Team camps (Adam Yates, Herrada confirmed). Who are missing? . Vingegaard, van Aert and Pogecar obviously. Skjelmose, van Eetvelt and Lenny Martinez are already confirmed for not starting the TDF. Poels said he was on the longlist and may do an individual altitude stage.

Some fun info from @Nieuwsblad_be . Mollema is the only rider in the tour without a device on the handlebars. He had it tested and it's more aero. And saves some weight without the bracket.

MvdP interview:.Again no Strade Bianche. He will try to extend his spring campaign to include LBL. He often trains with Remco in Spain. Trains more on duration. He has to decide between MTB olympics or TDF. They can't be combined. He wouldn't step out the TDF early for MTB. via.

Tim Wellens talks about difference in Training at UAE vs Lotto. Higher heartrate (65-75% of maximum hartrate) and normalized watts closer to average watts. That makes he can't train with others, Too fast for Stuyven. Wellens fears losing sprint ability.
