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.

In 2023, Ineos Grenadiers showcased commendable performances, with notable successes in the Tour de France and the Tour de France along with a multitude of victories even Strade Bianche with Tom Pidcock in an electric fashion.
The 2024 season looks optimistic with a number of the younger riders looking to step up to the plate and the arrival of Tobias Foss and a number of extensions could mean a more successful season than 2023. Josh Tarling is one of the most exciting talents in the sport and won the European Time Trial championships in his Neo pro season but a big year for the whole team.

Intermarché–Circus–Wanty did not have the same success as in 2022 but they had some decent performances for Rui Costa who won a stage at the Vuelta Espana and the Japan Cup in his final race for the team.
There were big ambitions for Biniam Girmay in 2023 but he had bad luck crashing at Tour of Flanders, however bouncing back at the Tour de Suisse to win a stage in front of Wout van Aert and at the Tour de France he was in the pointy end of several stages but just a bit unlucky not to win a stage. Nevertheless with another year he will be stronger than ever.
