but I would still go with Saxo - Rogers switching to Saxo will have a huge impact on the Tour and any other Froome vs Contador stage races this year IMO
Froome19 said:You would be surprised as to how much a well drilled squad matters when racing a TTT. Rather than the actual squad. See BMC in the 2011 Tour. Of course the talent of the squad matters but not as much as you would think. Froome, Knees, Kennaugh and Cataldo is good enough to be a match for Rogers, Boaro, Bennati and Contador. Saxo probably just eek it out, but if that was all there was to TTT then it would be a boring affair.

Pretty even to be honest for the TTT, doubt there'll be more than 10-15 seconds either way.
On Tivo they'll need their trainAfrank said:I give Saxo the edge for the TTT. Sky could have used a few more TT or flat land domestique types, rather than so many climbers.
