I'll aim to post thoughts on my team later but for now here is my TDU team: Simon Yates Mattia Cattaneo Lucas Plapp Leo Hayter Rohan Dennis Mikkel Honore Max Schachmann Very happy to have 7 riders - I'm hoping Schachmann and Cattaneo can top 20 (minimum) and I'm optimistic Dennis, Plapp and...

I'd expect them to try use their numbers to make a late solo move (last 3 laps), someone like Harper/Hamilton or even Durbridge beforehand. That'll force Vine, Plapp, O'Connor etc to chase and I don't think they'll have the firepower to claw them back if they've had to work earlier. If they can...

Have just submitted my team, looking forward to following along as the CQ season goes on!

Roglic Dumoulin Pinot Points: Roglic

GW: Sam Bennett

It's such a disappointing occurrence, last year he didn't show much before the Giro and then this year he swapped that around and both times he lost huge chunks on one day. Even if it was a bad day for him he should still not have lost that much. If he re-finds his form from early 2018 Giro or...

I've been to around 4 TDU's, always a fun event and exciting to see the sign-on + riders at the start. Other than that I've watched three TDF stages, 2 in 2013, the Nice TTT and the stage to Aix 3 Domaines. Both were exciting, Greenedge won and then I was at the point where Froome attacked...

Yeah it seemed a bit odd, once he couldn't gain a gap he should have committed to Impey rather than try attack again. Schultz, Howson and Smith all rode out of their skins, but Yates should have attacked as soon as the last of them peeled off rather than let Impey ride on the front for 10...

I'll suggest Ackermann, Ewan and Gaviria as well as other riders who should be in the top 10 for the next decade. All of the 3 have the capability to be a WC if there is a sprinter's WC and they seem to be the cream of the young sprinters coming through. How they evolve will also shape how they...
