Jayco are well clear of the relegation zone, with Astana and B&B Hotels needing miracles to avoid being relegated.
Towards the bottom of the article they review how teams went compared to pre-season "2024 Team BTP NET Projections". Basically, they looked at the team rosters and the past performances of those riders, and predicted how the teams would go throughout the 2024 season.
Jayco were the standout worst performers, relative to the pre-season predictions. They were predicted to be the 5th best team, but finished a woeful 14th. The article puts it down to significant under-performance by 2 riders - Caleb Ewan and Simon Yates. Yates' transition from GC rider to occasional stage winner resulted in him claiming only 1/3 of his 2023 points tally, while Ewan's descent from mediocrity to outright shiteness has been well documented here.
