Tour Rosters Start Coming In

Posted By Jessica On 18th June 2006 @ 10:49 In Travel Tips | No Comments

Tour de France teams are starting to release their lineups for this year’s race. Last week, Gerolsteiner, Discovery Channel and Liquigas were among those who announced their rosters.

Gerolsteiner lists Levi Leipheimer and Georg Totschnig as co-captains, both with the potential for a podium spot (or at least a high finish) in Paris. Discovery Channel has lost Big Tex, but the team still boasts no less than four riders who could finish high on the GC: George Hincapie, Yaroslov Popovych, Paolo Savoldelli and Jose Azevedo. Liquigas has Stefano Garzelli and Danilo DiLuca leading the team, with perpetual attacker Magnus Backstedt certainly on the lookout for a break or two.
