Norman is the only one with experience in the race, so I assume he will ride it, unless he crashes hard in one of the earlier races.Wild Card to Roubaix secured. Will be interesting to see what line up they will bring. I assume Tiller, Resell and Wærenskjold are safe bets, with Tiller as the most likely top 10 candidate. I guess Niklas Larsen, Halvorsen, Anders Skaarseth and maybe Norman Hansen could be possible picks too. Maybe Hulgaard. Jonas Abrahamsen is another good option. I think it’s too early for Blume Levy, but he looks to be a type that can be a strong rider for these kind of races.
I do wonder if he is better suited for Ronde tho. Will be very interesting to see what he can do.Tiller defintely looks like an outsider to a top 6-10 finish based on his 2021 level.
B&B don't really have anybody interesting on their squad at all apart from Bonnamour but will ASO really snub the reigning supercombatif?I wouldn't be surprised if ASO suspenses the award of the final wildcard and eventually ends up inviting UnoX after a courageous spring campaign rather than Vital Concept!
They've snubbed B&B several times, when Coquard still was profile rider. Hence why I wouldn't be surprised if they actually end up inviting UnoX, depending on their spring campaign.B&B don't really have anybody interesting on their squad at all apart from Bonnamour but will ASO really snub the reigning supercombatif?
But have they ever snubbed them for a team with no French connections whatsoever?They've snubbed B&B several times, when Coquard still was profile rider. Hence why I wouldn't be surprised if they actually end up inviting UnoX, depending on their spring campaign.
Didn't ASO invite Skil instead of the original Bretagne team back in 2009?But have they ever snubbed them for a team with no French connections whatsoever?
There are no other teams with major French connections after the death of DELKO, so in case they do snub B&B, it's hard to see them not picking Uno-X instead.But have they ever snubbed them for a team with no French connections whatsoever?
It was Sojasun, cause Bretagne wasn't PCT back then. Skil did have a few French riders though, and two of them rides for B&B today.Didn't ASO invite Skil instead of the original Bretagne team back in 2009?
Yes, but they had several French riders at the time.Didn't ASO invite Skil instead of the original Bretagne team back in 2009?
If they can take 23 teams, I don't think that's a given (although, I don't see the reason why not).For Wildcards, it would be Alpecin, Total, and who else. 18 WT+Arkea+Alpecin+Total. 21 Teams, so two more wildcards for B&B and UNO-X for 23?
If you meet them at the airport you have to see which one carries 2 passports and which one carries 0 passport. Anders is apparently always taking care of Tobias..Good news! Now we know how to tell the difference between the twins!

Tobias............................... Anders
A responsible/irresponsible thing going on?If you meet them at the airport you have to see which one carries 2 passports and which one carries 0 passport. Anders is apparently always taking care of Tobias..
But if they won't always be racing together, who will then carry Tobias' passport for him?If you meet them at the airport you have to see which one carries 2 passports and which one carries 0 passport. Anders is apparently always taking care of Tobias..
Yes. Sting Kristiansen, former Norwegian national team coach and now in Uno-X, told it in a Norwegian podcast this week. Apparently the same goes for Leknessund and Hvideberg, Hvideberg has to fix everything. No wonder why DSM had to sign Hvideberg also.A responsible/irresponsible thing going on?
Anyway: Now we know how to tell them apart on their official rider photos, or if we meet them at the airport.
Now we just need to know how to tell them apart when they're racing (apart from looking at their numbers)...
I don’t know how they solved it last season when Anders raced in Turkey and Tobias in Tour of the AlpsBut if they won't always be racing together, who will then carry Tobias' passport for him?
Maybe that's how DSM convinced Leknessund to stay!Apparently the same goes for Leknessund and Hvideberg, Hvideberg has to fix everything. No wonder why DSM had to sign Hvideberg also.
