Pretty strong Euskaltel team, might even see them giving it a go in the sprints with Lobato. That'd be a sight, a Euskaltel rider winning a bunch kick in the TdF!
Where is Samuel Sanchez? He did win a stage of the Dauphine, and while he may be past his best for GC, he would definitely have been a contender for KOM and some stages.
I'm surprised by his non-inclusion. |

He has already ridden the Giro and needs to get points to secure their WT status in the Vuelta.

Ahhh I see.
Maybe Euskaltel will try and go for a top 10 in GC with Anton. He does have two top 10s in the Vuelta. |

Good call by Europacr. Veilleux will prove to be very strong, Arashiro will hopefully get in some attacks 
Though I'm missing Charteau, and to lesser extent Jerome. And maybe Kern. |

No Gaudin or Turgot either, thought one of them would get in. Coquard too young and inexperienced to be considered I would assume as well. |

Really strong Moviestar team! Question; Will they wait for Quintana if they lose him in the TTT?

Surprised about Reza's call. He will be the second black cyclist riding the Tour, if I'm not mistaken. Shame about Turgot, he would have been regular with all those 6th places he used to finish two year ago, I think.  |

Why should they lose Quintana in the TTT in last Year Vuelta Quintana was in the Team that won the TTT 
IMO Quintana is been really underestimate in his TT abilities. |

Let me guess Lampre's squad. They've always had the Tour as a second priority, sending a weaker and more out of form team than in the Giro.
Niemiec
Cunego
Cimolai
Malori
Serpa
Bono
Richeze
Mori
Ulissi |

Hardly "out of form". This is Cunego's big season goal.
The only ones your statement might apply to are Niemiec and Serpa, who've already done the Giro. The rest shouldn't be bad at all.

Official Lampre squad
Damiano Cunego
Matteo Bono
Davide Cimolai
Elia Favili
Roberto Ferrari
Adriano Malori
Manuele Mori
 Przemyslaw Niemic
Jose Serpa
Ferrari is in there just to annoy Cavendish
This team is no worse than the squad they send to the Giro.
