Bahrain-Victorius team hotel searched by Danish police this morning, at the request of the French authorities.

Nothing found, but it’s clear that the French investigators think there is something going on.

It's 1998 all over again. I'm still young and life has so much to offer. Good times.

Lovely stuff.

Sweet fixie vibes.

Plenty of stress in the first five stages isn’t there?

Crosswinds on the stage 2 bridge could wreck some GC hopes before they even get to the cobbles.

Latest forecast for stage 2 suggests a block headwind on the bridge.

The bridge is going to be amazing. I took the train across it a few times last week. Would not want to ride it. Edit: different, but similar, bridge. Will be nuts.

I’ve driven over one of those mad scandi bridges. Not sure if it’s this one but it cost about £60.

Fingers crossed it swings around causes chaos.

Stage 4 could be blowy too.

Not sure if it’s this one but it cost about £60.

Could be awkward for the peloton. Do they take contactless payment?

They must have a wireless tag system for frequent users. Might provide a tactical advantage.

Lanterne Rouge have done a 2 hr preview podcast covering all of the stages, teams, jerseys etc

What's the latest Cav could get the call if similar happens in QSAV today? Anyone know if he's in Denmark just in case?

It's beginning: https://twitter.com/SadhbhOS/status/1542449060170317824

Surely he should get in the first breakaway. No one's going to chase down a rider with covid

Jungels fever?

^^ at least they'd do all the graft and not sit in his wind.

Big up @xavierdisley with the preview:

I’ve had Thomas E/w at 25-1 tomorrow. Reckon all the corners mean it might suit a lighter tester and he’ll want to put a marker down.

DNF'ing your last two races before the Tour is a classic double bluff
