I think Jeremy Hunt will be picked...he had a very strong performance in the TT and bunch sprints.

Is Cavendish riding TDF or not? Thomas is not riding TDF.

    Yup think Hunt will be a shoe in, particularly with no Julian Dean this year.

    Aside from him maybe Weglius, depending on what sort of team Leaky Gas send. Am sure Cav was down not to ride the Tour, then didn't they change their mind during the Giro and say he'd start and do the first week or so, or did I imagine that? Other than team there's Hammond (who is mentioned in several of the TdF guides, but I think that's purely because he's a Brit), who could be in if the likes of Cav & Wiggins are out. Would be his first Tour too I think.

    Cummings and Thomas definitely aren't riding though. Not sure if Chris Froome will be in the team, and after all he's got a British passport/licence now.

    millar and hunt will be definites I'd say, would be very surprised if cav doesn't go with high road wanting to attract sponsors. he's thier best bet of a stage win.
