Quite certain that these nine will make the Sky team if they are not injured or ill start of July!
Disagree, they have no rouleurs who will sit on the front all day.
They will take 2, either Knees, Zandio, Pate or Eisel

I'm quite certain EBH won't start, he was climbing like **** in Route du Sud and seems to have no motivation anymore.vladimir said:This!

Word on the street is that Eisel and Knees weren't impressed with Froome's ''antics'' in the 2012 Tour and they let him know about it.

Highly unlikely that he will ride the Tour as it seems, but we will probably know more in a few hours.

Yes, it's his achilles again. Last time he had the same injury he was out for 4 months. His season might be over, maybe even his career as he'll struggle to even find a team now.del1962 said:EBH - out of TDF with injury

argyllflyer said:Word on the street is Froome wanted as few of Wiggins' men as possible on his team for 2013.
It's a 2-way street!
elfed68 said:This suggests that SDB isn't really in control of team selection and seems Froome's got him by the balls.
SDB should have stamped his authority on this a long time ago!

Don't be so pessimistic, he would get a team even if he raced until the end of the season without results. He's a huge talent and lot of teams will want him to put him back on his true level.maltiv said:Yes, it's his achilles again. Last time he had the same injury he was out for 4 months.
