If anything I feel like there's been so much drama this year that it may overshadow Thomas (G)'s win, especially if he doesn't win it again.
Movistar's multiple leaders all looking a little under cooked, Nibles crashing, all the sprinters out, more crashes hampering those that didn't have to pull out, punctures ruining it for Bardet, Barguil joining a worse team, everyone getting tear sprayed, all the main GC riders having to go for wins because they lost too much time too early. It's been good watching but it has become Sky vs Dumoulin. Even Froome looks too shagged to do any decent attacks.
The best part about this tour so far has been Alaphilippe and the race for polka dots.
Alaphilipe has been excellent.
Yes the GC race would have been better if Porte and Nibali hadn't crashed but the tour overall has still been most enjoyable. And it's not over yet.
