If you were Vaughters, who would ride P-R?

[Rocksteady]

Garmin will have lots of good classics riders this year. If you were Vaughters (assuming all in form/healthy) who would be your ideal team?

 

[Moondance]

Lets see... Hushovd to captain, with Haussler & Vansummeren as wild-cards and Klier, Hammond, Maaskant, Millar, and Rasch as workers.

 

[William H]

I don't think Millar will be riding P-R again.

 

[blackcat]

agree

Farrar has not shown 260km legs yet, nor BigBird.

 

[luckyboy]

Voted Lancaster instead of Millar by accident.

 

[Kvinto]

I think: Hushovd, Haussler, Hammond, Klier, Maaskant, Vansummeren, Rasch, Millar. Unfortunately without Sep Vanmarcke

 

[Cobblestones]

It takes serious spine to do well at PR. I'd go for Thor.

 

[Rocksteady]

I think: Hushovd, Haussler, Hammond, Klier, Maaskant, Vansummeren, Rasch, Millar. Unfortunately without Sep Vanmarcke

Vanmarcke is way to young for P-R with this kind of squad. It will be a learning year for him. I expect good things in the future though..

 

[tubularglue]

their horsepower is a little out of hand, no ?

cobblestones for breakfast

 

[El Pistolero]

Only Hushovd has a realistic chance of winning it, so Hushovd as captain. And well, the rest as domestiques. If captain crashes, try Van Summeren or Klier or something.

I don't follow Haussler, so don't know that much about him.

 

[ingsve]

Hushovd for sure. Behind him is Hammond and Haussler perhaps also in slightly protected roles and the rest as domestiques. I took Lloyd or Rasch instead of Millar because I think Millar has other races he could be doing rather than helping a team of this strength in the cobbles.

Erm pick eight when there are only 9 options (plus others)...

I go everyone except Farrar.

 

[Parrulo]

i picked every1 cept lancaster iirc(voted a few hours ago).

but no matter what you chose from those 9 guys it seems about right.(keeping the leaders ofc ) a really strong team.

Its more of a "who gets left out" poll. I want to know why some left Hushovd out??

 

[Ferminal]

Left Farrar/Lancaster out.

 

[ansimi]

I'd let Hushovd choose his own team for that one.

They will have a very, very strong P-R team. I've said it before, if Haussler gets back to 2009 form he'll win some big races.

If he's competitive at Qatar, he'll win either Flanders or Roubaix.

Go Heinrich. All arounder,powerful and a real guy, like Zabel and Cav. I hope he overcomes his obstacles, which are major, and takes his rightful place as a champion.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

depends on form i guess...
but that aside I'd have the list -lancaster.

they do have a great team. Hushovd FTW.
