Its the way Zubeldia would have wanted it. Sneaking in through the back door at the last minute.

Exactly, he's really stepped up his game this year.

 

[Laplaz]

Zubeldia will be happy

 

[GraftPunk]

Bennati
Jesus Herrada
Castro
Amador

I thought Ruben Fernandez is the one to miss out. Not followed his progress this year but last year he was quite good. Dont know whats the thinking there.

Valverde apparently wants a fresh Fernandez, Dani Moreno and Soler for his Vuelta assault. He was promised a good team for the Vuelta, anyway.

In return, he'll be Quintana's super dom here. At least, that's the plan.

Makes sense now

I hope petit gets a chance to sprint.

Re:

Going by the form book, he's the best bet for DE. But I think Boudat is normally faster.

Who do you think will do the sprints (if anyone) for these teams: AG2R, Movistar, Astana, Orica, Cannondale and Wanty?
