Raleigh

The Nottingham-based outfit has recruited strongly over the winter to add to what was already a capable crit team, spearheaded by Doncaster's Graham Briggs, who went through a period last summer of winning virtually anything and everything he started.



We've already seen evidence of that strength; new signing Tom Scully finished second in the Eddie Soens from behind a strong Raleigh lead-out.

That said, call them a one-trick pony at your peril. Alex Blain, who won both the Dengie Tour and a horrific edition of the CiCLE Classic last season, comes from Endura and links up with former Cofidis buddy Eric Berthou.
