he had good talks with Prudhomme?
They better invite Lotto if they don't get a WT license. No way Greenedge should be in the Tour...

(Then again they were only Pro Conti)
Maybe, but too many sprinters, not enough engine room. Especially for a shot at Maillot Vert.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:meh. If it weren't for goss I'd probably support his claim.

Depends. Goss vs. Greipel, personally I'd invite Goss.El Pistolero said:They better invite Lotto if they don't get a WT license. No way Greenedge should be in the Tour...

auscyclefan94 said:Again your reading skills let you down. With guys like Evans and Morabito or Evans on his own is a team good for gc at races. Then you have Ballan, Hincapie, Burghardt, etc which are clearly greater than Langeveld (atm), O'Grady & the rest of their classics team. I didn't say they had a great sprints team. They have Goss who is a quality sprinter but I still don't think he is up there with Farrar, Greipel, Cav or Kittel in speed. Goss is clearly their best sprinter in a stacked sprinter team then you will struggle as a team. It is obvious that GE will get more wins next year than BMC did last year but that is because the type of teams they are different.
auscyclefan94 said:They at least had guys who could ride for classification in stage races and had a very good classics team. GreenEdge has many sprinters but that is it.
theyoungest said:Depends. Goss vs. Greipel, personally I'd invite Goss.
Neither of the teams has a guy who can play a role on GC in this Tour. Both teams have some reasonably apt stage hunters.
Timmy-loves-Rabo said:It was really evans + cobbles support with no leader.
ingsve said:Ehm, Ballan? If he's not a cobbles leader then I don't know what you want in a leader. He was 4th in MSR, 12th in RVV (in the final break) and 6th in Roubaix.
