Looks good so far. They mentioned on the Eurosport commentary of the Vuelta yesterday that Edvald Boassen Hagen was likely to join from Columbia, which would be a good signing IMO.

Like to see some big names in there especially as Cav, Wiggo and Millar have all but ruled themselves out.

i would rather not see the big names personally, let this team develop some good young British talent and not have the media spotlight on them because of a Wiggo or a Millar. there is the danger that a big anme places too much expectation on the younger riders as neither Wiggo or Millar, Cav et al will be happy with a young and inexperienced team incapable of helping them given where those three in particular are in their current career. Cav and Wiggo need big teams with big riders around them to support them, not young up-and-coming riders who need time to develop.

Downing looked really good in the tour of ireland so the team has lots of potential.

Well if the rumour that Contador is signing for Garmin is true that could definitely free up Wiggo...
