Tossato is old... i want a team for the mountains, so my team is: contador (leader), majka, kreuziger, kiserlovski, hansen and trufimov (moutains), sagan as a DOMESTIQUE for flat and hilly stages, valgren and paulinho the same

Sagan will win stage 2 so his tour is almost done (who cares about green jersey) and he should focus on helping contador
Sagan doing well here (winning a few stages and taking green) is probably worth almost as much as Contador winning the Tour, so Sagan should definitely have a free role. That said, he can obviously still help Contador.

For me a polka dot jersey is more important than a green jersey. We like offensive riders, we like attacks, no one cares about sprints...
For you perhaps.
99% of spectators see cycling because of mountain stages...(i'm talking about gt's, of course cobble classics are very entertaining)

Yeah, it's so important that fricking Charteau was able to win it in 2010. Froome won it last year by accident, without giving a single **** about it. Great prize for sure... Green jersey is ten times as prestigious.
