Who replaces Pidcock?It got confirmed that team UAE can start.
Pidcock won't start after all. Crash in FW is bothering him.

On PCS Dunbar got added to the startlist, after he got replaced by Golas yesterday. But not sure that's official.Who replaces Pidcock?
Good tactics. But then you probably still need an xyz rider to atack on La Redoute.I'm really not big on xyz rider should move on La Redoute. It's not like potential riders haven't gone there and given any indication it could work.
Here's an if you have a strong team. Put one or two pure domestiques in the breakaway. Then take your remaining domestiques, presumably 2 or 3 riders, and *** drill it in the run in to the Stockeau, then you go hard on the Stockeau and split the peloton and get a big numerical advantage in that split.
He's been fully programmed and successfully converted to train fodder nowWeird that De Plus is not on the startlist. This was one of the few races he wanted to race in a free roll when he signed for Ineos.

We need pizza ratings for the giroIs this gonna be your Thing? Rating riders with watermelons.
Ineos not bringing Moscon is a bit meh. Yes, they have multiple options, but the guy is in great shape, can handle the distance and has the engine for a long range attack.
With him and Ganna alone they can probably win at least 5 stages at the Giro, if their GT riders flop.Just wierd. One of your most ahem, agressive and attacking riders, in superb form, is dropped in favour of Golas. Stinks of Ineos caution and disregard for one day races. Presumably they're protecting Moscon so he can tool pointlessly round Italy for three weeks in the Giro
