Have had a look at the stage profiles. It looks like a very demanding course. The opening week has 3 consecutive uphill finishes!

Shall we have a sweepstake on how many team leaders that Movistar have?

It's on itv4 in some form. I'll bet highlights only, 7pm race days only, presented from London.

Well, three doesn't seem to work, maybe they best just go for Eight?

Castroviejo put in a big shift in the Tour so I'm surprised to see him there.
No Sivakov either.
Rosa and de la Cruz is a bit of baggage and Ellisonde has underperformed for Skineos.
Hopefully Thomas's improving form will be carried over.

I've got my eye on Pogacar for this one. Could be a breakthrough race for him.

Shame if hes not riding.

If I recall it appeared to be presented from inside a wardrobe in Gary Imlach's mums back bedroom last year.

A wardrobe would probably echo less!

I'm imagining it full of biege chinos and Fred Perry polo shirts ?
