Biniam Girmay had a mixed season in 2023, winning a stage of the Tour de Suisse but crashing on his birthday at the Tour of Flanders and the Tour de France he came close to win a stage on a number of occasions. Adjusted to the pressure he now has his sights on the Classics and Tour de France again with another year and a stronger Girmay it could be his year once again.

German media reports that the Red Bull-owned German team could be on the market to sign both Evenepoel and Van Aert to bolster squad for next season.

The new season is almost upon us and we thought it was time for a fresh set of predictions of the 5 Monuments and 3 Grandtours plus the rainbow jerseys. Maybe Tadej Pogacar will be able to win the 2024 Giro d'Italia or Cian Uijtdebroeks? The Yellow jersey battle should be an enjoyable encounter between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard once again? Or maybe even Wout van Aert will get to win a monument or wear the rainbow jersey on the road as well?

EF had an interesting 2023 season with a bit of disappointment at the Tour de France as the new signing Richard Carapaz crashed on stage 1. Still, Neilson Powless had a good start to the season and Ben Healy was stellar in the Ardennes as well as winning a Giro d'italia stage win. 

Plenty of new signings and could be a team to look out for in 2024.

The 2023 season was an emotional one for Bahrain Victorious with the tragic loss of Gino Mader. 

The team were impressive at the Tour de France with several stage wins and a Top 10 overall with Pello Bilbao and will look to repeat that for 2024.

 Matej Mohorič will be looking for success in the cobblestone classics and could well do so. The transfers were thin on the ground for the team with the star transfer being Torstein Traen from Uno-X but the team lost Mikel Landa to Soudal Quickstep and Jonathan Milan to Lidl Trek.
