Team Tinkoff-Saxo today revealed the nine-man roster, which will start in the 2014 Tour de France hoping to secure an overall race victory for Alberto Contador.

For the second straight year, a dark horse has won the Amstel Gold Race. Last year, Enrico Gasparotto (Astana) did the trick. Today, Roman Kreuziger (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff) took the Netherlands’ biggest classic.
