I'm not a fan, but he looked to be on good form for the classics. I think he can still be pretty useful (as long as stupid Leo van Vliet doesn't assign him team leadership for the Worlds).

meh, regardless of who we have as leader we have no chance on this course.

I'd say, Van Avermaet, Ballan, Burghardt, Evans, Hincapie, Morabito, Moinard, Quinziato, Santambrogio, and Tschopp. They've also got a handful of solid talents, who have yet to fully prove themselves with the pros, like Kristoff, Phinney, Roe and Eijssen.

That was pretty accurate and correct. On kroon he has been getting serious injuries during the classics season due to crashes but he is certainly not as good as before due to his age. But he is still a better than average rider. Kroon and quinziato really look alike on the bike!

Yeah, perhaps just sent some young squad to copenhagen for experience.

Indeed.

I think I remember gesink said on his website he is happy to ride as a worker at the WC. I don't think he should waste his time really.

I assume Bos will ride the vuelta, so he might get a ride at the wc also. Not that he'll challenge, but maybe the experience will be good for him.

Nope, we don't really have a rider with an uphill sprint. Pim Ligthart maybe
