Nordhaug has spent the last 2 weeks with Julich in Monaco specifically to improve his TT ahead of this race. Will definitely be interesting to see how he goes. I actually have a feeling he'll end up on the podium in the end, but I guess I'm a bit biased! :p

Of course, if Froome does a very good TT then Nordhaug will probably have to sacrifice himself for Froome in the mountains.

It's so hard to predict at the moment who out of the Sky riders will go well (or who will even ride). Rogers? Ill. Froome? Ill. Lofkvist? Ill. Nordhaug? Not raced in ages.

Working on TT does suggest this is a target for Nordhaug.

Plus Thomas, Swifty and Kennaugh out of action because of this track malarkey. Really could have done with a bigger squad this year.

everyone in sky works on their itt, that is nothing special. it's a need to be selected for a gt in the team.

They have cut down their race programme a bit this year to allow for the smaller squad (28 compared to 30 in 2011) and for the three guys preparing for the Olympics. They should have been fine but they've just suffered a few too many injuries (Barry, Dowsett, Flecha) and illnesses (numerous).

I read a report that Henao was having trouble getting a Visa but I'm not sure if it's accurate.

Yes I know, but it might be different for a race in France?

this is eu rules I assume. he has no visa issues now. he had them in december which is why he couldn't attend trainingcamp of sky.
