Dauphine may very well be a continuation of last years Catalyuna. Mano a mano match race, except there is an intermediate length TT

Would be a strong set of rouleurs for the team. No Asgreen then?
I think Asgreen is in Denmark as of now.

But I would be surprised if all of Lampaert, Pedersen and Moscon would go to the Tour.

They probably have a bigger pre-selection (including Asgreen I suppose) and I expect more riders to join the training camp in the coming days/weeks.

3 is too many? There are 8 spots, how would you divide this? You have Remco as the leader, but how many people do you need in the mountains? There are 7 spots left, wouldn't 4 be enough? Knowing you have Landa and Van Wilder already that can go to the last 10-20 riders.

I hope Cattaneo can be 100% ready. He's a very strong rouleur but is also good uphill. Then two other rouleurs should be enough I think. Vervaeke is also not bad on the flat.

Without Cattaneo I would take three rouleurs yes.

I think my ideal selection would be: Remco, Landa, Van Wilder, Vervaeke, Cattaneo, Lampaert, Asgreen (or Pedersen/Moscon) + one more climbing type (Hirt/Knox) but I understand a case can definitely be made for an extra rouleur instead of Hirt/Knox or even a pure workhorse like Serry.
