Sky can even rotate mountain domestiques, not many teams can do that.
I think the TTT will play a major role in GC at the Tour this year, as that’s the one place where you can create a race winning gap over most of your rivals. Of the teams with serious GC rivals to Froome, only BMC can match them there. I think that will play a major role in team selection.

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
