Thanks - that makes sense. If Valverde wins, I’m off cycling for good. I don’t want Alaphilippe to win either. He’s annoyed me this year.

Hirschi is 14/1 and I’m going to have a few quid.

Cant find the odds for the ITT, but given the parcours im thinking Dennis for third year in a row. Not quite hilly enough for the roglic but probably too rolling for Ganna. Not much of a form guide going given there havent been many ITT since the restart

Nibali should do alright on a course like this too?

Quite a big list of riders looking strong right now for whom the parcours seems doable - van aert, alaphilippe, maybe even Pedersen or some of the Sunweb riders.

For TT, Ganna is my favourite, but it is apparently not very technical, so could also be something for Van Aert or Campenaerts

søren kragh probably worth a punt if he's riding

Yeah, maybe Ganna or WvA

Also, wouldnt be surprised if some of the Jumbo Visma guys do some work for Van Aert or drop a gap when he goes

Yeah, I don't think the Belgian elite team need a huge amount of outside help....
Benoot, Naesen, Serry, Stuyven, Van Aert, Van Avermaet, Vliegen, Wellens

Would have also had Evenepoel probably had he not been injured.

he aint

he is out

Yeah? I've not seen that mentioned anywhere.

He's not on the list, so he's not coming in.

Huh, surprising no cycling media has written about that.

Sagan? He is on that list.

GB'S lineup for the TT is interesting Bingham should have been going for the hour record about now.

Sorry, mixed up who was replying to who. Sagan is on the list, Søren Kragh Andersen isn't.

French authorities raided Quintana at the tour. Supposedly looking for doping related items.

Public prosecutor from Marseille opens a preliminary investigation into a team, believed to be Arkéa-Samsic reports AFP, after discovery of "numerous health products including medicine... and especially a method that could be considered doping"

might want to get a better dealer, lads

I was reading about this earlier. They raided their hotel rooms without involving the French anti doping agency which is a bit weird

One doctor and one physio arrested.

Did you make this yourself or was it a commission? Presumably it will be painted on the wall of your shed?
