Possibly with donkeys.. .although no clue which ones really yet. And not sure they will be there either.

Zhores Kopelyan: Leader!
Gaston Lajeunesse: classic star
Yordan Tabakov: Pave hero
Oton Generalic: Donkey
Spartaco Poggi: Super ape support rider

Those 5 are basically sure. After that..?
Toblerone or Ikhtiyor as second classic or both
Toblerino as second Poggi
Creek as star sprinter
Ghazali as star sprinter or star sprint train member
Borthwick as brit.

Actually, mmh, doesn't look that complicated, sprint team plus Toblerino and the second classic, since Borthwick refuses to train.... Are there any sprint stages?

No Borthwick, no training, no Tour asshole.

1 Z. Kopelyan: Yellow hunter
2 M. Creek: Stage and green hunter
3 O. Generalic: Capitaine de route (he's really talented it seems) and flat helper, possible sprint train opener
4 J. Ghazali: Possible stage hunter, possible sprint train nr 2.
5 G. Lajeunesse: Classic leader, Zhores helper, possible sprint train man
6 S. Poggi: Star of the team, well of the apes. Generalic the real donkey star. Superb all round support rider and escaper
7 Y. Tabakov: Closer on sprint stages, normal helper otherwise
8 I. Tansykbayev: Nr 2 classic man, Zhores helper, flat helper
9 R. Tobler: Mini-Spartaco

Will most likely not be online all the time, might miss full stages too. But not so important, only the tour, who cares really? And if I'm alone I'll win anyway...

Nobody will play! Even if somebody will come it won't be funny cause I am not there! GW!

I should ride here

Yeah, Creek got his stage win already.
Good, now can try to pick and chose which sprint stages I try and which not... My train really too strong to get much help normally, alone can't expect to get the sprint normally.... even today, a second team attacking and I'm basically done. But got the stage today, all good, tour saved.

Tabakov!

Nice win yesterday, but a bit easy

I was really surprised to not see you, BS, superdragoes and quickstep not giving better chances to your GK leaders to loose less time. I decided to keep my team around Royne and Jokubas because I had no chance to win the stage and I thought it would be better to totally control what to do on the cobbles. I did not expect to take so much time, especially that GK is not my aim for this Tour. But it's good I am in position to maybe get the yellow again in few days
Too bad I had to leave for the sprint, because I lost some point to Gore when I was able to get an advantage on him on this sprint.
My team is pretty tired today, but this could have been worse, and I guess it's not better in some other teams

Sad to see what a bad loser OL is.

well, it was fun to watch in in the spectators' lounge

I knew I had no chance, I do not even have a mini-deception or sadness.

More sad to see what you bad winner you make.

It's the past OL, forget it, get over it. Should be easy since you not only had no chance but didn't care one tiny little bit about it, as you repeatedly announced (in between whining about this and that, mostly related to GC tempo strangely enough) Anyway, maybe you learned something about siebing and stuff and will have a chance next time a situation like this arises... who knows. Look forward not backward!

Tempo was stage related or green/team related, and if you did not notice, it worked quite well.

Learnt what ? Still talking about that time Coco attacked ? About that time, I did not learn anything, his attack was counter productive, as his tempo on 6 was counter productive. No need to imagine you dear master of the sieb tought me something there ...

Not me, you yourself, Bales for example....
