    With the announcements of the big teams including guys like Thor, Voight, Klemme, Boom, Bos, Millar etc. what chance do the British teams have of even a stage win this year? I’d love to see Rapha finding out some hard lessons (no reason- I’m sure they’re lovely) But what about Endura? It would be great to see them do well no? Are the local boys anywhere near challenging for this level of race? Thoughts welcome.
