My god, that's hilarious-football does cycling for a day and discovers it can't spell any of the names. Author obviously does not give a fuck-some of the 'insights' are pure lols

Cannondale-Drapac

Star man: Andrew Tolansky

Race plan: The American just missed out on a top 10 finish three years
ago, but will be aiming to at least repeat that feat this time around.
It all depends on whether his teammates are disciplined enough to
stick with him and not break away, though.

Cofidis

Star man: Nacer Bouhanni

Race plan: Cofidis aren’t usually a team that stick together, and
isolating Bouhanni may sound like a poor tactic, but his sprint
finishes are normally something to behold.

Direct Energie

Star man: Thomas Voeckler

Race plan: One of the home teams will fancy their chances if their
talismanic figure Voeckler is protected sufficiently and is allowed to
do his own thing in the climbs.

FDJ

Star man: Thibaut Pinot

Race plan: They like a breakaway, do FDJ. Pinot will be hoping to win
at least one stage, if he is aided well.

Fortuned-Vital Concept

Star man: Dan McLay

Race plan: Breakaways. Lots, and lots, of breaks.

I don't know about mis-spelled names--I can see a total of two riders' names and two team names that are mis-spelled. But yes, the insights are amazing, mainly because the writer seems to think that sprinters give a stuff about the GC.

Lotto-Soudal

Star man: Andre Greipel

Race plan: Greipel is known as a ferocious sprinter, and will be looking with eagerness at the flat stages early on to try and shave some minutes off his overall time.

The team-by-team section is very sloppily edited.
