Gilbert at the Tour?

[Winterfold]

Anyone heard if he is going?

There are a couple of stages which look ideal for him, especially with no Valverde.

EDIT I read the articles mid-end May which said No for sure, but then saw a few things which made me think it might be back on again - but that could be down to print lead times.

 

[Liquigas]

He's not in Omega Lotto list, he prefers to do La Vuelta to prepare the world champs

 

[tgsgirl]

He's not going because he doesn't want to go. He likes the autumn/fall season.

 

[Winterfold]

fair do's I was just thinking it would be nice to see a rider I actually like win Stage 4 or the one that finishes on Mende

 

[tgsgirl]

He can't be the only one you like, right? And you'll be doubly pleased when he wins the worlds

 

[Winterfold]

Stage 4?! - I meant Stage 2 - the LBL one anyway

I guess Cuddles could win them, who I kind of like these days - what I meant was really actually genuinely 'take home to your mum' like, rather than like, but know that deep down that they are very bad boys eg Vino, Valverde

Obviously there will always be Wiggo - but he isnt winning on the Mende
