Tao Geoghan Hart

Sounds Irish to me.

That's why I said "some kind of Gaelic" - don't ask me to place it more precisely than that!

I googled him earlier today and his name is actually
Geoeghgan Hart and the middle G is silent according to Wiki
Tao Geoghegan Hart TAY-oh GAY-ən HAHT is a British cyclist, currently competing for Team Sky.
And 'e 'ails from 'ackney, innit.

p.s. And so is the 3rd one, I now notice!

Kwiatkowski definitely ready to be chasing GCs but would Sky support a forrin rider for top spot?

Yes, it would be great PR if they did. I can't see any Brit up for the vuelta anyhow so they've no choice.

They often give a non-Brit the team leadership for the Giro - Porte in 2015, Landa in 2016 & 17. They even let Cataldo have a go in 2014.

Henao was team leader for the Vuelta in 2013 but Froome has been greedy and kept the job for himself ever since.

I reckon it'll be de la Cruz

Just use TGH -that's what I do.

That's what I thought Marmy. Lightly raced this season, and a good climber.

Sky team for Vuelta a Burgos. I don't see the team for the Vuelta being much different to this.

De La Cruz, Kiryienka, Elissonde, Lopez, Seb Henao, TGH, Deignan

I was sort of hoping Kwiatowski would ride.But your probally not far off.

According to TCS he is on the list for the Vuelta so that's 8, the quota

 

[brommers]

Diego Rosa would be another option as a support rider - he done a good job at the Vuelta last year and didn't do the Tour or the Giro this year.

 

[Crankarm]

Apart from Froome probably being totally knackered now, his wife is heavily pregnant so by the Vuelta he should be too busy with family matters for a few months?

LoL. He can't be that knackered.
