After stage 1, let's add a REVIEW OF THE TEAMS:

Lorient
Most expensive team. 592k. Famous for one day races and stage wins. Currently 2nd place in Div 1. With their superstar Laurent Bram, they won 5 stages, maglia azzurra and the team classement at Giro 2019. But, Bram only finished 4th... The big question is, will Lorient ride for stage wins or purely for Bram GC? Or can he really do both? His form suggests yes. After winning Tour de Suisse, he might be ready for a GT win.

Chartreuse Monks
Another very experienced team with more than 2,000 races. They arrived in Brussels with Paris-Nice winner NeigeDeSavoie but they did not bring their Paris-Roubaix winner. A strong classics armada with four 70+/70+ riders next to NeigeDeSavoie should be able to provide some action. Especiallz DeCrolles with 68 sprint could play a big role in stage wins and perhaps maillot vert.

Gipfelstuermer
What can you say about yourself? Obviously no GC rider in the team... But Gipfelstuermer won maglia cilamino 2018, maillot vert 2018, maglia ciclamino 2019 and now maybe again going for maillot vert? If so, the first stage went fantastic with Jacob's win. He was only 24 years old when he won 2 Giro stages and maglia ciclamino. So now, at 26 years, it is another chance for him to try it.

Rsc Spree
Can you believe it? With 550 races, the second youngest team in this TDF! They are famous for going for mountain classement and of course did that on stage 1. But can he do more than only polka dot? Perhaps a chance for some stages? Gustav Havel and Alex Havel could be a nice combo for the mountains. Also, he might be favorite for the TTT with all the riders with good TT skills.

Rohazon RC
6 riders from the Martin family... Confusing but interesting. Joseph Martin and Fabian Jeker another good combo for the mountain stages. Raymonde Martin one of the strongest classics here. And he even has a very string sprint skill! Marcelle Martin one of the strongest flat riders. So it will be interesting to see if this line-up is only here for stage hunting or if the Martin/Jeker combo can attack GC at the right moment.

Flolandria
They sold vanEffelterre and arrived at TDF as a sprint team. 64-66-79-90 train is extremely strong. For normal sprint finishes at least and +3 arrival is not normal as the spectators saw on stage 1. Nevertheless, there a number of real flat stages to come and Vasilakis could benefit from that. Also, don't forget Jonas Tahon. Another very strong classic here with 72-78 and 64 sprint.

waerl
Two mountain riders seems to be the trend in this TDF. Kiab and Blac is a nice combination for sure and the team hired Tom Fouquet, a superstar classic with an insane 76-81 skill. However, Fouquet is a real mercenary. A hero in skill he hired with Speed Razor, Crazy Viking, now waerl. Maybe waerl is the best manager so far, but does Fouquet have the heart for big wins?

Uhlsport
Anton Müggel. Maybe the favo for polka dot since Uhlsport is famous to ride for polka dot all the time. He is the manager who made a 91 mountain rider not win polka dot and only become 2nd in TDF 2018. He also did not win maglia azzura in Giro 2019... So a lot of pressure on him... Or maybe a surprise if he does something else than going for polka dot?

Heavy Weapons Guy
The youngest team. 132 races including Giro 2019. He is here to enjoy his first TDF and it might be even more exciting then Giro 2019. Two stages at the Giro and two stages at Dauphine promise, that he will fight for a good result and some stage wins.

zizou
A well balanced team. Wilder as the 87 mountain, Cole and Oviir as strong classics. Can expect some action on hilly and mountain stages from zizou.

Team Suessem
Can we call this a sprint team? Probably yes. So Flolandria with a train but without flat riders. Team Suessem without a train but with flat riders. In the fight for maillot vert, Nico Steg could play a role for sure. If Flolandria, Suessem and Gipfelstuermer work together, maybe they can create a number of bunch sprints, but the teams are very different... and already on stage 1 we saw some siebing and some attacks against each other. With 423k salaray, Suessem is not under pressure, so he can try whatever he wants for Steg or for his strong flat riders, especially Wadle!

Fly Eagles Fly
Last but not least, this experienced team with more than 1,000 races, but recently less active and now back in Div6! Given their big experience, they have hired strong riders: Alvaro Bernal with 89 moutain, a real competitor for Laurent Bram, and Esteban Mendoza with 85 mountain and 65 TT another possible captain for the GC! In this combination, perhaps Fly Eagles Fly is even more a GC favo than Lorient. Two strong classics (Fras and Stills) complete the strong team for the mountains. The classics are not as strong as Lorient's classics but it should remain good support. Spectators can look forward to an interesting TDF 2019!
