The Colombian men's road team.

Dutch men's road team:

 

Steven Kruijswijk

Wout Poels

Tom Dumoulin

Bauke Mollema

 

 

Seriously, what on earth is Kruijswijk doing there? 

Such a typical move, "Kruijswijk had a great Giro, let's select him for the Olympics", which is a 10000% different kind of race...Robert Gesink should have been there in his place without any doubt.

Well, maybe it's a prize?

Why would they give a prize to someone who has no reason to be in the Olympic road race instead of giving the spot to someone who actually has a reason to be there?

They don't really have criteria for the road race, it's just up to the coach who he selects  

[heywoodu 15,172]

The Belgian pre-selection has been made, with Gilbert added in the last minute after saying he'd like to go. No Tiesj Benoot: he wanted to be added in the team but only if he could be sure to go to Rio after the Tour de Suisse. Coach said he couldn't guarantee it yet, so no Benoot.

 

Jan Bakelants, Ben Hermans, Greg Van Avermaet, Serge Pauwels, Laurens De Plus, Louis Vervaeke, Tim Wellens, Bart De Clercq en Philippe Gilbert.
