I thought Sagan had a really good chance this year when the flat sprinting specialists were kicked out for not making the time limit, but then he had that heavy crash

He could have won the Tour 7 times in a row with better luck and a team devoted only to him. He had a Tour-winning level of performance every year since 2012

Re: Re: Agree with 1.5

What's the over/under in GTs won for young Geraint?

Thomas is like a young Froome, only he's really old

Can't wait to see this guy help Thomas and Froome win many more GTs

The historic quadruple is over but valiant effort

If it weren't for Froome's legendary 80km attack at the Giro, Dumoulin would be on track to do the best Giro Tour double since Pantani
