I was thinking about Thibaut Pinot from FDR, who had a great TDF, but he was invisible during the Veulta, so I'm not sure how to read him yet. Garmin has 3 GC contenders in Talansky, Hesjedal and Martin, so maybe one of them will look to make a move?
Pinot already is his team's GC guy. He might be happier with more support, but I don't think moving to Katusha would do it.
Garmin always seems like a mess strategy wise, and now they will have the dregs from Cannondale to work in to the mix. They certainly have some good riders, but for them along with BMC the sum always seems less than the parts.
