No BMC because they would rather send a strong team to T-A, and they have friends in ASO so it shouldn't be an issue either. Footon can enjoy life on the blacklist.

Bbox Bouygues Telecom
Caisse d’Epargne
Cervelo Test Team

Just to clarify one thing. You typed Maskaant on purpose?
instead of Maaskant.

Go easy, most 15 year old Aussie girls have problems spelling "LOL" and "Let's go shopping", by contrast ACF94 is way above the curve.

BMC isn't among the teams that the ASO selected. An indication regarding Tour wildcards? (Already, they find a spot for the new French squad and the French historically look after their own.)
BMC will hope to get a TA invite, for Italy at about the same time, as Cadel wants to race the Giro this year.

Actually BMC told ASO they would rather send a strong squad to T-A then two squads yo T-A and P-N, so in essence, they did not ask for a wildcard. They do have one ace up their sleeve though, and that ace is John Lelangue, a former ASO employee.

They'll be at the races where they want to be, no problem at all.

They give them laptops and psychobabble, but that may be going a bit too far to meet their needs.

Yeah, you'd think the sougniers might object to giving that particular type of massage.

But that's enough.

Just a little tidbit about training EBH in the cold, here.

It has usually been colder than -10 celcius around Oslo lately, so it makes all the whining from the italians and spaniards seem like... well, whining :)
