I think it would do the race good to have a French winner.
So do I. But who? Bardet doesn't quite have it, nor does Pinot and Barguill appears to have retired.

Bardet has been the closest but he hasn't managed to push on in the last couple of years. I like him as a rider, it's a shame he hasn't quite got it to win.
I hope I'm wrong!

Watched Bardet’s time trial today and it’s still a huge weakness.
I can’t see any of them doing better than the podium in reality.

Last year’s winner wouldn’t be a bad bet.
It partially solves the leadership issue for Sky in that they now only have two riders to keep happy.
Sky have by far the strongest team but it’s a cruel sport and it doesn’t take much to derail plans.
I hope they don’t win it again. I think it would do the race good to have a French winner.
