AG2R (Botcharov)
STEPHEN: Botchorov conquered Ventoux. That’s pretty damn impressive, so even though this is a second level team, I think they are slightly above FDJ, Brioches, and Delatour. Kispiruu is a good sprinter, Botchorov can climb, and Brochard is pretty solid. I think they’ve got a decent team. They won’t win anything, but they aren’t a complete joke.
JASON: For years they’ve relied on Jaan Kispiruu to be a top sprinter so that people will remember they are in the Tour. Botcharov, Brochard, and Chaurreau–maybe one might find his way into the top 25, but they’re not threats. But the good news is AG2r might actually have riders within camera range when the race hits the mountains. That’s an improvement.
STEPHEN: OK, the more I think about it, the more I think that was just the mushrooms talking. AG2R ain't nearly as good as FDJ. They are a bad team with one good sprinter (Kispiruu), and he has little chance of
winning the Green.
