Really hoping George Bennett and Steven Kruiswijk can do something for Lotto NL Jumbo, along with Hofland in the sprints.
Havent you noticed? They are competing with Garmin over who gets to be the most useless and pathetic team this year. So far, pretty equal, but if Hofland manages a couple of top-10, it could really turn the tides in favour of Garmin.
Top-10:
1. Contador
2. Urán
3. Porte
4. Pozzovivo
5. Aru
6. Kreuziger
7. Xausti
8. Caruso
9. Formolo
10. Izaguirre
... and some young guys to keep an eye on who I would like to see climb well: Quintana, Landa, Atapuma, Grmay, Rosa, Chaves, Betancur and Henao.

I was under the impression he was going to drop out of the race towards the end as they are taking him to the Tour this year, could be wrong

Yup .
Giro will have 2 Romanian riders this year. That's something, giving the low number of riders in Romania.

More like 1 and a half
It's pretty good that both Romanian riders that are at a PCT level will get to ride such a big race indeed

Some talking before the walking ahead of the Giro from Movistar. Looking forward to JJ battling it out with Matthews and co. on the hillier days and the break opportunities for this team |

Klaas Lodewyck's heart problems have returned and he's obviously not starting 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Now that doesn't happen very often  it would have been a good chance for Sky to give Thomas a go  |

Contador a bit miffed that he had to go training with the squad before his special steak delivery arrived
