Pretty surpricing them not picking Jeandesboz, that showed decent shape in Route du Sud and Vuillermoz is talented but definetly a surpricing pick, and also I would have thought Engoulvent would have gotten a spot instead of someone like Marino. Otherwice it will be interesting if they will ride for Simon or Hivert on the stages that fits both of them, too bad two so similar riders rides on the same team.One Man Grupetto said:
This. The only thing I remember of him in a GT was back in the Tour 2009: he was the last man standing from the break on the stage to Verbier, blown away by Voigt and Cancellara at the bottom of the climb. I think we all remember what happened next and why Spilak isn't relevant to this storyHCl+HN03 said:
For the GC he is their man, but they won't sacrifice the entire team for him. They'll go for stages in the meantime, and I don't think it's as stupid as you make it out to be. Fuglsang is probably the strongest and most confident he has ever been and showed promising stuff in the Dauphiné. I'd be anything but surprised if he makes the top-10 this year.taiwan said:Is Fuglsang outright leader then?
Cheap promise to make for a signature. The only way he wouldn't be a leader at the tour would be if he was way off form, or Nibali was riding. Other than that I'm pretty sure we'd see the situation we are now, somewhat joint leadership. I don't think brajkovic will be a domestique for him unless he's top 5, or brajkovic is out of the top 15-20. So why not?taiwan said:
I would probably put Degenkolb into the last group (select group sprints) as Kittel will likely not make all the "flat" stages.JRanton said:
