Tour de France 2022 Tour de France Start List

[Ricco']

I believe a team can only have an alternative jersey once a year (whether that be for 1 day or 21, or anywhere inbetween): they have already done their swap for this year.

Alpecin will also have a new jersey after having swapped for the Giro but since they are changing sponsors, maybe they will be allowed an exception.

Here's Movistar:

With their lineup for the Giro Donne as an added bonus.

Mas is healed then, nice.

The decision to take Philipsen to the Tour and not Merlier was made before the season. Absolutely nothing to do with Merlier going to QS. Or well it might have had an effect on Merliers decision to leave but not the other way around.

But there was no chance of Alpecin changing their mind.

Tim Declercq out due to positive corona test.

Normally Cav is substitute for Jakobsen and Sénéchal for anyone else in the selection but given the specific profile of Declercq it might still be Cavagna as replacement.

Anyway, the breakaway specialists just got a little happier.

Sénéchal replaces Declercq after all.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Wonder how many changes will be made during the day.
Crossing fingers the ones with the covid have not passed it around in their teams at least.
But what a bummer.

one step closer ... #cavtothetour

this is all part of the plan right? its the perfect drama for Netflix

Sénéchal replaces Declercq after all.

Meanwhile Alaphillipe and Cavendish reading the news

I'd have thrown Cav in there. Just let him break the record and go home.

Meanwhile in the news:

Lefevere questions Tim Declercq positive test.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Mas is even bigger then Quintana. Poster vise we are perfect!

 

[tobydawq]

I know arguments can be made about most selections and maybe it's not a good look to single riders out but still Movistar sucks hard for choosing not only Gregor Mühlberger but also Albert Torres over Mathias Norsgaard.

Why would they pick Norsgaard? Apart from him being a big drama queen who always criticises how the team works.

PCS removed Pnot from their start list?

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

There was a fake FDJ twitter account going around, saying Pinot had Covid and got replaced by Armirail, which is not true.

 

[roundabout]

Cool, although confusing. As it seems according to this that an earlier negative test was accepted

It seems the test he did on sunday was negative, but the one yesterday was positve. However, because he was isolated for 7 days, the UCI will let him compete.

Cristian Rodriguez is out, though. He is replaced by Edvald Boasson Hagen, who unfortunately had to cancel his trip to Legoland

Timer etter vrakingen fikk Boasson-Hagen kontrabeskjed: Skal likevel til Tour de France

Bare timer etter at TotalEnergies annonserte Tour de France-laget uten Edvald Boasson-Hagen blant de åtte utvalgte, fikk 35-åringen en telefonsamtale som endret alt.

Legoland is probably a greater experience if you didn't go there five times a year your entire childhood.

Cerny would have been a decent replacement but he doesn't seem to be fit after his Dauphine DNF and a slow ride in the Czech ITT.

Tim Declercq out due to positive corona test.

How very sad. He already suffered myocarditis from his first covid infection

 

[Wvv]

Wanty's team makes no sense

Leaving Hermans out is ridiculous. The management punishes him for not extending his contract. Even the directeurs sportifs didn't know about this decision.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Their Giro-swap was mandatory because of their pink kit.

Lots of teams with mainly red jerseys do the Vuelta, and Junmbo ride lots of other races where the leader's jersey is red.

But even if the Giro organisers insisted, that should only be an excuse once: there is no rule that they have to have pink. So if they chose pink as their main colour, they were choosing that the Giro would be their one alternative jersey for the year if I were in charge anyway.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Why would they pick Norsgaard? Apart from him being a big drama queen who always criticises how the team works.

Can you give examples? Havent really been up to date apart from the interview he gave in Aalborg to feltet.dk.

Anyways kinda hoped Oliveira getting Covid meant Norsgaard in, but ohwell
