Place where to discuss TdF.
Froom is out (thank God that fall was not even more serious) of the race, so who's your bet? Will Thomas defend the title? First title for Colombians? Share your predictions below. I'lll reply in couple days, have to do tiny research.
- TOP3 general
- best sprinter (points classification)
- best young rider
- best climber (polka dot)
Here is my list and will be waiting for yours. Not sure who will lead INEOS as Thomas has been quiet while the young Colombian can strike strongly but his experience is questionable.
Top three general -> 1. Bernal 2. Pinot 3. Fuglsang
Sprinter jersey -> Sagan
White jersey -> Bernal
KOM -> Landa
Tour without Cavendish? o_O
Surprise, surprise!
I didn't expect Peter to be in top trio. The Dutch guy was among the dark horse contenders, but I'm still very surprised :o
Didn't take long for Viviani to score that 1st W

Alaphilippe taking over the yellow jersey. Is he the dark horse GC contender or just kicking those stages and gathering points? Definitely the latter for me, but not sure what the others think?

Yeam, it's very unlikely. We'll see if he can keep it until the Pau ITT
He himself said: "I'm just going to try to keep the jersey as long as I can and test my limits" (

Haha
How about Thomas + Bernal opening that -1.40 gap against Fuglsang, Pinot, Porte and other on such supposedly relaxing pre rest day?
