Team Sky TdF

A very premature thread, but I need to have a good think about who is going to be in Team Sky's TdF for work so good opportunity to do my job for me and put some predictions out there for the full 9 (or maybe 8) man squad.

Prize if anyone gets it bang on (message me in June) I think

Wig
Froome
EBH
Bernie/Thomas (can't pick)
Knees
Rogers
Porte
Henao
Uran

Ahh, no WorlTour, but continued ASO races under the guidance of Vaughter's breakaway league.

Nope, Vaughter's has to take his orders from the one general and chief who oversee's universal cycling. A sort of Alien vs Pro's vs Dopers.

The name of that individual would be Mehdi Sohrabi

Pro teams can't update yet as currently they are still under contract for this season - so their rosters are correct

You've updated your transfer thing quicker than the pro teams have!  19

Mark my words.  4

-----------------

I'm pretty sure Flecha will be next to leave, whether he doped or not remains to be seen.

I think that Swift is really underrated, and that he should have been in the Olympics team.

There will be less domination than this year, as Contador and the Chemical brothers will field ACTUAL teams of ACTUAL cyclists this year...

Also, expect a challenge from Garmin.

I'm disappointed in you, I thought you would have at least looked at the transfers and been able to see the Flecha is off to Vacansoleil-DCM next season......  13

Going to depend I suspect but I imagine (if Wiggo is genuinely going for the Giro):

Froome
Wiggo
EBH
G
Porte
Rogers (subject to doping reverlations)
Kiriyenka
Bernie
Uran

No need for Knees if Wiggo isn't leading the team as he's partly there to give Brad his bike in case of emergency

VERY premature, but I'm in

Froome
Cataldo
Lopez
Dombrowski
JTL
Henao
Uran
Eisel (on retainer from OPQS to drop back and help Cav  3 )
EBH

Wiggo as first reserve depending on how he comes through the Giro as that's his stated aim for 2013
