Tour de France 2019 **SPOILERS**

[ColinJ]

Thomas was pretty lucky to get away with that, but it isn't ideal preparation for the TdF to be missing the rest of the TdS, and presumably be pretty sore for the next week or so.

One step closer to a French winner....nah !
Gutted Dumoulins out though as well as Froome.The racing so far this season for some reason has been pretty hard to get excited about.Hopefully the Tour will be a bit more open ?

 

[Crackle]

No great surprise after him deciding to miss the training camp, which leaves the winner a bit eeny meeni miny mo. No one looks great, Bernal looked good today, I'm not bothered who wins so long as the racing is exciting and so far it's been shite.

 

[Adam4868]

Can't see past Ineos with Thomas and Bernal to be honest.

Thibot probably regretting not spending the whole winter in the wind tunnel improving his TT position

The way it's worked out, this year was his chance

 

[yello]

I'm looking forward to it more this year than I have for yonks. There's a few that'll fancy their chances so hopefully we're in for a more open and attacking competition.

There is only one individual TT this year and only 27 kms long so not too bad for Pinot I think. If he can get enough time in the mountains, he should be ok.

For the first time in a couple of years I'm starting to think Quintana might actually do something

Jakob Fuglsang Will win the TDF. You can put your house on it.

I don't think he will, he just doesn't have a racing brain. He attacks too early in mountains and runs out of steam. He doesn't plan ahead enough like great champions do.

Alaphillipe?

 

[brommers]

I think Alaphilippe more likely to be going for another jersey, possibly the green, along with the likes of Sagan, GVA, WVA, Matthews and maybe any sprinter that manages to get to Paris.

 

[yello]

Alaphilippe is a local (ish) lad. Local media already cream themselves when he does well so him winning the TdF (any jersey) would be cause for regional euphoria! Not much happens around here... sporting wise, only the Bourges women's basketball team seem to make the headlines with any regularity.
