Marcel Kittel & Nairo Quintana Team so far: Alejandro Valverde - GC Fabian Cancellara - TT/Classics Philippe Gilbert - Classics Luis Leon Sanchez - TT José Joaquín Rojas - Sprinter/Classics Marcel Kittel - Sprinter Nairo Quintana - Climber (someone to correct re: roles)
Two Tyred Joaquim Rodríguez - GC Mark Cavendish - Sprinter Samuel Sánchez - All rounder? Tony Martin - TT Mark Renshaw - Lead out man Bernie Eisel - Lead out train/classics? Is that about right?
Yeah. I think Martin could do very well in one-day races (classics), he hasn't really targeted them though, but in the sim you could do that. Also good for 1-week GCs. Sánchez can't sprint, can do pretty much anything else though. Eisel's main asset is being Cav's roommate.
Team so far: Chris Froome: Leader Cadel Evans: Slightly worse leader Pierre Rolland: Young leader/Mountain domestique Simon Gerrans: Puncheur Rui Costa: Classics/something else Arnaud Démare: Sprinter Andrew Talansky: Mountain domestique Ben Swift: Sprinter Probably about right.
Vincenzo Nibali Peter Sagan Thomas Voeckler Chris Anker Sorensen Thibaut Pinot Daniel Martin Ivan Basso Gustav Larsson Focus towards sprinters next. Need some support acts too.
Think we'll be fine. 500 pro riders in the World Tour teams alone, and we've already drafted some from outside them too.
