Saur - probably Casper, but Julien Simon has a reasonable turn of speed.
Cofidis - Duque and Dumoulin, like always.
Europcar - Arashiro, most likely.
Ag2r - if Lloyd Mondory is riding, him too.
FDJ - Hutarovich.

Casper, Mondory and Hutarovich don't ride TdF!!!
That's the main reason I've asked.

Since FDJ announced their squad today (http://www.roadcycling.co.nz/TourdeFrance/fdjs-tour-de-france-team.html), I think it's safe to assume that Bonnet will be their main man for the sprints. Roux, though, has surprised me a bit with his sprinting abilities this year.

The lineup:

Bonnet, Casar, Delage, Jeanneson, Meersman, Pauriol, Roux, Roy and Vichot.

It'll be interesting to see Meersman on the slighty uphill finishes, and Jeanneson should be able to break away in one or two mountain stages.

To be fair, all of these sprinters (Hutarovich aside) would need to get in a break to have a chance of a top three at the Tour, so it's business as usual for their teams.

As long as every fart coming out of Evans, Gesink or a random Sky rider gets his own thread there should be place for the smaller and lovelier teams, too.

Géne is EUC's sprint option. If he gets into the Top 10 of some stages I would already call it a success.
