Lastly, I'll be supporting the Eritreans (obviously), Grmay, Arashiro and Adam 'God' Hansen  

 

Bram Tankink isn't there, so no need to expect special support for the Dutch I guess..

Fantastic to see 7 danes on the startlist. We haven't had this many since 2000. Had Sagan not been on Tinkoff, it would most likely have been 8.

The biggest expectations are of course for Fuglsang, who will be an important helper.

It's especially good to see Chris Anker back in the peloton. He will without doubt take part in some breaks and could possibly end up fighting for a stage win or maybe even the polka dot jersey.

Presentator: Can you present us the team, Peter ?

Sagan: I don´t remember the all names

 

 

Just watched it. Didn't he introduce Kreuziger as the czechoslovakian champion?

yes we have this shared championships each year. one year the host is Slovakia and the next year Czech Republic, last year it was for example Žilina (SVK) and this year Kyjov (CZE) so next year the joint czech and slovak national championship will be again contested in SVK
