Not many "British" riders then....no Dowsett, Wiggo, Swift, Miller, Kennaugh. At least they've got Froome, he's kinda British.

 

Funny, not one English rider will be present at the start of the Tour in England

Wonder who'll wear yellow first - Cav' or Kittel or a surprize winner

Cav will be gutted if he doesn't!

 

but if i'm not mistaken he has only beaten Kittel 3 times out of something like 12 when they have come to the line together...going to be exciting either which way!

Saxo: Contador, Rogers, Roche, Majka, Pauhlinho, Hernandez, Morkov, Benatti, Tossato.

 

Very surprised Roman K not selected. :wacko:

Cav's a good bet, maybe Sagan too. Battle for the vert will be as good aa the one for blanc and for jaune imho!

Cofidis: Dani Navarro, Luis Ángel Maté, Cyril Lemoine, Rudy Molard, Julien Simon, Nicolas Edet, Egoitz García, Adrien Petit, and Rein Taaramae.

Wish I could be so sure. It's a three way duel imho between Sagan, Cav and Kittel. Cav's train looks pretty dialled so he'll be Sagan's biggest threat.

 

Either way it'll be amazing to watch.

Reinie may well be back. Giant only confirmed sponsorship to end 2014 and Shimano uncertain for next year. I'm hoping that MTN will be World Tour team in 2015.

 

That's high hopes isn't it?

 

If not, how do they go about achieving this? I think the team need to obtain a certain number of "UCI points", in other words, win races (or at least place high enough for points). If not, they have to sign riders who do have said points against their name. Option 1 is out cause I didn't see them winning this year. Option 2 is for MTN to bring out their check book. That's about the options unless I'm missing something???
