The team classification is calculated by adding the times of the three best riders of each team per stage; time bonuses and penalties are ignored. In a team time trial, the team gets the time of the fifth rider of that team to cross the finish, or the last rider if there are fewer than five left for the team. If a team has fewer than three cyclists remaining, it is removed from this classification.

I think predicting this is so much harder than GC. Ineos winning last year makes intuitive sense - Geraint Thomas and Adam Yates were both top 10, and Pidcock was 17th. But I would not have been able to tell you that Bahrain won in 2021 - with Pello Bilbao 9th, and Wout Poles and Dylan Teuns at 16th and 17th, respectively. But that doesn't capture everything because it's the overall times per stage, not in the overall classification, so weird variance there can shift things, especially when things blow up in Week 3.
I'll probably start to venture in more once full rosters have been announced - until then I think it's extremely hard to tell. Ineos, JV, UAE seem like safe bets. EF if they've got Carapaz, Powless, Cort, Uran and possibly even Ben Healy seem like underdogs? Tough.
@Checktaschu that's what I thought initially, but Mas would likely place top 5, and Jorgenson has been riding well this season. It wouldn't be strange if Movistar focuses on the team classification with Guerreiro. Still under 10% IMO
