Thomas won't ride because he's preparing for the track at the Olympics. The team is going to be waaaay stretched. They are going to have to play some poker and force other teams to work - they're not the only ones who want a sprint finish.
Knees takes the Thomas spot probably

It's all pretty much unknown yet 
Certain are :
Wiggins
Cavendish
EBH
Porte
Rogers
Siutsou
Froome
- Pate
- Knees
- Eisel
So 2/3 will get it. Pate might replace Eisel for Cav, he's fresher not doing Giro and later on could help Wiggo more in mountains and chasing than Eisel probably.
I think Pate is 100% cert. It's between Eisel and Knees.

Isn't he going to break the record of most participations at TDF this year? |

I think so too, so he'll break it this year. That's nice.
Too bad he's stopping, but a career's got to end once, unfortunately. |

Cav is on diet. He rides for Sky, so more likely Aicar :

My thought. A lot of riders use weight loss as an excuse for their great performances nowadays (Westra!), but wouldn't not eating and training for hours totally burn up your muscles?

Losing weight doesn't have to mean you stop eating. Like cav says, he stops eating candy, soft drinks and ready meals.

Westra claims to have been living on water all winter though. Besides I'm sure most cyclists don't eat candy or drink softdrinks and all teams have their own cook.

A couple of years ago I weighed 80kg. I used to drink about 2 litres of juice a day, thinking that it was healthy. Once I realsied the sugar content I stopped and lost 1kg a week for 3 months (combined with stepping up my cycling). I have since weighed about 68kg, although I put on weight when I couldn't cycle for 6 months. I stopped eating sandwiches for lunch and that helped control my weight. |

Trust me, I know a lot about losing weight. But eating practically nothing and training for hours a day sounds like robbery on your body though. I don't get how that could make you cycle faster.
