Kittel vs. Greipel in a great pre-Tour match-up.... Can't wait to see them sprint on stage.... on stage...... stage.... LOL!!!
FDJ with an impossible (not Hard, impossible) goal of a Top5 GC. I don't think there is a single french rider capable of that! So let's take a Top20 and hopefully a stage win in our pre-tour warm up.
Le Faucon is back in action on a great route for him. Lots of up, fair bit of down and minimal fast flat stuff. Key race in testing out what will be possible over three weeks in July, hopefully a Top20 finish is on the cards, or at least taking the pressure off JCP.

Correct, it's there though, I just didn't look at it properly
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

No flat stage
Why did I even send Andre here then?

Yeah, I couldn't believe it to see the depth of sprinters here. Let's pretend it has anything to do with rhythm and form

Exactly, Bos is here to learn how to handle the mountains for the Tour
Maybe, just maybe, I switched my Suisse and Dauphiné lineups

U25 goal suddenly seems very achievable. Just De Vries and TvG to beat, I suppose.

Oh yeah, and Pinot indeed. His TT sucks though.

Dafuq?
You do realise Christian de Vries (the good climber) isn't here. I doubt Pieter or Niels will do much. Way too many de Vries' for one story game I feel.
Loving the sprinters here. Maybe Kittel, Greipel and Bos will go for the breakaways.
First few stages look good for Gilbert but he'll no doubt find a way of screwing it up. Curse of the rainbow stripes and all that.

Oh damn, wrong De Vries. Both are on Belgian teams at least
Edit: There are 3?

No ambitions at all for the Dauphine, but hopefully the team can get some good results. Basso isn't here, so it can't go bad. |

Curse of BMC more likely
And all the De Vries are confusing indeed, but I may be able to scrap a few after the first season

they all ride for different teams, it shouldn't be a problem

Samu should have a decent chance of achieving our top 10 goal here I think
