If Vingo steals this one from him, I’ll be mad.

On Tour form Vingegaard will beat him comfortably, on current form Roglic has an excellent chance, nobody told Ayuso he's there to make up the numbers. Jumbo have easily the strongest team and the potential to work over any other leader, Quickstep's team is weak. There's plenty of outliers, probably not Thomas, who aren't beaten yet either.

Should be the best Grand Tour of the year, again.

It wasn't the best GT of last year. Or the year before that. Or the year before that.

I very much doubt it'll be the best of this year, either.

I very much doubt it'll be the best of this year, either.

Based on a recent Ineos video interview with Thomas, he is SO excited for the vuelta too...

if it isnt, you give me that Colnago for free?

Whatever form he’s on, he should ride for Rog.

My projection/hope is that they both pretend to be going for a win, but secretly will be riding in support of Kuss to pay back all his efforts in their GC wins.

I’d say kuss would be good. I can't see geraint staying upright.

And they reveal it to Sepp on the last day and he’s all ‘gaw shucks’ and still sacrifices himself somehow to give someone else the win?

totally with you on this, we even made a sign! (3 climbs into penultimate stage of the Tour this year - only to see Sepp pass us with a bloody face after the crash on the Ballon d'Alsace descent :-/ )

@dubtap sneaker ID on these please.

Roglic exploring a transfer to Lidl-Trek.

I think it's a bad move. His opportunities to lead the team will be almost non-existent, he's effectively taken the money to be a domestique for Tao.

why cant you see me happy?

They have team issue sneakers

sorry that should have been a reply to @Mickie_Cricket

My thoughts too!

cop or drop?

I believe that under Dutch law they can only be worn with jeggings and no socks, so I'm afraid I'm out.

Other way round.

Damn. That's awful.

He's trialling a new 'safety mode' for when cutting into Fred Wright?
