It will be ridiculous to see Contador alone every time he'll need a team mate.Miburo said:Wow. Contador's team is ridiculous
91. CONTADOR Alberto
92. ANKER SORENSEN Chris
93. HERNáNDEZ Jesús
94. ROGERS Michael
95. ROCHE Nicolas
96. ZAUGG Oliver
97. KREUZIGER Roman
98. MOREIRA PAULINHO Sergio Miguel
Those are pretty much all his potential teammates for the climbs in the tour. I guess basque will be a good test.
Wow Teide is a thing now. I wish I could afford a trip therecineteq said:Purito is skipping this race, he'll rest a bit, then Teide before The Ardennes.
Porte has a good race at San Sebastián in his palmarès, but really the strade bianche stage of the Giro back then (where he was nearly 2 minutes down, by the way) is no more appropriate for predicting how he will do on the climbs of País Vasco than a long, gradual climb like Lure is.Miburo said:But wasn't Porte good in stages like that? Take that stage in the giro that Evans won.
Besides what did you think porte was gonna do in paris-nice? I'm assuming you didn't think he was gonna be this dominant. Sky can really surprise you, even now
Movistar will likely support Intxausti here now.jens_attacks said:juanjo will win this bike race. it's his time now

Cimber said:Indeed, though several of them are not in super form atm. Zaugg is stil recovering after an injuri, Rogers is maybe at 90%, Roche doesnt seem super at the moment either, CAS is still building his form and might also be at 85-90%. Kreuziger was good in TA tho and might be the last dude at AC's side.

I'm tented to post a poll Henao vs. Porte: Who was the better U23 talent? Take a wild guess who'd win it?Dazed and Confused said:Porte is currently at a much higher level than what Henao will ever be. And Porte is getting ambitious. Can't see Porte working for Henao at this time, but we will see.
