Which team will be the strongest team in the tour 2013?

[taiwan]

Katusha are actually really strong when I think about it. Purito, Moreno and Spilak on the cols, and then Kristoff who has been on fire this year.

Voted Movistar for their depth althougj I haven't seen the final team.

Maybe not, but you certainly pick up on the Dutchie behaviour. If you're not Dutch, stay out of it

And the dutch mafia is starting to flex their muscle again after being in some sort of decline for awhile.

I'm not, in my country it's a habit to hate on the Dutch, stay out of it.

Europcar- Multiple guys that can take stage wins from breaks, Voeckler if he picks the right break could put himself in yellow and finish well. Also have a GC contender in Rolland.

What will Europcar be aiming for? Rolland for GC and Voekler for stage wins?
Or the other way around?

Yes, Rolland will be there GC leader, Voeckler said recently

“It’s clear, for the general classification the leader is Pierre Rolland,” Voeckler explained to rmcsport.fr. “He finished eighth and tenth in the last two years at the Tour.”

I imagine Voeckler and others will also go in breaks and go for stage wins/yellow. And they have Coquard and Turgot for the sprints. I think Veilleux could especially do well, his ride in the Dauphine was impressive.

Good to see Coquard getting a chance to ride... however he is a little young imo. Maybe he will drop out before the mountains... give him a nice taste of what sprinting with the big boys is like and then pull him out before the fatigue gets to him.
