hmmm Boris Johnson i would worry about him somehow managing to tackle Stephen Hawking.....

The plan would be to use Johnson and Aldrin early on , getting water bottles, riding in the wind etc .
Save Hawking for later ,like Wheel of gear said , Hawking is a puncheur and can be used to chase down any attacks along with Lawson for support.

Bradley Wiggins
Christopher Froome
Lance Armstrong
Christopher Horner
Cadel Evans
Rafal Majka
Mikel Landa
Vincenzo Nibali
Alejandro Valverde

coached by Johann Bruynell

Froome races with head towards back, making dawg faces on Wiggo. Horner is chasing them back for LA. Landa is waiting for Nibali, which is holding onto the team car. Bruynell says: Rafal, don't attack, but Majka's radio is broken. Cadel Evans screams "don't touch me" on everyone around him and cries that he has no support from the team, Valverde had unfortunately no legs to follow Rui Costa which wins the Tour easily.
Horner to give an inteview: it's all because of Alberto, because he didn't follow the team orders to wait for Lance in 2009 and since that LA has had a time gap.

OMG!!! You selected an entire team from grand tours without a single ONE representing the GIRO!

Forum collectively sharpens its Muhammad depicting pencil :D
 
Tony Martin, Tom Dumoulin, Michael Kwiatkowski, Peter Sagan, Vasil Kyrienka, Geraint Thomas, Ian Stannard, Alexander Kristoff, Carlos Betancur

this team will specialize in stage wins, breakaways, and mercenary style cooperation with GC favorites for the sake of camera time and controversy
