Would've preferred MTN over Bretagne. But yeah, they're French. Not that they will do anything decent in the TdF, but okay...

Let's face it, GT wild cards are not awarded on sportive grounds. It's probably regrettable for the sport, but it makes sense from other viewpoints. |

What!? The Tour would get way more media attention when they gave MTN that wildcard... How big are MTN's chances on a wildcard for the Vuelta?

I was only confused cause I figured Sojasun would get it over Bretagne. Maybe I missed something. Did Sojasun disband?

I think Feillu (x2), Sepúlveda and Delaplace could do something, but, yeah, I don't think they will achieve that much indeed

That explains it. I don't remember hearing about it. My mistake.

Damn. I had wished to see Linus Gerdemann at the Tour again. Quite a pity ...

MTN will get a Giro or Tour wildcard next year I guess.
NetApp also did wait like 2 years until their first GT wildcard and now get their 2nd with the Tour.
In general understandable decision with Bretagne as French team but MTN surely would have been more interesting with Ciolek, Gerdemann, Sbaragli, Augustyn, Grmay... |

3rd, remember Giro 2012. Also I don't think Bretagne will do worse (no offense) than Sojasun the last years. They have their strengths and have ridden great in races like Roubaix. |

I remembered the Giro. Just wasn`t sure if the Giro was in the 2nd or 3rd year of their existence.
And with 2nd I meant, 2nd GT Wildcard. |

With 3rd I meant the 3rd GT wild-card:
1. Giro 2012
2. Vuelta 2013
3. Tour 2014

I think these teams were expected,as we talked about that a week ago or so. I am happy for NetApp, lets see if König has it to fight for some top15 at the Tour.

Sammy will retire if he doesn't find a team in the next two weeks.

So, Sánchez will retire while Horner will race? What is this bullshit world? (Not saying that Sánchez was clean obviously). |
