He can add TT grunt and flat grunt. Reckon he can do the job in GT’ s.

Forgot to add Roglic for the ITT.

She has no ■■■■■■ clue about any sport whatsoever… I cringed when she came on the cycling scene a little while ago.

She has no clue, period.

Durbo riding last for OS, looks like he’s going to have a crack at it.

I’ve seen her at Herald Sun stages, she probably volunteered to cover cycling so she could get out of the office all day on sunny days in summer. She also pops up on channel 7 when they have rights, I think it is Cadel Evans race they have, but only doing crowd interviews. Seems the producers know to keep her away from any expert race commentary.

I take it doumlin isnt riding tour defrance…

Nope.

Valverde out with a broken kneecap.
Durbo in very serious doubt for stage 2.
Thomas uses his English weather specialization to with the ITT, and Sky have 4 in the top 10.
Froome has a handy buffer, to start, but it also means Sky have to work much harder to protect the yellow from the get go.

Sky 4 in the top 8. Impressive
I think its good skys in yellow. I like geraint thomas.
Froome best out of the contenders, i was just happy porte got through unscathed after seeing valverde crash out.

Sky used their English weather expertise!

Doesn’t do the teams chances a lot of good.

No issue with Durbridge trying to win a stage which suited him. Had Thomas as one of the leading contenders for the stage.

Durbridge will probably miss 3 or 4 weeks with his injury. Will he ride the Vuelta.

Raining again with 48km to go in stage 2. It vould end up being a crap shoot.

Kittel out of no where!

Also…

Thought there would be a crash. I ponder you this question. Crash caused by rider error yet peleton Sat up and waited for Froome, Bardet ETC. Yet crash in Giro caused by an official yet attack. A strange peleton.

Have no doubt that on his day Kittel is the fastest in the peleton. Think Demare can feature in the finish of stage 2. Won a similar stage in PN.

Stage three is really for the classics specialists.
GVA, Gilbert, Sagan or even Matthews. Demare could figure, but I favour the other 4.

How good. Drift!
