Any team would like to have Dennis in their squad. He's thought of as possibly the best road talent out of the team pursuit teams of recent years (which is where most of the OGE young riders have emerged from). OGE tried, but I believe Dennis wanted to put some space between himself and the AIS...

Darth Vader is Froome's father

Not sure if this has been posted already....Adam Hansen. Legend. Might as well enjoy the crowds.... http://www.news.com.au/sport/aussie-rider-adam-hansen-enjoys-a-donated-beer-during-tour-de-frances-most-sadistic-stage/story-fnh34s7u-1226681750324

Coincidentally the weather map doubles as a profile of the parcours :D

Seriously, if his peak was beating Mick Rogers first ride back from a break and a bunch of American domestic racers than his peak is over rated.

I think he's going to be fully road focussed. I hope so anyway, especially this far out from the Olympics, it would be a waste to spend half a season focussed on the track in prep for 2016. I think they're beginning to see this with how long delayed some of the other guys you've mentioned have...

It could actually lead to some really exciting stages as other GC guys go all in on a 'crazy' attack, even multiple guys going at the same time. What has Conti got to lose, he doesn't aim to finish on the podium, he'd rather risk it for the win.

OGE have now announced he's signed on a 'multi year' contract (and will stagiare this year)

With reports of Euskaltel likely to drop out, Vacansoleil the same, Europcar still looking for money, Sojasun the same there could be a lot of transferring this year. If EE and Vac go who is likely to step up to WT. Obviously the UCI stuff up means Argos/Katusha fills one of the spots, who would...

Cyclingtips has a bit of a summary with a few tweets from the sprinters http://cyclingtips.com.au/2013/07/chasing-le-tour-kittel-takes-two/ For mine, I think Cav hooks the elbow and should have been relegated. He makes a lot of noise about how the road was turning left so he was going...

I would guess this is Cadel's last year at GC at the tour, maybe full Giro focus next year so that should free the team up for Gilbert, (and Im sure Cadel will ride for Gilbert at Lombardia later in the year). I don't think BMC will be building their whole team around TJVG next year :D

I was a bit surprised to see Westra in the break yesterday, I thought he might do a decent TT. He wasn't going to beat Martin, but yesterday never looked like a day to get in the break other than for some TV time.

He's sh!t. There, I figured it out for him.;) Anyone know where the Spanish armada are? Kreuziger has been great, but haven't seen anything of Paulihno, Hernandez or Noval when the hammer drops.

I think the answer is IAM Cycling. Ambitions to step up, apparently some decent money behind them, Andy just needs to score some WT points to help the team make the leap.
