Sanchez, Martinez, Perez, Verdugo, Txurruka. Then any 4 from Hernandez, Isasi, Oroz, Perez and Velasco
Sicard named as reserve
Sicard named as reserve
So that means their saving Anton and Benat Inxausti for the Vuelta.bianchigirl said:Sanchez, Martinez, Perez, Verdugo, Txurruka. Then any 4 from Hernandez, Isasi, Oroz, Perez and Velasco

And that also means there will be 9 Basques riding a bike and making people happy instead of setting bombs or shooting someone point-blank.luckyboy said:Means that Euskaltel are gonna kick ***!
like last year![]()
I see loftvist missing out from those ten, each sky rider with the exception of brad wiggins is only riding one tour this year, so 26 riders, 27 tour spots, brad doing two, leaves one each, and if Thomas rides the giro, thats his GT for the year..Timmy-loves-Rabo said:I see Geraint Thomas missing out from that list.
Indeed it is early for such a discussion, no harm done though.
We will know a lot more when the giro squad is announced. Every sky rider has been guaranteed one grand tour ride, so it stands to reason that none of the giro riders (except wiggins) will ride the tour, unless of course wiggins doesnt ride the tour.sublimit said:i reckon Froome will go. i dont think Pauwels will make it and Arveson wont because of his injury not sure about Calzati... that list looks close though.
time will tell but that still looks a decent team. lovkvist should go because he's a solid rider on the flat and can do well in time trials.
didnt know every sky rider had been promised a gt ride? cool if so.dimspace said:We will know a lot more when the giro squad is announced.

I'd be very surprised if Löfkvist won't do the Tour this year, as one of his main reasons for leaving Columbia was not being selected for the Tour. I'm sure he's had some kind of guarantee.dimspace said:I see loftvist missing out from those ten, each sky rider with the exception of brad wiggins is only riding one tour this year, so 26 riders, 27 tour spots, brad doing two, leaves one each, and if Thomas rides the giro, thats his GT for the year..
No he has not, but some people have claimed that he can win green. Never heard EBH say anything like that.dimspace said:Edvald Boasson Hagen - Has said in interviews his aim is green, and appearance seemingly confirmed in several interviews.
Sky would need lovkist for the mountains you would think? Get rid of Henderson. His time for the tour will have to wait. have another guy for the flats or the hills for Wiggo and then you would have quite a strong lineup.dimspace said:I see loftvist missing out from those ten, each sky rider with the exception of brad wiggins is only riding one tour this year, so 26 riders, 27 tour spots, brad doing two, leaves one each, and if Thomas rides the giro, thats his GT for the year..
If you read norwegian, here's one interview with Edvald where he mentions the green jersey: http://mobil.tv2.no/sporten/sykkel/edvald-utfordrer-hushovd-om-den-groenne-troeyen-2902955.htmlmaltiv said:No he has not, but some people have claimed that he can win green.

Kloden or Schleck wouldn't be working for Bradley Wiggins.Winterfold said:Sky still need a Kloden or F Schleck mega-domestique to give Brad a fighting chance.
Scott Sunderland has said that this years route partilarly suits EbH, and EbH has told his fan club that he wants to win a stage in this years tour and challenge for the green jersey.maltiv said:No he has not, but some people have claimed that he can win green.

thank you hektoren.. thats one of the links i was also looking for.hektoren said:If you read norwegian, here's one interview with Edvald where he mentions the green jersey: http://mobil.tv2.no/sporten/sykkel/edvald-utfordrer-hushovd-om-den-groenne-troeyen-2902955.html
For the norwegian-challenged people out there, here goes a rough translation:
Edvald takes on Hushovd for the green jersey in 2010.l
If they had either one of them, Wiggins would end up as the domestique on the 2010 Tour parcours.Winterfold said:Sky still need a Kloden or F Schleck mega-domestique to give Brad a fighting chance.
LOL. So true....Angliru said:If they had either one of them, Wiggins would end up as the domestique on the 2010 Tour parcours.
