If your times are correct, the only active one is Quintana. It shows how bad it used to be. But fear no more. We'll see new times this year!!!!

I want to see a sprint up the first ramp!!!
I clicked and watched some of the video because why not and around 7:43 it's Davide Rebellin for FDJ, think the only time he ever raced TDF.

Jai Hindley coming for yet another GT win.
No Schahmann, who was out of the nationals already with Covid.

Also, NO VLASOV! Frickin, he was a sure contented for the podium! He was out of Tour de Suisse with Covid.

Damn, thats a B-team at best...

No Vlasov, no Konrad, no Politt, no Schachmann - they were all set to ride and had the TdF as their main targets. Bummer for Bora...

Ok, edit: the account is for sure not real and posts quits some garbage. So lets hope for the best.

That is at least in part because the current George Bennett is not remotely the same class of rider as in 2017-2019
Bennett has been sick on and off through the pre season and spring but is saying he's starting to feel good again, so let's see

What the f***. That's a mess. Vlasov was definitely a podium contender. And why not take Kämna? He seems in great form.

Edit: Ah, okay.... just read the posts before... if you don't read every single post here... :tearsofjoy:

Yeah, but why is Gradek next in line?

He should be like the 20th pick if measured by quality.
Who could they take instead? Pernsteiner is like too tiny for the TOURDEFRANCE, Buitrago among others already did the Giro, Govekar, Zambanini, Maciejuk and Price-Pejtersen are neopros, Milan basically also.

So Williams was the only other option. I would have picked Gradek too to help protect the leaders in the first week.
