^^^ shows how wrong the squads on the first page are.

No Stuyven or Schleck for Trek.

Nieve won't go for Sky.

Odd mixture of riders past their prime (Zubeldia, Cancellara, Devolder), work horses (Irizar, Rast, Didier), up and coming riders (Arredondo, Jungels), and Mollema. That guy's gotta be kicking himself by now

He had a prime? The last decade (post-Mayo) he has been pretty much at the same level. Only good in the Tour and no stage wins.

24 GTs without a stage win. Maybe he'll get one in his 25th.
Go Zubeldia!!!!

I hope so! His only victory is a prologue ( ) in 2010 which he won in the same time as the second and third.

Tinkoff - Saxo
CONTADOR Alberto
SAGAN Peter
ROGERS Michael
MAJKA Rafał
KIšERLOVSKI Robert
BENNATI Daniele
BASSO Ivan
KREUZIGER Roman
MCCARTHY Jay

Now that's an interesting move. The boy can lead-out Sagan, climb well and could be a great dom on the flat.

He won TTT on the Tour in 2009!

Not yet. But according to PCS.

 

[jens_attacks]

according to pcs lol

you might as well quote me. i think riis and tinkoff will be both riders in this tdf. cenghialta maybe too.

I could see it happening, the first 8 are like 99% sure. McCarthy would be an interesting choice but definitely not a bad one.

Valgren for Basso and its my nr 1 choice! (considering the current situation going on with bodnar etc.)

Edit: If not Valgren then Tosatto/mørkøv

Roster:
Damiano Caruso (ITA), Rohan Dennis (AUS), Daniel Oss (ITA), Manuel Quinziato (ITA), Samuel Sánchez (ESP), Michael Schär (SUI), Greg Van Avermaet (BEL), Tejay van Garderen (USA), Danilo Wyss (SUI).

 

[Escarabajo]

Updated Trek and BMC.

So no Paulinho for Tinkoff at the Tour...Well, he did do the Giro (first time AFAIK). But it'll be weird not seeing him with Contador this time around. Next thing you know they'll take our Zubeldia too.

Never understood why Contador still wanted him by his side after 2009.

Sweet, hope it's true. He's having a good year so far and can help Contador in the hilly stages and Sagan on the flat. It will also be great to see a local boy ride the Tour.

 

[Velolover2]

McCarthy has been removed again.

But if they want to win, I'd definitely let him be on the team. He has done good this year.

 

[pastronef]

Danielson does not ride. he's back in US and will start Utah and Colorado. via his twitter

Wouldn't be surprised at all if they removed him after seeing this discussion
