Did Vayer see the weather conditions for both?

Did Cavendish just book his tour ride?

Also this Swiss cobbled climb looks glorious.

The waterfall at Santa Petronilla that they went past earlier was jaw dropping, would like to visit when we’re allowed to travel again

What's in that massive backpack Brailsford is always wearing at the finish?

Deliveroo for the lads.

If bennet is out, how can they not take cav? Some might complain about the quality of the field he beat in Turkey, but there can be no such complaints here. The only place you are likely to see a stronger field of sprinters is in the tour itself.

That's not Brailsford, it's one of the soigneurs. He'll have clothing, drinks, food, etc. in there to give to the riders as they finish.

All bald men in masks look alike.

I’m really looking forward to seeing where Rog is at for this TdF. He must be IN THE ZONE.

Taking into the account of anything other than just cycling up a road would mean common sense would be applied.

I hope he doesn’t crush the tour. Else in future most/all tour contenders will skip the may/June races to train in the way he has done.

Yes, that’s possible. But then the May/June races could open up like the Giro did last year? Despite it missing the big contenders, there was great racing and it was a joy to watch some young guns battle it out.

Dunbar isn't a fan of the bubbly water.

True

Decent (for cyclingnews) interview with James Shaw, after his impressive ride in Slovenia last week:

ToB later in year for Froomedog?

I didn't particularly like the 'froome-era', particularly the sky-train-not-winning-a-stage-but-winning-the-tour latter part, but now i would kinda like to see a shock comeback.

Eh? Froome won at least 1 stage in 2013, 2015 and 2016 when he took home the yellow jersey.

TJ looks to have retired.
We all know what that means
