Team Rosters for the Tour de France

[craig1985]

Funnily enough I saw on the Astana website that they are selling TdF themed T-shirts. I guess they have to pay the wages somehow.

Just waiting on BBox Bouygues, Skil, AG2r, Quick Step, Lampre, and fdj.com to sort out the last spot. I hope it goes to Jeremy Roy.

But having having seen Lampre's line-up, I don't know how they did get a invite from ASO or Lampre bother with the Tour. Cunego and Ballan are really their two main riders that can hope to do something, and Cunego is not riding. And Furlan and Lorenzetto have got nothing against the likes of Cavendish, Friere, and Boonen (if he is allowed to start). I would have dropped Lampre and given it to a team like BMC. ASO clearly rates them (like a Roubaix wildcard and the amount of bike races they are now doing) and they wouldn't be boring either, as I can see the main instruction would be, "if a break goes, make sure we have a man in it". I have no idea what Lampre are trying to do or are there for. I guess the Tour isn't that important (or Cunego would of been made to ride) to them, so they should of opted out and made a put a team that would relish being there.

Who said the new site was easier to navigate...

 

[karlboss]

Is it so hard to have a page with start list and update as more riders are confirmed? lucybears, thank you for keeping me up to date with most of these lists

 

[craig1985]

Bala Verde, you have a legend with this as well. It proves that I have way too much spare time if I can almost predict some teams Tour line-ups.

FARIA DA COSTA Rui Alberto (Por)

They're killing him. He's a neo-pro. He shouldn't be racing every single major race from february to july without a rest. This is really bad for his development.

Columbia

mmmm.... - rumours abound, & Burghardt says he DNS - "Ich bin enttäuscht, akzeptiere aber. Es waren sporttaktische Gründe entscheidend",

 

[craig1985]

AG2r:

Roche, Efimkin, Dessel, Spaniard José Luis Arrieta, Italian Rinaldo Nocentini, Frenchmen Hubert Dupont, Stéphane Goubert, Lloyd Mondory and Christophe Riblon are the nine riders. Frenchmen Ludovic Turpin and John Gadret are reserves.

From the home page. Good to see Roche get a gig, of course he will be riding alongside his cousin Dan Martin of Garmin.

[TRDean]

Kinda surprised that Tom Veelers didn't make the squad for Skil....I do think this team will get a stage win however!!

 

[lucybears]

Lampre

change team to
Allesandro Ballan, Marzio Bruseghin, Marco Bandiera, Angelo Furlan, David Loosli, Daniele Righi, Mauro Santambrogio, Marcin Sapa en Simon Spilak.

FdJ definite

Quick Step: Barredo, Chavanel, de Jongh, Devolder, Pineau, Rosseler, Tosatto, vd Walle + either Boonen or Davis

[Connor Pass]

change team to
Allesandro Ballan, Marzio Bruseghin, Marco Bandiera, Angelo Furlan, David Loosli, Daniele Righi, Mauro Santambrogio, Marcin Sapa en Simon Spilak.

Am I right in thinking that change is Furlan for Napolitano?

Maybe Ballan can grab a win but it looks pretty weak team.

Great that Nicolas Roche made the AG2R squad - 2 promising young Irish riders in the Tour not without a chance of a stage win for either.

 

[lucybears]

Am I right in thinking that change is Furlan for Napolitano?

no, previous 9 were
BALLAN Alessandro Italy
BANDIERA Marco Italy
BRUSEGHIN Marzio Italy
FURLAN Angelo Italy
LORENZETTO Mirco Italy
MARZANO Marco Italy
MORI Massimiliano Italy
RIGHI Daniele Italy
SPILAK Simon

Napolitano rides for TEAM KATUSHA, anyway

Napolitano rides for TEAM KATUSHA, anyway

Of course he does - was just testing!

I remembered seeing his name on the startlists and forgotten he'd joined them this season.

 

[Bala Verde]

I think they are all consolidated now on page one.

Thx for updating frequently Lucyb

Are you sure is final final?

 

[Bala Verde]

Are you sure is final final?

There might be 1-5 riders that aren't correct (ie Boonen). And as announced today, LAM changed substituted 3 riders... So it's not final final

 

[issoisso]

Also, Caisse's team leader is not Sánchez

all names are in random order. I have no idea who will have which numner at the start...

 

[issoisso]

Also, Columbia have officially announced their Tour team. No Burghardt. Grabsch is there instead.

all names are in random order. I have no idea who will have which numner at the start...

Ah, I see. You wrote "Equipier" next to Pereiro and "GC" next to Sánchez, so I assumed. my apologies

EDIT: As for Boonen, if he doesn't ride, his replacement will be Davis
