    You'd have to imagine that he'll be desperate to go to the Tour, even if he could only last a week. Conversely, for his team just the coverage they'd get from him being in the race (irrespective of results) will mean good exposure for their sponsors. Having said that, my one concern would be that if he is slightly off the pace he might do something silly in a sprint and end up involved in a bad crash.

    Do we know if Steve Cummings is likely to be ready for the Tour? If he isn't they could be sending a pretty mediocre squad to the Tour. I guess EBH could be good for a result.

    I wouldn't bet on EBH TBH.....

    6 years since a GT stage win

    A Tour of Norway win doesnt quite equate....

    I think they'll take him regardless. They have little else to build a team around - just getting in breaks. So if he can't do anything then riding with eight isn't going to be much different than riding with nine.

    Depends what the team docs say, I would imagine, and how his body is holding up to the limited racing to date
