Provisional TDF Teams

Isn't Niermann good friends with Gesink? If so, he'll be in IMO.

It is such a tough choice tho. Tjallingi is a very underrated and useful rider.
Niermann is mighty useful also.
I really wish Mollema wouldn't ride the tour this year, but whatever.
Anyway I have doubts we'll see Matti at the tour.

Yes he is.

I think Lotto has a killer team for this year's TDF.

It will be fun to see how they will play out the Gilbert, Greipel and VDB card. I can see Gilbert helping both Greipel on the flat and VDB on the climbs.

LLS, Boom, Tjallingi, Niermann should prove pretty useful in the TT also

Barredo should be there... He is a decent TTer

I bolded what I agree with
However, If - BIG IF - Matti get's fit I can't imagine him not being in the squad. I suspect Tjallingi or Niermann would make way...

Some epic support for gesink right there.

Looking at that team, I might change my bet about BMC beating Rabo in the ttt. Rabobank look very strong for the ttt.

There's still time to make that bet for todays ttt

I think BMC will beat them in the TA ttt but ttt's in general are quite unpredictable.

In 2009 they had Menchov, Flecha, Clement, Posthuma... yet they completely sucked in the TTT (also due to good ole' Menchov crashing in the first corner). So you just never know.

2009 was just a disaster for Rabo.

haha it was. What an epic season of fail
-minus giro of course. Tho Horrillo's crash was a horrible thing.

@ Rya
Barredo isn't bad at TT I agree, but I can't say it is a travesty I left him out
