Zabriskie, Dumoulin, Szmyd, Van Garderen, and ten Dam (and from his blog, it looks like he really might be back).

Luis Leon Sanchez, Guarnieri, Mosquera, Popovych, Szmyd, José Ivan Gutierrez and Rafael Valls.

Unfortunately there don’t seem to be any huge mountain finishes for Mosquera, and LL Sanchez is probably still exhausted from P-N. Regretting picking Popovych and Szmyd too. Great riders but their value as domestiques mean they don’t get many chances of their own.

zero points of Schleck, Sastre and Zeits probably… Survive and hang on!

Anton, Guarnieri, Leon Sanchez, Cardoso (hope he is recovered), Daniel Moreno (wait to see if was a good pick!,) Malacarne from QS and Taramaee.

hoping for LL Sanchez and Taramee for GC, but probably they are tired from PN…

should be a good race!

It’s nice having a bunch of my boys in this one. I mean, shoot, they can’t all be tired, can they?

Any Thomas Vedel Kvist sightings???

    Or maybe that squishing sound when your shoes are wet.
  Kanine Kerfufflers – Van Den Broeck, Pereiro, L.L. Sanchez, Cardoso, Hesjedal, Kreder, Zabriskie, Meier, Augustyn, T. Martin and Kern

I know Soler had an accident a while back, but I’m wondering what the story is. This is a race I thought he might ride for Caisse…

I am going with
Jesus Hernandez, Lulu, Erviti, Jacopo, Szmyd, Tejay Van Garderen, Taaramae.
oh well.

btw, Liquigas has a crazy strong team.

Hmm.

Zabriskie, Hesjedal, Lulu, Gutierrez, Cardoso, Vazquez, Sastre, and Haedo: the JJ version.

Several of these teams are really, really strong-on paper. I’m gonna write up a full preview tomorrow.

will likely tell us if he’s banned world-wide or not, also according to MyP2P there should be some form of live streaming for the race this year.

Kreuziger, Le Mevel, Roche, Moinard, Hesjedal,Gustavo Cesar Veloso (won ‘08), and Sastre. Some GC, stage hunter, and darkhorse potential there, methinks. Only Carlos can say he is riding for training, for the rest it is the way of the…podium kisses? Sorry, but once I started the sentence with “Only”, I couldn’t help myself.

I have Valjavec, Vandevelde, Basso, Mosquera, F Schleck, and M Velits. Maybe some others – I’m having trouble remembering who is still on my team and who I dropped at the last minute.

I hope some of those guys are taking GC seriously – I will be disappointed if I come away with nothing.

Vandevelde, Zabriskie, Sastre, Basso, Peraud, Aerts and Förster.

I hope to score some points.

not holding my breath… was a bit disappointed with Martin at Paris-Nice, which is slightly perverse given that I didn’t really expect anything

David Zabriskie
Joaquim Rodriguez
Xavier Tondo
Nicolas Roche
Luke Roberts
Manuel Cardoso
Christophe Kern
Oscar Pereiro.
Can’t see any of these guys getting the overall win, but pleased with their general prospects.

Roche, Augustyn, Anton, Garate, Dumoulin.

Meh.
