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.

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.

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.

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

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


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

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.

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.

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.

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
