Tour De France 2018

Well thats one less racist ...

Why I oughta!

Remarkable insights in the Mirror... https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/cycling/tour-de-france-2018-guide-12815139.amp

My god, that's hilarious-football does cycling for a day and discovers it can't spell any of the names. Author obviously does not give a fuck-some of the 'insights' are pure lols

Cannondale-Drapac

Star man: Andrew Tolansky

Race plan: The American just missed out on a top 10 finish three years
ago, but will be aiming to at least repeat that feat this time around.
It all depends on whether his teammates are disciplined enough to
stick with him and not break away, though.

Cofidis

Star man: Nacer Bouhanni

Race plan: Cofidis aren’t usually a team that stick together, and
isolating Bouhanni may sound like a poor tactic, but his sprint
finishes are normally something to behold.

Direct Energie

Star man: Thomas Voeckler

Race plan: One of the home teams will fancy their chances if their
talismanic figure Voeckler is protected sufficiently and is allowed to
do his own thing in the climbs.

FDJ

Star man: Thibaut Pinot

Race plan: They like a breakaway, do FDJ. Pinot will be hoping to win
at least one stage, if he is aided well.

Fortuned-Vital Concept

Star man: Dan McLay

Race plan: Breakaways. Lots, and lots, of breaks.

I don't know about mis-spelled names--I can see a total of two riders' names and two team names that are mis-spelled. But yes, the insights are amazing, mainly because the writer seems to think that sprinters give a stuff about the GC.

Lotto-Soudal

Star man: Andre Greipel

Race plan: Greipel is known as a ferocious sprinter, and will be looking with eagerness at the flat stages early on to try and shave some minutes off his overall time.

The team-by-team section is very sloppily edited.

That's the same link that Malaconotus posted.

Sky team announced;

Froome
Thomas
Bernal
Rowe
Poels
Kwiatkowski
Castroviejo
Moscon

Doh! It was early in my defence.

Froome to crash out early, leaving Geraint as leader. I'd like that, I would.

Sky team announced:

Froome
Testosterone
Bernal
Rowe
Prednisone
Kwiatkowski
Salbutamol
Moscon

I can see Froome crashing out before G... not.

Crash Bandigeraint.

This did occur to me as I wrote it.

So Bernal goes... interesting move, be good to see how much help he is in the mountains

Shame no Tao. I know it was always very unlikely but I did hope.

Prednisone sounds like a controlled substance. Will we see Froome Daaaawg feasting on his sweat?

Balls out time for Bernal...

Wish Movistar would just pick Landa as leader so we can have an all out grudge match.

bingo!

Oh shit. I whooshed myself.

The fucking shame.

@andyp will never let me forget this.

:)

Bernal to do a 2012 Froome

I think he will be the best man on any/every mountain

this!
