Good to hear! One of the most versatile men in the peloton.Moviestar said:Castro finally back in competition at the Tour du Suisse, some good news.
anacona has been certain of his spot this entire year. he will 100% do the tour. he's also quintana's best helper as was seen during last years tourMoviestar said:Dowsett is currently in the Pyrenees, could be in the selection. Untill now Anacona hasn't shown anything yet this season, he will have to work hard to earn his spot.Valv.Piti said:Quintana

That would be the strongest team with Malori out IMO. The only ones I could see being replaced would be J. Herrada and Rojas (due to Giro) by Dowsett and Oliveira. Amador could potentially do the Tour, he is a diesel and a very good rouleur, but I doubt it. Izagirre could do it, but I find it unlikely since it seems he is scheduled to get a big role in the Vuelta.
just as I thoight ion izagirre and no amador here. only oliveira won't make it from this selectionMoviestar said:The team has confirmed it's pre-Tour list, with the additions of Dowsett, Oliveira and (surprisingly) Ion.

Damn, I really hoped for Oliveira! Nice one.Ryo Hazuki said:my bad I also mean no dowsett and ventoso. what a team!
Why did you think so regarding Ion?

They have, Ion probably has as well, they wouldn't have included him on that list if they didn't. Who knows whether he preferred Spain or France, or both, but the Vuelta with this route will just be so much better.Escarabajo said:Ion is a stud. With a tired Valverde he could be the only one, maybe Anacona as well, that can be very close to Quintana in the mountains. So maybe, just maybe, Movistar is having second thoughts.
Apparently, Ion could be vital if Nairo really gets to wear yellow before Morzine.Escarabajo said:Ion is a stud. With a tired Valverde he could be the only one, maybe Anacona as well, that can be very close to Quintana in the mountains. So maybe, just maybe, Movistar is having second thoughts.
