JV says they're going to be a match for the Garmin tour squad.

Does he mean Dan Martin or Tom Danielson?

I'm looking forward to it. Ok, not the first few days but some of the mountain stages look like they'll be corkers.
Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Looking forward to seeing Dan Martin's GT debut, hoping he gets a bit of license to see how far he can go.

    Who's leader?

    What about Vandevelde? He was upstaged by Wiggins in the Tour and still finished 8th, despite being a good team-mate.

    Also glad to see Tuft getting a place.

    That's the one. The guy who cycled from Canada to Southern California TO GO ON A TRAINING RIDE.

    Will he still be in contention by the time they get to Spain?

    Depends whether you think finishing just outside the top 5 in the Vuelta previously means anything :wink:

    I was expecting VDV to ride, he should back in top shape now. Thats interesting. Was looking forward to seeing him and Dan in the mountains. Surprised Farrar is riding, he must tired now, but saying that, its guaranteed stage wins i guess.
