  • I'd rather Bernal was developed properly and not burned out in his first Tour when he's still very young.. You never know, he might be up for it, but it's a risk, as he's still so young. I do wonder if Tao's down to ride the Tour.

  • I doubt it.

    Sky are very conservative when it comes to team selection for their main objectives. With the cobbled stage, a Team Time Trial and a complicated opening ten days this year, I think they'll go for an experienced line up with their usual mix of climbers and strong rouleurs, something like this;

    Froome
    Thomas
    Kwiatkowski
    Poels
    Moscon
    Henao or Elissonde
    Knees or Rowe
    Van Baarle

  • You recon they'll ask Poels to do a third one in a row, even given his injury earlier this year?

  • Rowe for sure. Has made a good recovery and will sit on the front at the early stages of each stage pretty well.
