If, and a big if Merlier goes to Quick-Step, could he replace him at Alpecin? Though they already have sprinters like Philipsen.

He'd have the ready made train, if not the golden ticket to the Tour and the Specialised bike.

Canyon wouldn't let that happen. MVdP is to valuable.

Really can't see that.
EF-Easy Pot needs to figure this out.
If he stays wit the big S: Bora, Cofidis, L39ION

I've counted five countries for Cipollini, but I may have missed one. He's also won two GT stages which started in the Netherlands, but finished somewhere else.

Giro: Italy, Germany, Luxembourg
Tour: France
Vuelta: Spain

Robbie McEwen has six.

Giro: Italy, France, Belgium
Tour: France, Luxembourg, England, Belgium, Germany

Greipel is also on six.

Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy and Belgium.

Contador was a gifted stage to Rujano away of also having won in 6 different countries.

Must be a candidate for shortest ever distance ridden in a MSR

And still one of the hardest and most memorable!

Though he would officially have lost it afterwards anyway.

Also I can't seem to find more than four, which is officially only three.

True, Verbier is the only foreign stage he won.

 

[Netserk]

If you count Bola del Mundo, Nibali is on 5 (plus he won in France in the Giro). Valverde only at 4.

I have France, Italy and Spain, as expected, and then Switzerland (Verbier) and Andorra (Arcalis).

Arcalis?
