"Just like the past couple of years, it has been a very difficult decision
because there have been several excellent riders in our consideration for the
nine spots for the Tour. The riders have really timed their shape perfectly so
it was a luxury problem having to choose. But now we have picked nine riders
which together form an extremely strong lineup which could help dominating the
course from the beginning to the end", said team owner Bjarne Riis.
"With Fabian in peak shape it is clear that we have a perfect chance of
taking the yellow jersey from the start and there is absolutely no doubt that
this is what we are here for. At the same time, we have a homogeneous and
powerful team for the team time trial and it should form the foundation for our
efforts in the overall standings.
In Frank and Andy Schleck, we have two super-powerful cards to play and the
rest of the guys will be able to give them the right support. We believe in a
fantastic Tour de France for Team Saxo Bank."
