BMC for the Tour:
Evans
Van Garderen
Bookwalter
Burghardt
Gilbert
Moinard
Morabito
Quinziato
Schär
Evans starting his ninth Tour. Strong squad with six riders who helped Evans win in 2011.
Van Garderen will be in support of Evans, & looking for a high overall placing. Favourite for the white jersey.
What are your thoughts on whether the team will switch to TJ being leader mid race if Evans continues to struggle in the hills |

Evans still calls the shots at BMC. It'll take illness or injury for him to quit. Think TJ knows next year will be better opportunities for him, but he'll still be looking for a high finish. |

FDJ, French Pro Continental team:
Bouhanni
Bonnet
Fischer
Fédrigo
Geniez
Jeannesso
Pinot
Roy
Vichot
Lead by Pinot, & has a decent chance to make top 10. Debut for Bouhanni, he'll be in the mix for the sprint stages. Vichot has just won the French Nationals, watch out for a stage win.

Levarlet
Bagot

A strong team, with options in Jerome Coppel, Dani Navarro & Rein Taaramae.
Navarro could make top 10. Also liking the chances of Taaramae for a high overall with his recent National championship win.

20 of the 22 teams confirmed their line ups. I think I've briefly covered them all. Just Garmin & Lampre to confirm.

Garmin have not yet confirmed their squad, but Dan Martin is expected to start. 4/1 top 10, looks a decent sweat. May also be a contender for KOM, but objectives of the team may become clearer after stage 2.
