  • What are you thinking of as Sky unfriendly? Moving the race to May in Italy initially springs to mind..

  • Minimal individual time trials, if any, and no mountain top finishes. Lots of medium mountain stages on roads rarely used by the Tour.

  • Yeah, lots of short stages, harder to control in theory.

    Sky probably have more of an advantage next year though; reducing the teams to 8 riders means they'll have less of the chaff in other team to dispose of in the mountains, no?

  • Depends who is best placed to beat Froome doesn't it? For Dumoulin, something like the 2011 tour, maybe with some cobbles thrown in as well?
