Looking forward to see the pro debuts of Zabel, Mohoric, Ewan and Alaphilippe.
They could all be able to make some sort of impact, at least scratch the Top 10 here and there.

In German TV there will be no coverage of TDU, do you guys know a website where I can watch the race?

I'm sure cyclingfans.com will have a link up, like they do for pretty much every year of the year  |

Have the Australians decided on an obscure Euro pro for this year yet?

MTN have made it pretty clear that they want the Tour wildcard and they haven't got enough depth to send a strong squad to both GTs so RCS figured that they would rather give the wildcards to three teams who aren't going to be going to the Tour. MTN are pretty much guaranteed a Tour wildcard IMO.
I think you mistook them for IAM mate. ( applied both for Tour and Giro, but said Tour will be priority even if they get Giro wildcard )
They had a quite big campaign about Giro on twitter about it.

I'm really disapointed that MTN didn't get the Giro, they had a massive push for it on twitter, but I guess Colombia are probably the better team.
Also RCS has been very generous with invites to them so I can't complain too much.
I guess there is still the chance of the Vuelta, given how few Spanish teams there are this year.

MTN should've gotten the wildcard instead of Yellow Fluo.
Also, NetApp-Endura is aiming for a Tour wildcard as well. |

Strong field expected at San Luis
Still no TV coverage anyways

I remember that there was one camara last year, so we can see the last 200m of every race 
Btw, that's enough to say cavendish winning

Maybe a touch early, but Nibali set to ride the Tour (surprise surprise) and Nairo Quintana likely to head to the Giro. I know someone is going to be shitty that I can't link to anything that says these specifically, but sources are reliable.
Quote, source:
"[Nairo] Quintana needs to learn how to ride an Italian race. The racing, the hills, they're all different"
TBH I'm surprised that he isn't going to have another crack at the Tour seeing as he got so close last season, but it explains why he's starting early with San Luis.
When you can't decide between two options, flip a coin. Not because the result of the coin will choose for you, but because, in that split second before the coin lands, you'll know what side you want it to fall on. |

What's more interesting is the linked article. He wants to sign Cancellara, Sagan and Froome!
