57% of the top 14.
With the cutoff guys at 10 seconds, although Discovery likes to finish
together. So I can see them taking any team time trial at the Tour,
with the following caveats of ignorance:
1. Assuming there is a TTT in this years Tour
2. Assuming that Discovery is invited. I closed down my Tour legal
department and no longer follow the nuances of this
3. Assuming that all countries transited in this year's Tour permits
Team Discovery. This may eventually require that the entire Tour
be run in Luxembourg
4. Assuming that there is a Tour this year (see 2)
5. And assuming that Pro Cycling doesn't hire Davey to shut down the
whole pro cycling thing and execute the survivors, which BTW, I
think Davey will do for free and the expense of his bullets
