1. Basso
2. Ullrich
3. Valverde or Popovych
This is strange from the TM website:
"Olaf Ludwig is also taking a new approach to selecting the team squad for the Tour de France. Together with Rudy Pevenage the team manager already announced the core squad during the second week at camp. If all goes to plan, the following riders will take their places alongside captain Jan Ullrich at the Tour: Serhiy Honchar (Ukraine), Andreas Klöden (Germany), Eddy Mazzoleni (Italy) and Michael Rogers. The other four spots in the Tour roster are still vacant – candidates are Lorenzo Bernucci and Giuseppe Guerini (both Italy), Sergej Ivanov (Russia), Oscar Sevilla (Spain), Matthias Kessler, Stephan Schreck, and Patrik Sinkewitz (all Germany)."
Of course it's evident some of the people in the running for the final four spots are better than others for JU. Guerini should be on, and Sevilla will be a lot more useful than Kessler, Schreck and Ivanov. Sinkewitz would be another preferable member.
