Bit surprised all of the Norwegians pulled out. I'd get Valnes and even Klaebo of the front group, and Krueger had no real reason to race with how far he was down but surprised the others opted out, and Niskanen aswell.

Sounds like chances of a crash are high then :(

Whats the best they can do at this point in time? Atm, they have Max Walscheid, Domenico Pozzovivo, Andreas Stokbro, Michael Gogl, Dylan Sunderland, and Victor Campenaerts, and seems Carlos Barbero. I'd imagine they'll keep van Rensburg, Dlamini and Thomson, so they're up to 10. Out of who's...

Kinda depends though, like Movistar are the Spanish team, so they'll always have an excellent chance of getting talented Spanish riders. For Belgium, Wanty will be competing for the riders that QS or Lotto don't want. Qhebaka are just fecked as they were fighting for a sponsor for so long...

Tbf, that Jumbo team likely replaces Jansen with Kruijswijk which is a massive improvement for the mountains. Never mind that Bennett was suffering with injuries and Dumoulin is still not back to his best. That team gets massively stronger when all on form. Course, Roglic will be the determining...

True, but Marcato will be 37 by next season. They should be getting a bit younger than that. Laengen would be a decent resigning. Should resign Polanc too imo

According to PCS, Laengen or Marcato aren't on their team. If they got Ganna, that'd be great for them. Outside him, likes of Boassen Hagen would be good with his experience, maybe someone like Kreuziger would be handy like Gesink for Jumbo, Lutsenko would be higher priced but excellent for...

Dangerous finish again?

Another sprint stage would be disappointing. It's 2020 so that's what we'll get I suppose

All the GC lads just stopped after the 3k mark I guess as could see none of them there, although with rain jerseys becomes tougher

Doesn't look big enough for him to be there imo

Doesnt look like he's getting far from the peleton if those gaps are right. Cattaneo I think has this with the run in

Running out of men too early every time

As much as I'll miss cycling after this end on Sunday, I'm glad I'll have months free of Kirby,Kelly, Hatch and Smith.

Probably won't but might as well just sit on and see how things go, or do token efforts. Sitting in the back of the group won't hurt much more than just sitting in the peleton
