It's here!
The Tour Down Under goes ProTour for 2009, and is our season opener. Who will lead over Willunga hill?

I have Gerrans and Voeckler here, one of them could surprise on the Willunga hill unless someone is bringing his team leader here...

I got Anza! But I guess a breakaway rider will win it..

I eeeehh... dont know what to say.... I just looked at my season planner and eeeh... I think I made a mistake...
I have a squad in this race that could dominated any grand tour in any stage.... 
Cunego, Marzano, Bennati, Castaneda, Coppel, marinangeli, prestia, schmitz... I really dont know what to think of this race...
if I dont win 3 stages + overall I'm dissapointed... thats not overestimating this team rigth? |

No.
Although given how strong the peloton is, it'll be a lot of riders going over the Willunga hill - so I think it'll all be about the sprinting
When are you doing the race?
After the CT Down Under Classic

Im very happy after seing La Gazetta's team - Cunego has wasted some of his race days
I have sent Oscar Freire here, hopefully he can grab a couple of points in the sprints

I've brought Ashley Hutchinson to go for the sprints, but not much else...

Initial tests for this race are good - all the teams are there with the correct riders - now just to do the jerseys

My team must be among the absolute weakest...
Marcus Burghardt
Ondrej Slobodnik
Kristof Goddaert
Steve Morabito
Johan Tschopp
Markus Zberg
Stéphane Bonsergent
It is based on my guess that this race will end with a breakaway winner... Hopefully I will have an attacker on each stage based on the fact that I have no riders that are captainworthy. |

actually I have the weakest team:
Ben Brooks
Jai Crawford
Luis Pasamontes
Roman Kilun
Sven Nys
David Deroo
Frederik Willems
Kevin Ista
actually i signed Brooks after taking a look at Crommy's story with his crazy stage win in DTU, looking for a repeat and breaks
