I'm so confused cause if true that means Lotto will be with 8 in Australia given Fox and Thompson are already on the continent. It's possible Van Eetvelt is not riding Evans, but even then, are you really sending someone else on vacation there for 2 weeks?
Veirstoffer will start Oman and Almeria as well, so I guess it could make sense to leave Australia early. He posted a reel from the airport, but hard to say if Zimmermann is on there or not. Those closer to the desk seem to be Taco, Rutsch, LvE and Taminiaux.

One interesting bit from the presentation yesterday was that the team will do more races in France now, by the way, according to Bouet.

Yeah I saw that, we'll have to wait and see I guess. Bit weird

And yes, they'll do more Coupe de France races given Intermarché is a main sponsor now. They'll do it with a mix of Taminiaux, some young guys (Grisel, Kristoff, etc.) and some devo's.

LVE way too much, don't expect much during Giro if he's racing so much and will be burned out before TDF starts.
It's really not too much, that prep for the giro would be considered a low number of race days 10-15 years ago.

If he skips cadel race it's 3 weeks from TDU to uae tour, enough time for a training camp, and then between tirreno and Ardennes is a long period away from racing

We’ll see if he fades in the third week of the Giro

Even if he does it doesn't mean you're right yk. Could be plenty of other reasons for fading in the 3rd week, one being the fact that he's never been good for 3 weeks straight in a GT, hell he only finished one (his first one where he got sick mid GT),
