Porte is a nutter for leaving Saxo..... hes gone from Contador's no 2 to not even getting a Tour ride.... Rogers will be back to his old role of leading Cav into the final 5km..... Gerrans was smart enough to get out.... This team reminds me of the 1988 Fagor team.
Split personalities.
....and what was Froome thinking?

luckyboy said:Eisel will be in there to stay with him in the mountains at least.
How many riders will Wiggins even need in the mountains?
Maybe two who will still be there on the final climb of the day. Froome isn't going to be riding apparently, so that leaves Sivtsov, Rogers, Löfkvist, Zandio, Henao, Porte.
Zandio and Henao aren't going to be there, Porte isn't going to be much use in the mountains as we have seen, Löfkvist seemingly hasn't got it anymore climbing-wise. Leaving Sivtsov and Rogers (if he gets back to his old form).
Someone else has probably put together a provisional Tour team, but I think this'd be pretty good for them.
