1. Leader-Contador (Arguably the current best GT rider)
2. Flat Dom/TT specialist- Cancellara (He can take yellow on the first day, do great work for the team on the flats and still win stages).
3. Mountain Dom- Quintana (did great work for Valverde at the Vuelta, also might be able to contend for white)
4. All-around Dom- Hincapie (Can do work on the flats and the mountains)
5. All-around Dom- Voigt (no explanation needed)
6. Free-role- LL sanchez (can get in breaks, go for stage wins)
7. Super-dom- Vino (he can do it all and still get a couple stages)
8. Free role- Gilbert (for domestique work and to contest in uphill sprints)
9.sprinter- Sagan (Can contend with green and doesn't need a sprint train to do so)
 
too hard to make it
i'd make some dozens
i like bavarianrider's and the hitch's and zam's one of course

a combination of gewiss '94-festina '97-mercatone '99-us postal '04-t mobile '06-astana '09-sky '12 would do the trick for me. there are too many possibilities.
 
The Hitch said:
Wiggo, Froomey, Il killer, RoboBasso, Rebbelin, Jose "The Buffalo" Gutierrez, Oscar Sevilla, Rasmussen, Schumacher

DS - Saiz/ Savio

Wiggo as the captain? wonder how Rasmussen would take that.

And Schumacher, i know its a matter of personal opinion, but that one suprised me quite a bit :) care to explain?

Seen the new adds with Skibby?, where he talks about how much he regrets his past. how he felt like a addict.

THIS. There are not many changes I would or could make. Depending on the course I would maybe trade Gilbert for Moreno.
 
Tour-team, roles should be fairly standard

Contador

Szmyd
froome
Porte

Voigt
Stannard
Cancellara

Gilbert
Freire

**
I suppose cav has higher flat sprint winrate, but hes kind of a nuisance. Going for a tad more versatile sprinter with oscarito.
Could swich gilbert + freire for sagan + domestique/vino, but the domestique folder is well filled allready. Besides gilbert is a strong
card in a TTT.
The flat + road capatin section does not even need to be mentioned. Voigt will delegate things.
The mountain section consists of both diesels (porte szmyd), and froomey for reeling in dangermen and for miraculous comebacks.
Contador will be well-supported in all kinds of terrain. Rest is up to the great one.

Cataldo will do Giro. Not Tour.

How the hell Rowe got into your Tour team and not Thomas ?

My current list :p

Contador

Froome

Quintana
Porte ( devoted mountain domestique is always needed )
Kireynka

Cancellara
Sagan
Thomas
Martin

Sagan / Cance / Thomas / Martin could do their own lead-out train if needed. Best thing - even the sprinter is decent climber. We could see 9 riders mountain train with this team :p
