Impey/Dowsett/Griepel/Woods and go stage hunting.

Does Greipel get a lead out duo?

With 8 it's a fine balance. I think they absolutely have to go there for some stage wins. Their roster is pretty thin tbh.

Rick Zabel, Sep VanMarke and Matthias Brandle about the only other 3 'names'

I wouldn't.

Let him Robbie McEwan his way on his own, or get into a break where he's the fastest in a 2 or 3 up sprint.

Very strange. Many questions, indeed.

Shesh, Froome must be battling to adjust.... disc brakes, bilharzia and off the Ineos program.... that is a rather large change in one year!

I'm watching highlights of the Criterium du Dauphine every evening and last night when the commentators were doing their pre race intro they said that Chris was ill and on his way home. He'd had a bad day previously. Apparently he needed to do well in this race to secure a place at le Tour next month . . . .

It's time to send the old man out to pasture, unless he comes up with some extraordinary strategy to get him back up to the top.
