no-one looking in great form

Other than Pinot, Fugglesang, Landa, Poels?

Not won a GT yet....

But yes, the absence of proven GT winners through injury and the lack of dominant form by the likes of Thomas and Quintana opens up the race to those riders. Nibali looked strong in the Giro, but then he rode the Giro. It is telling that the defending champion's chances aren't being talked up much and instead Bernal is installed as favourite.

Bernal won Paris Nice, which is a better result than Geraint Thomas has managed so far, and given Bernal's hype for the Giro deferred now to the Tour after his collarbone break, no wonder he's being talked up.

Will be interesting to see how he races the last few days of Tour de Suisse.
