They'll miss Scarpo

 

That's for sure. :)

 

............cant say Cunego impresses me much anymore either, I always liked him after his Giro win as a young lad, considered him a bit of a dark horse and truthfully he was always there or there about, but last years Giro when he rode off on his own and left Scarpo who was fighting for podium out to dry with no help ruined it for me, big ego it seems, and worst of all he didn't even win the stage. :thumbdown:

 

.........I hope Serpa isnt going to try win a stage cos he wont get any help from Cunego.

Mikel Nieve, I think is the only good prospect for a stage, he is quite competitive, or at least more than the rest of these guys, overall the team leaves me under-impressed, look for them dozing in the sun at the back.

Garmin-Sharp for the 2013 Tour de France

 

Tom Danielson (USA)

Rohan Dennis (AUS)

Jack Bauer (NZL)

Ryder Hesjedal (CAN)

Daniel Martin (IRL)

David Millar (GBR)

Ramunas Navardauskas (LIT)

Andrew Talansky (USA)

Christian Vande Velde (USA)

 

I always over look Garmin, they not sure why but when you look at each rider there's some great talent in there, should be a strong team (and built on the premise of being a clean team). Millar is always looking for a stage, Martin's in great form, Ryder could be a threat and of course you have JACK BAUER...

Which is why no Robbie Hunter as expected... pity.

 

Hoping Daryl Impy can maybe spring a suprise on one of the lumpy stages this year though...

 

Impey is in great form and i hope to see a stage win for him.

Their bikes for the tour a pretty cool.Scott Adict @610gr for a 54cm.

Tick off each and every sanctioned, convicted and suspected drug donkey in that list and I wonder where the real record sits. Those times are insanity, impressive and brilliant all at once. And you wonder why people clamour over the fact the tour is 'boring' today. ;)
