I didn't even look at the stages....but I now see the TT on Stage 4. Not sure who would be the strongest TT'er in this team but I think they will be looking more at grabbing a stage win or two. As you say Albasini may try and get away, plus Davis and Cooke get over the hills pretty well for any sprint finishes.
It is great to see Langeveld back after his re-entry through Tour of Norway and we haven't seen Albasini or Mouris for a fair time period now.
I tried to scroll back and pick up the early predictions for the TdF team (was it Ferminal who entered them?) as it is getting very interesting now. If you consider that Goss and Lancaster have two spots in the team, that will leave 7 positions. Will they take a specialist time trialler like Durbridge?
Impey....great form and worked well with Lancaster (has stayed in the Giro though)
O'Grady...would think he is a sure thing
Gerrans...ditto
Albasini....great spring form
Langeveld..recovered from injury?
Davis....experienced and also in great spring form. Can get over the medium hills well
Clarke...racing very consistently
Leaves out Weening, Meyer (best two in the mountains), Tuft (TT and lead out), Vaitkus, Cooke
Would this provide the best possible lead out for Goss? How well will the TdF suit Gerrans? No-one in that team to race out TT's, maybe Durbridge for Clarke or Langeveld?
