Ok, after a little bit of research, i'd got with the yellow and black jersey above, seeing as these are their bikes

Assuming they have something similar to last year, they are the 7 eleven team, but then again, they were 7 Eleven RTS racing

Only other RTS i can find is this

The only rider who seems to have raced so far for them is Jai Crawford, I think that was the aussie champs

BUT then again, last years Giant Kenda team, was managed by the same guy and they have this kit

I couldn't see any Arabic names or nationalities in the list, which is a pity, but plenty of Japanese and Chinese ones. Will be interesting to see how they go. They could make a few breaks at least. If we all go for 3 star sprinters we'll need some cheap DSs.

Could even the Iranians be something to bet on in the Arab world?

Rasch has said he is aiming for a top 5 position, and the other norwegian Kristoff is looking to get his first pro win

So many questions... Time to do some thinking!

Bolton Wanderers backed the Japanese by loaning Ryo.
So, as a fan, I might follow suit. . . .  4

Ah... I was backing Bennati as a bit of a point machine for this one as well!

Back to square one...

Time to start; some quite big names in there. Wonder if Cav will be worth the points! Greipel, Hushovd must be good picks but soon the points run out. Are the Chinese or Japanese worth a punt?

Dont know owt about the Japanese or the Chinese but no doubt they will want to put on a show for the cameras.

Decision is do you go for Cav cos he's world champ etc etc or with Griepel as he is on fire ?  39
