Surprised QS left Seneschal out. Knew Ala and Cav weren't going in but French national champion at the Tour and leaving out just doesn't make sense.
Senechal always gets the short end of the stick

I was worried for a moment that Pogacar was not going to make the cut. Puff!!! what a relief!
But Remco wasn't in the plans anyway!!!
Well, that's gonna be a packed Vuelta line-up then, picking up guys that were scheduled to go to the Giro and Tour but got sick or injured.Sporza reporting:
Andrea Bagioli (Ita) Kasper Asgreen (Den) Mattia Cattaneo (Ita) Mikkel Honoré (Den) Tim Declercq Yves Lampaert Fabio Jakobsen (Ned) Michael Morkov (Den)
Who's reaction?But Remco wasn't in the plans anyway!!!
I don't understand his reaction. I was hoping that they would take him too but that was not a realistic expectation for him this year. So I am a bit confused.
Regardless, if he's not close to his best shape or didn't feel great yesterday, no point in just riding around France for 3 weeks. Sounds like more structured training is in order.
What do you mean? Remco!Well, that's gonna be a packed Vuelta line-up then, picking up guys that were scheduled to go to the Giro and Tour but got sick or injured.

That's very much not what Evenepoel is saying in that tweet...What do you mean? Remco!
He was expecting to be selected which is very confusing. He never was in the plans.

That's certainly what I thought. He's been gearing everything towards the Vuelta all year.Huh? I think that might be about trying to make a difference in the Nationals.
Ok thanks. So it was all trolling from dercuforeverHuh? I think that might be about trying to make a difference in the Nationals.
Bit surprised they took 3 guys mainly for the flat in Bjerg, Trentin and Laengen, and Bennett who's just been out of form. I doubt it'll matter since it's Pog, he'd challenge even if he had 7 of us as a teammate but definitely not the strongest choice for them. If they're avoiding Almeida and Formolo after the Giro, should have gone Hirschi and Polanc over Bjerg and Bennett.

Either that or he got the threads completely mixed up.
Florian Sénéchal: "I heard the news on Friday. I had hoped that being champion of France would change the situation... The team informed me that they wanted to put Danes for the big start at Copenhagen to give a good image."

I can definitely understand if he finds that unfair - not that the quote indicates to me that he does: Three anonymously clad Danes for three days in Denmark, vs. being the French Champion for (almost) three weeks in France.
