I don't think that Aru will get Nibali's Tour team. Tiralongo will be by Aru's side for sure. They might send Cataldo, Rosa and LLS to the Tour as well.

Landa depends on if he is riding Giro/Vuelta or he will be a pure Porte-replacement (leading Giro then supporting in the Tour).. If first-mentioned, it's likely that König will ride the Tour. Don't know about Henao either. I think Boswell could ride the Tour. He is old and strong enough to make a debut.

The Movistar and Tinkoff teams look about right. But Majka doesn't like the idea of riding the Tour because he can't ride the Vuelta then.

The most obvious favorite has to be Froome. I can't see anyone beating him.

Landa wants to go to Rio and the Spanish national coach won't take anyone who wasn't at the tour.
