COFIDIS (Moncoutie)
JASON: If you want to build an overrated team, I suggest you build it around David Millar. He, Cedric Vasseur, and David Moncoutie are all adequate riders, but their not TdF studs. Imagine CSC without Hamilton and Sastre.
STEPHEN: Moncoutie and Lelli both finished top 15 in the last Tour and the chances of either of them repeating that feat aren’t very good. This is David Millar’s team, and it’s his job to actually manage to stay on his bike this year. He has two stage wins all-time to his credit, and the Brits love to overhype their boys, but Millar’s got a legit shot to… nope, couldn’t type it without laughing. He’ll finish in 20th or so. It’ll be his best finish ever by a wide margin.
JASON: Millar’s aim for the GC will end on the second big climb of the Tour, assuming he doesn’t crash in the first week.
STEPHEN: Kivilev's death still haunts this team. I can't imagine them having a good Tour. It's one thing to lose a talented rider, it's another to have him die in a race.
JASON: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that. Even though they are a functional team again, it's still not quite right knowing a teammate died in a race just a few months ago.
