Astana has revealed its short list for the upcoming Tour de France.
Fifteen riders are vying for nine spots on the Astana tour squad, which will be anchored by returning seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong and 2007 Tour winner Alberto Contador.
Also all but assured of spots are Tour podium finishers Levi Leipheimer and Andreas Klöden.
Other riders on the Astana list are Haimar Zubeldia, Maxim Iglinskiy, Dmitriy Muravyev, Chris Horner, Benjamin Noval, Sergio Paulinho, Yaroslav Popovych, Janez Brajkovic, Gregory Rast, Tomas Vaitkus and, despite problems with his whereabouts, Assan Bazayev.
Astana team spokesman Philippe Maertens told VeloNews a final decision about the team’s nine-man roster would be made after the Tour de Suisse later this month.
