Good report, but a disappointing result.
About LBL, I'm not feeling well today, I'm exhausted and feeling sick. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. I hope the preview is up by then

Shame the pack got re-united, now it got a boring mass sprint in the end

Oh darnit, thought it was hillier 
This proves my point, I told you that people would sent less sprinters 
Coquard would be 4th best 
4th is not good enough 
and besides it's Ollfardh, he's too busy with giving penalties and the man-game before actually checking what kind of profiles it is. but we'll see if I was right or not ar Köln

Fine preview, looking forward to the race. I'm crossing my fingers for a little NetApp surprise. 
Dermot will destroy ze Germans. No problem.
He should rather dominate Tour of Turkey, that's where it counts.

In the first two races of his career Kim Tan with consistent top 50s in 50th and 49th. He is on his way to future greatness

 Giro d'Italia Announcement
This is an official announcement concerning the Giro d'Italia. Because we still have to wait a while for the Giro to start, but people are very eager, there will be an in-depth preview which will analise each team's chances in the year's first Grand Tour. We will probably go at about 1 team a day until we get closer to race start.

I just thought of the following. There are 22 teams participating, each with 9 riders. That gives 198 riders. If you add a control team, there will be too many riders I fear.
Solutions: Fewer riders per team or
Make sure 23 teams per GT are allowed and add a control team of 2 riders.

Or have a control team with 1 rider (like I always do), and make sure he doesn't get outside the time limit

The Team
 A. Ravard
S. Dumoulin
L. Mondory
H. Dupont
D. Appollonio
J. Gadret
C. Riblon
D. Pozzovivo
 C. Betancur
French outfit AG2R have a strong Italian core, containing Pozzovivo, Appollonio and Nocentini, the latter of which is a surprise non-inclusion. Leadership will probably be decided between Gadret and Betancur likely to get the nod.
GC
As mentioned Betancur will probably lead the line for AG2R, and if the bigger mountain stages aren't extremely selective, then he will definitely be in there for a 10. If they are selective, Gadret probably has a better chance, but shouldn't be able to get much of a result.
Sprints
With most big sprinters skipping the Giro, it may finally be a chance for Appollonio to impress in his home Grand Tour. The actual jersey is all but out of the question, with Cavendish here, but Appollonio will be looking to impress with podium finishes and maybe even a stage win.
Other
Carlos Betancur will definitely look for a good result in the Youth Jersey, and it will be an interesting battle betweem him and Rafal Majka for 2nd behund probably Quintana. Otherwise, Pozzovivo or maybe even a Frenchman could grab the Mountains Jersey with a very good potential for that sort of fight.

Nice preview for AG2R.
Both Betancur and Gadret should be a decent bet for a top 10 GC if not better.

Gonna like these previews!
But I think you forgot a certain Movistar rider while talking about the youth jersey
And it'll be a 1 rider control team, so make sure he has decent MO and REC, and stays away from the time limit
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
