Alberto should never be relegated to page 2. Shame on you all.

He looks super skinny. Vamos!

All I see is a dark shadow.

Valgren, Kreuziger, Majka, and Sagan for sure, think Jesper Hansen too. Looked like Kiserlovski and Sergio are at Teide now too. Final spot Tosatto/Benna/Oleg's Russian?

(barring crashes etc)

 

[Valv.Piti]

Please not select Jesper Hansen. Then I'll be told for 3 weeks straight that he followed Aru and Quintana in the Vuelta (for 200 metres....) and how great a climber he is.

Exactly. But black colour makes one lenaer, doesn't it?

 

[LaFlorecita]

I am hoping both Benna and Toso get selected, better ditch Sergio

 

[Jakub]

Well, as I already wrote, please no Jesus (that seems certain) and no Sergio.
Majka, Kreuziger, Sagan, Valgren,
Bennati/Tosatto, Hansen, Kiserlovski/Trofimov ( whoever has az least a bit of form)
Gatto!
Boaro seems also great in Giro, if he recovers and Benna is back in his best form then my wish is

Bertie
Roman
Rafal
Jesper
Valgren
Boaro
Gatto
Sagan
Bennati

Of course Gatto for Bertie to deliver him home when Sagan sprints. To bring Gatto for Sagan would be a mistake. Oscar has shown he ia capable to stay with the best till the end.

 

[peloton]

@Jakub Gatto wouldn't be a bad addition at all. Help Sagan in sprints, he can also handle some climbs too.
Dauphine team will tell a lot

@Valv.Piti Hansen is a good climber, he is at Teide now in the training camp, so surely team thinks he is an option. Shouldn't you be happy another Dane gets there?

Sounds like Alberto might indeed join Etixx. Did Kittel sign a 1 or 2 year contract with them?

 

[sacrifice&hardwork]

I think you're forgetting Bodnar on your list Jakub. He was going to do the Giro but of what happened to him, he should now make the Tour team after recovering.

 

[Red Rick]

Contador and Kittel should work perfectly. You guys remember the time Contador tried to set up Bennati for the sprint at the end of the 2013 Tour and everyone was looking at him like: Dafuq you doing Bertie? Go home, you're drunk Bertie"

[Matteo.]

He already has that MTT in the bag. ( and probably also thi Giro if he was there )

Re:

It's a given he wins the prologue, so the big question is:

What do you think his advantage will be to the 2nd place rider after the prologue?

 

[Miburo]

I'm not calling yet, but it has to be between him and Froome. Any other bet would be ridiculous.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Re:

Betancur?

 

[pablopaul]

Re:

I thought you already had, hence my question.

I am confident as I can be but at the end of the day for all it's prestige the Dauphine is still a warm-up.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I agree it'll be Alberto vs Froome.
Maybe Alberto will be lacking some racing legs but the same should be for Froome. And I don't know if it would have a big influence on such a short effort.

 

[Miburo]

I've never seen Contador this motivated maybe tour "09 but the guy is spamming his instagram with pics like i've never seen him do it.

He's counting the days to the dauphine, he's gonna be really good there imo. Maybe even too good

Impossible. He'll be flying higher than the sky all the way through the Vuelta.

WHY IS HE IN YELLOW!??

 

[Miburo]

He's probably reading my posts on it. Look at him training on that steep hill

[Matteo.]

eheh. He's training to win MTT. But as i said it's in the bag

 

[BlurryVII]

He's gonna hit 'The' Peak at the Tour, can't wait.
