Do LTB even have any climbing domestiques? Jelle and Jurgen would just do their own thing, don't really need a huge team around them.

Greipel
Roelandts
Henderson
Bak
Sieberg
Hansen
Van den Broeck
Vanendert
De Greef

Griepel offers them a better hope of something to shout about than JVB.

Sky have Cavendish, so they need to carry all the weight for flat stages. No one should help him. Leaving all the work to Sky will only increase Greipel's chances for stage victory.

Greipel will get a couple of boys for leading him(I presume Henderson, Sieberg and Roelandts) out and JVDB will get support from Vanendert. They're not in the same spot as Sky because Sky have the big favorite for the Tour and the best sprinter. If they want to win they'll need to carry the entire race.

Both Greipel and JVDB can benefit from Lars Bak, so he'll be in the team as well. A top 5 in the Tour is important for Lotto because they need the World Tour points. And it will generate more buss in Belgium than Greipel winning a flat stage.

Roelandts would probably be the last man in the train for Greipel.

Other possibles would be Reynes, Willems and Van de Walle

Roelandts 3rd :eek: almost a one-two. He must be well recovered, then.

When you've got a weak sprint field that can happen. For example 2. Boonen and 3. Ciolek in the last stage of Cali.

The other sprinters are allowed to do the same, but besides Cavendish they all seem to suck most of the time.

Greipel is racking them small ****ty sprintwins up like a pro

Better than losing them :p Anyway as you say he's a pro, it's part of his job. Unimpressed with the amount of parroting of Cav's trash-talk that goes on.
