Doing it over three weeks seems to have been a problem for Pinot.
He’s 29 now so if he’s going to step up, it needs to happen soon.
I’d completely forgotten Kenny Elissonde was at Sky until I just looked at the start list. They don’t let him out if his box often do they?

It's nice they're giving Elissonde a start I also keep forgetting him; seems like he's not done much with Sky/Ineos over the last few years. I didn't realise he was relatively so young as he's been around for years. This is his 9th full season in the world tour and he's only 27.
Warren Barguil is a bit of a disappointment. Pissed off to Arkea Samsic because he wasn't allowed to freelance on Sunweb and had some sort of belief that he'd be romping to KoM jerseys or high GC placings all over the place. Then he had that shit-fit at Look which was rumoured to have been less about the bikes he was riding and more because he wanted his bike shop(s?) to be the only Look dealers in the area and they declined.
As for Bardet, it does seem he is doing a Schleck and refusing to learn to TT well enough to sustain a GC bid.

Pinot is going well this year? TTing marginally better than Bardet.
Would love to see Ineos pick up Pinot and drag him to a title. French fans wouldn't know if they should throw flowers or piss.
