Netserk said:For me the most important value for a dream-team in a GT is loyalty. To have one clear leader and 8 doms. Not saying that the doms can't go for stages, but their first priority should be as a dom. This means that I won't just pick the strongest helpers, but the most loyal of the strong helpers.
Albert Contador: Leader
Fabian Cancellara: Protects AC on the flats, and a huge asset in TTT
Tony Martin: Dom for the flat and TTT. Can also pull in the bottom of the final mountain, but will of course blow up quickly
Sergio Henao: Dom for the Mountains. Have showed great loyalty and consistency.
Nairo Quintana: Same as Henao, though even more a beast.
Paolo Tiralongo: Great dom in general and a great friend of Alberto.
Maxime Monfort: All-round dom.
Sergio Paulinho: All-round dom.
Ian Stannard: Flat dom.

El Pistolero said:You guys do realize there are better riders out there than Wiggins and Froome right?
Bavarianrider said:(All riders in their prime)
Directeur sportif: Rudy Pevenage
GC Rider: Jan Ullrich
"Free Joker Rider": Alexandre Vinokourov (Basically he can do whatever he feels like, attacking, go for stages, or GC, or everything)
Classic/Hills stage type rider: Matthias Kessler (Also a good helper in the mountains and a decent TTTler, too)
Mountain Helpers: Patrick Sinkewitz (Decent TTTler and flatstage rider, too)
Jörg Jacksche (Decent TTTler and flat stage rider,too)
Allround Helpers: Tony Martin (Superb in TTes, too, of course)
Jens Heppner (A very loyal helper who is useful
in all terrains)
Steffen Weseman (Particularly helpful if there should be
cobles, can support Zabel in finishes)
Sprinter: Erik Zabel: He can go for both stage wins, as well as the green
jersey, doesn't need a train and is very good in the
mountains for a sprinter.

Pozzovivo - 2nd in command/co-leader
Rujano - free hand, help in TTTs, break the wind for the leader
Quintana - mountain super-dom
Niemiec - lower slope domestique
Andre Cardoso - lower slope domestique
Txurruka - breakaway king
Pirazzi - even more of a breakaway king
Atapuma - to add more Colombians to the mix
DSes: Lucho Herrera, Jacky Durand and Alexander Vinokourov

Leader: Alberto Contador
Domestique: Paolo Tiralongo
Other seven riders largely irrelevant
Love it! That team doesn't even need a leader, just sit back and watch the attacks fly Just hope that the wind doesn't pick up...Libertine Seguros said:Antón - leader

If the Sky train turns up again next year Bertie won't even need a team. He just has to sit on Wigan's wheel and wait for Froome to open a gap then ride awaypdluz7 said:I agree in part. Leader: Alberto Contador, Jesus Hernandez (friend and confidant), Other seven riders largely irrelevant. Paolo Tiralongo dosmetique even if another team.
