Just thought I’d clarify on a small, almost nothing, story that’s getting a bit blown out of proportion for clicks today, with regards for Tour de France selection. In a sporting sense, if a question has been asked about a specific rider, and the answer would be generic to 99% of

riders in a team, it’s only going to be a story about that individual. But it’d be the same answer with [cut] [insert name] if it was asked about anyone else. But the story would have less clicks. Simple.
Personally, I’d always love to go to @letour, or any race, only if I felt I

could add value to the team, or if I believed I held the best chance of success for a team. I think the majority of professionals feel the same about their position.
With a 5 month layoff from racing, every rider is in the same boat with lack of races to show form. I’m very

fortunate with @BahrainMcLaren to be in a team that will look at things logically and put the best team on the start line. With @MikelLandaMeana as a firm GC favourite & with an incredibly talented group of 29 riders, if I do or don’t fit into a specific strategy, I’m confident

it will be on fair judgement and with discussion from people I trust and who are World leaders in the sport, just the same as every other rider on the team.
Hope this clears it up straight from my mouth.
