Startlist over at PCS - http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Rund_um_Koln_2014-Startlist - shows that this year's field almost rivals the Spanish races for lack of quality. Only one WT team, Belkin, a handful of ProConti teams and - nearly always a bad sign from the viewpoint of the depth of talent in a race - a local national team. Feel the width, though - there are 25 teams in total.

It's FSA-DS Cat.6 so Top5 score points. Belkin should be favourites and fancy their chances, so they're bound to find an entertaining way to lose, as usual. MTN have Ciolek; NetApp bring Barta and Bennett. Conti winner last year - Sebastian Delfosse - so why not this year? At least it won't be Stefan Schumacher. Wait. What? Oh, right ....

Who ya got? Who d'ya fancy?
