LaFlorecita said:Rory instead of Michael.
Nilsson said:I like Rory, but Morkov will be an important rider.
If only Bertie would allow to replace Jesus and Paulinho, who haven't performed this year and are kind of in decline for a while now, it would create more options. Maybe Oleg can bring/force some 'enlightment', because Bjarne clearly can't (even chubby Benjamin was a certainty).
Jesus can be an awesome roomie without actually taking part in the race, right? Let him do his thing outside of the race and, for instance, the recon in front of the race each day and brief Alberto, who he knows by heart, what the gameplan is.
Jelantik said:I don't know if everyone notice. Looks like, the rest of TS boys start producing good results starting this second part of the season.
LaFlorecita said:With Tosatto, Bennati and Breschel they'd have 3 flat domestiques, 2 allround with Sutherland and Rogers, and three climbers (Kreuziger, Hernandez and Paulinho). 4 flat doms seems a bit of an overkill. I'd prefer another allrounder like Sutherland.
Paulinho and especially Hernandez are vital for Contador feeling well. Besides that, Paulinho was a beast at la Vuelta 2012 during the Fuente De stage, and as someone on Velorooms pointed out to me, Hernandez is a great climber and actually finished together with Kreuziger (top 10) on the last MTF of last year's Tour.
Netserk said:So Paulinho is a climber, while Rogers is an all-rounder?
Imo so far the most likely riders to participate ranked:
Contador
Kreuziger
Rogers
Roche
Bennati
Tosatto
Hernandez
Paulinho
Moerkoev
Breschel
Sutherland
Soerensen

Looks like you are forgetting Kreuziger. He seems to understand the need of earning points and is decent as ever.murali said:I think saxo guys were relying too much on the points earned by AC earlier. It was as if AC was carrying the entire weight of team on his shoulders.

LaFlorecita said:Uhm yes. Rogers is way more useful on the flat than Paulinho. That I ranked him as allround and Paulinho as a climber doesn't mean I think Paulinho is a better climber.

Innovation looks cool! @albertocontador in his new @sportful aero suit during the TT in #Dauphin
For a guy that stood against Armstrong bullying Michelle Cound's twitts are peanuts. Why would he care? He isn't a youngster anymore that needs to prove himself. I wonder if he stills talks as nice to Froome now that book is out....LaFlorecita said:Cool interview

"What do you think about Michelle Cound's tweets?"
"They don't deserve any kind of comment".
