In terms of strength in depth, I think their cobbled classics squad is amongst the best as they have the likes of Thomas, top ten finisher in both Flanders and Roubaix, Stannard, winner of Het Volk, Eisel, winner of Gent-Wevelgem, Wiggins, who impressed hugely in Roubaix this year, and a host of strong and talented domestiques like Rowe, Knees, Pate et al.
They are a bit short for the hillier classics, but Sergio Henao has showed huge promise in those so will be a factor next season.

Wiggins leaving after P-R I think.
They still look woefully short of one day riders considering the amount of resources available. I know that's not a priority, but it does mean they risk ending the season with very little to show if the grand tours don't go their way.
