Boom(Rabo's team leader for this)
Westra(Another overall threat)
Steegmans(sprints and TT's pretty well)
Phinney(my pick to win overall!!)
Boeckmans(after Moser was delisted....can he continue TDF form?)

I don't really know what to expect, so I've gone mainly sprinty for today, primarily from teams that should do OK in the TTT, and then have 4 transfers for stage 3 once I've seen who's in form.

Haussler
Roelandts
Boonen
Bos
Blythe (probably silly but feeling patriotic at the mo!)
Kristoff
Demare
Guarnieri
Rosseler

Blythe has good form from Paris-Correze and BMC should do well in the TTT so not a bad pick at all.

Cool, thats good news about Paris-Correze, I hadn't noticed that. Yes it was with half an eye on the TTT, nearly went for a second BMC rider too but copped out in the end.
