Hi guys, who do you think will be the 9 Columbia riders for the TDF?

Last year it was:

Kim Kirchen
Marcus Burghardt
Mark Cavendish
Gerald Ciolek
Bernhard Eisel
Adam Hansen
George hincapie
Thomas Lovkvist
Kanstantsin Siutsou

Any suggestions for this tour?? :confused:

Not the team i'd have picked, I probably expected too much of the young guys, but still a great team. Obviously not supporting too strongly for the highest possible GC. I'd say shooting for 6 stage wins and one rider inside the top 10, modest ambitions :p

Hey guys, the official start list has not been released yet. Hopefully it will be announced later today. I was more asking who you guys thought would be in the top 9? Any thoughts?
