Had a spare half hour today so decided to check up to see who's racing what.  Can't put them all down, so here's who caught my eye.  Warning: personal bias will be an issue :)

Amstel Gold:
Jakob, Andy, Valvarde, Quintana, Bouhanni, Sagan, Gilbert, J Rod. Eddy BH, Clockwork Kiryienka, Hesjedal, Tommy V
No Contador or Sanchez

Fleche Wallonne:
Berto, Andy, Jens, Valvarde, Quintana, Gilbert, Jakob, Iglinsky, Gasparotto, Porte, Clockwork Kiryienka, J Rod
No Sagan, Sanchez or Europcar

L-B-L:
Berto, Andy, J Rod, Sanchez, Valverde, Gilbert, Jakob, Froome, Porte,
Wiggo is down as a reserve

Giro:
Nibali, Hesjedal, Gesink, Matti (omg and YAAY), Kittel, the boy Taylor, Cadel
Sky are showing as  Wiggo, Henao, Lopez, Joe Dom, Uran, Clockwork Kiryenka, Cataldo,and  Pate with Kennaugh as reserve.

TDF: very early to say this and lord kows where there info is comig from but Sky are showing so far as: Froome, Wiggo, EBH, Porte and Siutsou. Will there be a place for Bernie???

I got this info from the website PCS They seem to be reliable nearer the actual time of the race  but I'm assuming some of this is here say  I haven't seen anything official from the teams (incl Sky) themselves on a lot of this... but it's fun to speculate YES?

Cadel is riding the Giro, too

Also, yes, I'm sure Bernie will be at the Tour. They'd be stupid not to take him

Of course he is... I forgot that.. Have added it now.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. He can't ride pace up mountains and they won't be hunting sprinter stages. I want him to be there because I will be there ... so am secrtely keeping my fingers crossed.

ETA: OK, you got me again.. who is THAT icon?

You mean I can Matti stalk at the Giro!!! Now I have to visit more teams, this is going to require planning so that I can get the best photos!
