Don't know if it's correct

But there’s a list on a Swedish site.

Don't forget the Andy Schleck/Luxemburg

The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.

What's the whole team?

by tedvdw on Sep 18, 2009 1:42 PM EDT up reply actions

You asked, you shall receive...

Andy Schleck (Saxo Bank), Kim Kirchen (Columbia), Laurent Didier (Designa Kokken) et Jempy Drucker (Differdange)

The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.

They forego 5 places?!

by tedvdw on Sep 18, 2009 2:02 PM EDT up reply actions

This was all the article listed.

Would there be performance requirements placed on participants that limit their ability to field the full team.

Are the listings limited to the road race or are you including TT?

Not much team tactics in the TT, normally.

Stevic, wasn’t he busted?

by tedvdw on Sep 21, 2009 6:23 PM EDT up reply actions

He was never officially sanctioned...The case just "disappeared". He has been racing in Croatia and the Balkans

the last year and a half. CONI was supposed to be going for a lifetime ban with the Oil for Drugs but he weaseled out of it.

by Vlaanderen90 on Sep 21, 2009 6:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Bah.

add Zirbel for Bissel and there's a Kelly Benefits rider too.

by Fred Marx on Sep 20, 2009 9:59 AM EDT up reply actions

Yep, got them already

Andrew Bajadali from Kelly Benefits. Zirbel only TT, so not in my matrix.

by tedvdw on Sep 20, 2009 10:14 AM EDT up reply actions

ah right no itt must remember to read fine print...

it’s still early this Sunday am though..

by Fred Marx on Sep 20, 2009 10:32 AM EDT up reply actions

Thanks though :)

by tedvdw on Sep 20, 2009 10:14 AM EDT up reply actions

Jeff Louder (BMC) is a scratch for the Road Race... He contracted H1N1 so he is out.

Don’t know if his place is being taken by anybody…my guess would be Zirbel, if at all, since he is all ready there

by Vlaanderen90 on Sep 22, 2009 1:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Check.

by tedvdw on Sep 22, 2009 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions

Brits now down to ten...

Final selection depends on whether Cavendish is fit or not. They appear to be giving him as long as till Thursday.

Mark Cavendish (Columbia)
Stephen Cummings (Barloworld)
Russ Downing (Candi TV-Marshall’s Pasta)
Chris Froome (Barloworld)
Roger Hammond (Cervélo)
Dan Lloyd (Cervélo)
David Millar (Garmin)
Ian Stannard (ISD)
Ben Swift (Katusha)
Geraint Thomas (Barloworld)

by civetta on Sep 21, 2009 5:49 AM EDT reply actions

Oh right

but no word on which riders are sure? I could think of a few; I did Italy that way with a few question marks. Not very clear in itself already, but to have 2 question mark teams would be the start of chaos. Thanks though, will be easy to copy from this list.

by tedvdw on Sep 21, 2009 6:02 AM EDT up reply actions

Not helpful, is it? ;-)

According to Lionel Birnie it’ll be Stannard who’s left out if Cav’s fit (& d be rather sad about that). I would say that Millar & tthe Barloworld & Cervélo contingents are certain, & if Russ Downing is left out there’ll be riots in the street. Possibly.
