As my preferred times for longer tours (20 h and 21 h) are not rode, I will start here. The line-up is not finally decided, we will play "Reise nach Jerusalem" with 9 chairs and 11 riders:
The sprinters:
Sophus Lie: hopes to be delivered to 100 m in up to five stages
Andres Carrasco: aspires to be the leader, is confident he has the best chances for green in the team, and urges the manager to keep Sophus at home
Myron Scholes: either as the lead-out for the Sophus train or a more flexible helper for Andres. Will have to do some work in the groupetto, as in the Giro
The classics:
Thorvald Thiele: the not really GC rider in the team. Can aim for hilly stages and do some long-range moves there or in the high mountains.
Marek Kac: the downhill classic as a helper, or to try something himself, wants his chance after missing the Giro
Adriaan Fokker: with decent mountain and sprint, he hopes to get a spot despite his downhill and reg. With him in the team, we will have to act more passively.
Jonas Mockus: Hopes to get his first Grand Tour at 21, even if he is not ready for big things yet. Downhill and reg are an asset here, and he will train before and during the Tour. Angry that he was not allowed to set a form for this month.
The flat guys:
Humberto Maturana: Will ride a lot for sprints and in escapes, and then ride some more.
Lauri Vaska: The closer and now the experienced road captain for the team
Norbert Wiener: a reliable flat helper in his prime
Loup Verlet: good flat/downhill combination, still young
The final decision will be made on the day of the first stage after training.

Re: Early evening Tour
The Trojers will start here again ... Watch out for the stagehunterssquad and Mr. Top10:
The designated leaders:
1) Roland Symonette - Mr. Multifunctional 1 - Here to scare superclassics and block finishes besides winning stages
2) Andres Caceres - Mr. Multifunctional 2 - 3 Giro stages and a top 10 - He wants more ... either on his own or for olena
The possible leader:
3) Olena Horodna - Mrs. Maybe Green - Here it will depend much on the field ... from serial winner and green contestant to first riding classic all is possible
The mountain helpers:
4) Hamid Awate - Mr. Backup - He will most likely be the one of our classics that rides the first long stint
5) Jarno Widar - Mr. Newbie - The belgian closes the two big holes in our team siebing and early downhill ... and this reg
6) Edgar Tekere - Mr. Battery - Due to his reg he cant ride much be he is always in front for a long time giving water away ... and waits for the one big attack
The flat helpers:
7) Carlton Trumpelton - Mr. Whatthere for - He is just here because of some reg and some hill so he wont be siebed that early
8) Thomas Sankars - Mr. Lung - With his reg and flat he will be the one to take groups back when they reached their max gap
9) Niels McDonald - Mr. Deuce - The young tennis player came here due to his horselung that will allow him to keep groups in good distance

Scandalous that this clone gets a passport!
Kraftsystemrevision! Include the distance!
Basics reform: Give blue a chance!
Don't punish bugusers. We all have to use bugs, since most of them are declared as "features"!
Got a carrot from FL. But they threaten to take it away now.

Re: Early evening Tour
Team presentation: Hoefs Cycling Team.
April was the first racing season of this small team. We immediately put ourselves in the spotlight, resulting in a wildcard for the Giro.
The Giro went great with 4 stage wins and the points jersey!
We continued our performance well at the national championships: 2 championship victories and 5 podium finishes. Just before that, Laszlo had won a stage in France.
We couldn't be denied a wildcard for The Tour de France!
These achievements have not gone unnoticed and we have therefore managed to secure a co-sponsor: Mint Green Popcorn
Thanks to an investment, we recently attracted our young leader.
Our goals for this Tour: a jersey, top 10 GC and a stage win.
(Hajsafi was close today, but Andrade was better)
