Who is in your dream GT team?

My line up:S.Botero,R.Heras,J.Ullrich,A.Vinokourov,A.Valverde,C.Froome,J.Beloki,O.Sevilla and A.Gonzalez.

* Under Netserk rules:C.Froome,A.Valverde,R.Porte,S.Henao,R.Uran,G.Thomas,P.Kenaugh,V.Kiryienka,K.Sivtsov.
 
With the aim of winning the GC of the Tour this year with riders at their current level (what can be expected to be their level in July this year, where that is the season aim for them). Of course the easiest would be to pick all of the big four and then have some doms, but to be realistic I will obviously only have one of them. So the roaster will be limited to what you could expect to assemble with a mega budget, but you can't force everyone to sign for you.

Alberto Contador
Fabian Cancellara
Tony Martin
Roman Kreuziger
Richie Porte
Michael Rogers
Rafał Majka
Lieuwe Westra
Luca Paolini

Never going to win GTs but probably the cyclists I have liked the most.

My Dream GT team with riders only in Britain if the Tour went back to national teams. They would ride british Raleigh bikes. The kit would be similar to the national champs jersey or this. With no Brailsford at the helm the manager would be Rod Ellingworth. The DSs would be Roger Hammond and John Herety (Google these people if you dont know who they are).

The Team:
Simon Yates (GC)
Adam Yates (GC)
Chris Froome/Peter Kennaugh (Super Domestique)
Geraint Thomas (Medium Mountains/Hills Domestique)
Mark Cavendish (Sprinter)
Ben Swift (Sprinter/Leadout man)
Ian Stannard (Strongman/Domestique)
Stephen Cummings (Strongman/Domestique/TTist - sort of)
David Millar (Team Captain)

Like this a lot, I would also have Matt Stephens involved in the staff plus replace Cummings and have Froome and Kennaugh.
