Aye…it’s a shame he won’t be there….not just riding well but climbing well on his last outing.
DID you see the WVA result today?

Astana looking very Astana….good stuff.Quickstep have gone for more strength in the ITT and sprints by including Lampert & Asgreen, they will also help when they are chasing. Sensible decision imo.
Wellens is going to struggle with the heat, not sure how Benoot is when it is hot.

Mrs Winston has played a blinder again this year by booking our holiday for the first half of the TDF back in the same place as last year with the almost non existent internet connection. Undaunted i’ve Been out today and got myself a couple of TDF magazines to help me along. I can confirm that Froome, Dumoulin, Simon Yates and Roglic are heavily tipped in the “one to watch” section….

When they raced together in UAE Tour it seemed to work very well. Kristoff must be reasonably happy with the situation as he just signed for another year.

Only one team declared so far….Team Jumbo-Visma
Kruiswijk, Groenewegen, Van Aert the obvious picks.
I can see Kruiswijk possibly ending up in a lot of purist teams…Bernal, Fuglsang and co will be expensive bit Kruiswijk’s results have been a bit meh this year…so he might turn out to be affordable when picking our teams alongside a more expensive pick or two for up the mountains.
