Except he is actually quite decent. He should be in the team on his climbing alone.

Netserk said:I really don't understand what Gilbert is doing there
BMC probably had no choice to select Gilbert as he wears the rainbow but on a good day he can race. However, I doubt Evans will allow him to do anything.roundabout said:BMC
Brent Bookwalter (USA), Marcus Burghardt (GER), Cadel Evans (AUS), Philippe Gilbert (BEL), Amaël Moinard (FRA), Steve Morabito (SUI), Manuel Quinziato (ITA), Michael Schär (SUI), Tejay van Garderen (USA).

Looks like the 'BMC in Disarray' thread will be active again then in a few days, just in time for the tour.acesand said:Hushovd just interviewed on Norwegian TV about BMC selection for TDF. Said that he knew if he was going or not, but did not look happy. Also stated that (paraphrasing): "There is alot going on internally at BMC team, there will be a press release in a couple of days."

movingtarget said:You watch, Gilbert will look good in the Vuelta just in time for the Worlds and do nothing in the Tour like last year. I would have preferred GVA to have gone. A great team man and could not even make the squad.

They should have kept Santambrogio, Evans' most trusted domestiquemovingtarget said:Santaromita would have been better than Frank but he rode the Giro. Evans wanted him in the team but they must be worried about fatigue. Frank is probably being saved for the Vuelta or maybe same as Santa. He rode the TOC and the TDS. He went pretty deep in the TDS and he is only young. Not such a bad thing for the team to be cautious with their best young riders. They will need them when Hushovd, Evans and others retire later on. It's about the best team BMC could have selected except for Gilbert. Very experienced and some great domestiques. They never had the climbing talent to select, anyway, apart from the two leaders.
