My pick would be Robert Gesink and Mike Teunissen as the last two. Gesink has been around the block a few times and his experience would help. Teunissen can help on the sprints, flats and medium mountains and help out Wout, and Gesink would help on the medium and high mountain stages.
Roglic - Leader
Vingegaard - Co-leader
Wout - Green and sprints
Kuss - High mountains
Kruijswijk - High mountains
Dennis - Flats, sprints and medium mountains
Gesink - Medium and high mountains
Teunissen - Flats, sprints and medium mountains
Wout- Green and sprints and high mountains
Kidding of course. But, I just rewatched Stage 15 where Sepp won in Andorra the other night. Probably my favorite day of the tour. 30 man break, which Wout helps drive. Sprints for KOM. Hangs with Nairo, Gaudu and Valverde, etc. And. Sets up Sepp for the win, while still there if Vingegaard needs him. .
Speaking of. What a boss GT is. A week after popping out his shoulder, still there ratcheting the pace up the final climb (right after summitting the highest point of the race) trying to shake Pog and Jonas so Richie can launch.
No injuries...this year is going to be nasty.
