No mather where they are training or what happend with their hotels and stayings, as a big fan of Contador, I'm aware of the fact that froome and the sky team will be in very good form...
I hope the best for Alberto and whish him all the luck he might need, but it ain't over untill the fat lady sings!!!
Just mentioning this so (at least me) would not be so disappointed when that alien put some crazy effort on the first mountaintop finish. Which i do not hope for...
AC for the win

Yes Carol, I heard you the first time too, but really...if the subject has any impact or relevance to Berto or the team, -or the tour, well then I will post it.
It´s not that its page up and page down with Sky or other teams, it was just relevant. ;)

Doesnt matter if they will be in 'very good form'...if Alberto is back to his A game nobody from his generation can beat him.And I said NOBODY.:D

And as a fan of cycling and AC fanboy I dearly hope that everybody,even that freakin brit will be on topform comes July.

+1. Alberto is on his way to a great form than last year. So whatever is going down in TDF, for sure, we are going to have a proper battle. So buckle up and save your popcorn for July. :D

I think

Leader: Contador
Superdomestique/Co-leader: Kreuziger
Mountain domestiques: Roche, Hernandez, Paulinho, Sutherland/Rogers
Flat/Cobble guys: Tosatto, Bennati, Mørkøv/Breschel/Sørensen

I think you've pretty much nailed it. I think it will come down to who is health out of Bennati, Morkov, Breschel and Sorenson. I'd be really disappointed for Sutherland if he doesn't get the nod (barring injury). He's ridden very well for the first half of the year.

Completely agree re Sutherland. He also seems to be Mick's replacement. Big guy, good to keep Contador out of the wind and can also keep the pace high in the mountains.
