Could TGH or Sivakov go for the GC?

Are they in the team? Bloody shame about Bernal and it'll mean even more Ineos confusion in the TdF with him, Froome and Thomas as 'we'll decide on the road ' leaders.

Its a tough one to call. Dumoulin, Roglic, Nibali, Yates S, Landa, Lopez plus a few outsiders.

18. Team INEOS

172 GEOGHEGAN HART Tao
173 HENAO Sebastián
174 KNEES Christian
175 MOSCON Gianni
176 NARVÁEZ Jhonatan
177 PUCCIO Salvatore
178 SIVAKOV Pavel

This is their provisional list. Not sure how long the teams have to name their starters

Majka is showing better form recently and even Hugh Carthy is beginning to look more like the rider that showed early promise at the start of his career.

It's a pity Thomas won't ride the Giro.He will want to defend his Tour though.Dare I say it hoping Froome' has a hiccup or the like.Im guessing they'll put Tao and Sivakov in the team and go for some stage wins at least,see what plays out for a leader.

As Dave might have said on hearing the news, oh frack.

No plan b, again.

 

[ColinJ]

Valverde is out with a bad back!

Gianni Moscon has also pulled out of the Giro. Not sure why.

Form not up to it ?

Roglic is in good form.

Roglic is in good form.

3 time trials will work in his favour too.

Moscon on firm could have led the team here..
Is there something going on?

Either he's not shown such good form this year or he's been put on the naughty step by Sir Dave.

Suits Dumoulin also,Roglic in absolutely top form now and Dumoulin peaking into it.I think it's more down to Dumoulins team in the mountains though.
