I do look at Lotto-Jumbo and often wonder what the hell their recruitment strategy is. They've some decent riders, like Kruiswijk, Vanmarcke and Gesink, yet you can guarantee that none of them will have support when they need it. Baffling.

Guess it's money. Can get a few names but don't have money to get semi names to support them.
Shame for him. If he had a real strong team I'd put money on him winning now. -
I wonder too, but that's a luxury, really. Mollema and Ten Dam both moved. Battaglin and Roglic are OK climbers, Gesink will ride the TdF so no Giro. But other than Sky, Tinkoff and Astana, what teams do you see that can deliver decent support with two or three domestiques to their lead man in mountain stages? Money probably is a factor, since Rabobank is no longer the big sponsor

Shame for him they don't have strength, wonder if we'll see him moving teams. He's provedhes strong and just needs a team behind him.
Yeah today will show how people's form really is. And yes, don't think pibk will change, he's got a decent gap to Chavez and even bigger to nibali. They will both need to work him over and to then crack him when he's isolated next week.
