There are some riders who are not gonna ride this year the Tdf because they have other plans or they've alread raced the Giro! I know that there will be the most important riders racing in france, but some other riders won't race! let me know about it! what's your opinion???
 
can tell July's approaching...

voted Scarponi as I'd like to see him amongst the likes of Gesink, VDB2, Evans, etc... in that 2-10 position competition.
you only see him do the Giro and I'd like to see how he'd go against these others.
 
Amongst those you have mentioned I will definitely miss Anton the most. On a good day he's the only one who can climb with AS and AC, and his style is awesome. Rodriguez will also be missed, because he would at least finish s.t with Gilbert at 2nd. His late attacks in the mountains are also just incredible to watch when he manages to time them correctly. However, Tondo and Soler will obviously be missed the most.

I'll miss all the riders above Sastre. Also Offredo, that guy's great, but perhaps the Tour isn't his best race.
 
Chiapucci and Thierry Marie.

Nibali and Anton, both of whom, if on good form, could liven up the climbs and make life at least a little bit tougher for AC and AS.
