Stage one is a short ITT, only 8km, but has 2km at 9.7% at the finish, so there could be a few gaps early on.
Can't wait.

He seems to have gone off the boil since his injury a year ago (?) He's an obvious choice though given TGH, and Sivakov"s ages.

Me too, it's my favourite Grand Tour. However, I may have a bit of a nap for the first half. Second half looks amazing
