2017 Silly Season, Round 1

Okay, here's the first crack at silly season for 2017. Some of it's real, a portion is rumored (wink/nudge), and some of it will inevitably prove itself wrong (or change, like sponsors that have yet to be announced, or if the projected numbers move around). But if you haven't been paying attention, it's a place to start. As always, if you've got info to add, a legit team logo, or anything to help fill in the blanks, send an email to GuyB.

You'll find a whole bunch more Twitter (T) and Instagram (I) links for riders. Oh, and feel free to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
