    Tony Gallopin has been picked by the DS' of whom one is Alain Gallopin......

    Which is one of the least contraversial things to happen at RSNT thus far this year! :wink:

    To be fair, Tony Gallopin showed some useful form at the Dauphine, which is more than most of the RSNT squad have done this year.

    To be fair to Fuglsang, RNT has three victories so far this year. Cancelara has two, Fuglsang has one.

    I would definitely bring him if he's fit.

    “It does not take a genius to see that the team is not running as it should.”

    So Trek are picking the team (see the last paragraph!)

    I think you, along with the writer are misinterpreting the tweet. I don't think he literally meant there was a vote, simply that he was pulling for him to make the final selection.

    Kloeden seems to get dropped in the roll out these days, not sure why he'd be there.

    It's great. I look at that line up and suddenly I feel quite young. :D
