenewegen and Dainese miss timing their sprint so badly, but atleast it was great to see Gaviria taking the win for Moser. They definately need that after a very bad start to the PT season. It would be nice to see him keeping the lead until after stage 4, and hopefully snatching another win on the way.

Great. Our awful run continues right away. Bol even worse than anticipated in 18th, with a completely random dude like Wouters getting a Top 5. Which means that Bol could also get there with some luck, but it looks like all of our luck for this season is used up.
Getting no breakaway attempt either sucks, would've been a great chance for some free KoM points.
The only positive point of the stage is Stüssi not losing any time. But looking at Plapp, Kämna and others confirms what we have to expect for Le Tour: Nothing.
I just hope we still survive somehow.
Congrats to Moser, Gaviria doing what Gaviria should do.
Thanks for the report. Would love to get an enjoyable one again, though.

Thank you for the report, kb, and chapeau for taking on your second GT! Gaviria winning is great, especially after a proper leadout train. Well done. Congratulations, Roman!
For Groenewegen, I suspect he got blocked, as Santos' leadout looked pretty good on the shot where he was just behind. At least I hope so, as opening his sprint late, looking good for a podium finish, and then drop all the way to 14th is very worrying if it wasn't a block or something making it difficult for him We go again on stage 2! |

Finally some much needed result for my team. Do not even remember the last time one of my riders was leading the GC in a GT.
Thanks a lot for the report.
