Are a lot of sprinters going for stage wins early and then abandoning for Olympics. Do we have any knowledge on who is going to for sure? Tough to pick for fantasy when your guys might be leaving early.

It's not certain but Cavendish will probably not finish this year. He might still get a stage though...

+1

He even said that his priority is OL. But I still think he might get 1 win or so.
