I know this is slightly off topic, but if Froome did win the Vuelta, would he go and have a crack at the Giro?

I think his main target is 5 TdFs

 

[Stonechat]

If Froome does not win then It could be someone who has not won a GT before

Does anyone know if there is a televised team presentation a la TdF?

At 2.04m tall, will Conor Dunne of Aqua Blue Sport become the tallest rider in Grand Tour history?

I just remembered that this time last year, we were all looking forward to Hugh Carthy making his Grand Tour debut...

And then he went to the Black Hole team...

I just spotted that there is a 3rd Cat climb on the TTT route and checked the rules for scoring: "Along The first stage, team time trial Nîmes-Nîmes, the points for the Nimes Climb (3rd categories), will be owarded according to the first tree riders of the fastest team in that climb."

Apart from me thinking that nobody will be riding a tree, it also got me thinking that it might be worth some velogames points...and I think I have the very rider to be wearing GC and KOM jersey at the end of the TTT
