Jayco al-'Ula and its GreenEdge predecessors

Matt White, Caleb Ewan. What is going on in Australian?

Got some info yesterday, there is likely to be a surprise selection in the Jayco Alula TDF squad. Not that I was aware that Bling Matthews is off the bike indefinitely with a pulmonary embolism. I suspect Plapp will join the squad.

Not 100% sure, but I think Plapp headed back to Australia after the Giro?!

With a broken elbow, Walscheid is likely out of the Tour team as well now. "The chance is very, very slim", he said himself

I still think we're sort a climber in the team. Right now it's Dunbar as the lone support for BOC. Maybe Zana backs up? Or perhaps Hatherly as a very left field option?

They do not need another climber in the team because all O'Connor needs to do is follow. In saying that, Plapp is at altitude and will ride the TDF. The likely team is O'Connor, Dunbar, Plapp, Schmid, Groenewegen, Mezgec, Durbridge . Last spot from Reinders or Foldager. I would leave Durbridge out and include Foldager and Reinders. jayco has no reason to ride at the front, so Durbridge is not needed. They have O'Connor to ride GC, Groenewegen for the sprints, Schmid and Plapp to stage hunt.

What did Chris Juul do wrong to not even be considered this year after six consecutive participations?

He is on the PCS list for the TDF. I'd take Juul-Jensen before Durbridge, however, I am not convinced this style of rider is needed at the TDF.

Please no Reinders, the guy is a continental rider at max. Choose Walscheid so if Groenewegen gets lost again he could sprint top 5.

Walscheid is injured, as mentioned above.

Please no Reinders

The guy was pretty good for AC Milan, I think he deserves a chance
