  • Just being able to say "yeah, Kwia's going but not as leader" is fairly impressive. Then "yeah, wout too".

    Keeping Kwia well paid, motivated, and happy in his role is some serious management. He must have really bought into the program. Is he short tours and one day leader?

  • The operative word here is "bought" hahaa, not too much managing to be done when you can tell him he's had all the opportunities he's wanted in the classics and has also won Algarve and Tirreno this year.

    Sky always take two Roleur/Cobbles type guys for the early stage KM's. Though the teams are reduced to 8, with
    the inclusion of the cobbled stage, I reckon they still take 2. Rowe definitely goes - he's road captain. Really I think it's between Castroviejo and Van Barrle.

    Ellisonde has only ridden 1 GT the last two seasons. Back to back ones with a very tough Giro behind him would be a shock
