? Porte has always shown his best in 20' efforts.

The Betancur-Bardet X MEN couple will destroy all the field... maybe only the World Champion has to say something about.

The last time Roman Kreuziger won a 1 week race the human race was in the Middle Ages... The whole career in Top Teams and never been able to ride consistently.

Extreme temperatures, short climbs of high percentages, some "favourites" out of form... Leopold König.

I suspect Gerrans is not yet at his full potential in terms of climbing power... Very shintomatyc (write like this?:D) the fact that he beat Greipel yesterday. His current fitness is best suited for the sprints. So my bet is on Diego Ulissi, stage and for the overall.

Any news about Aru's programme?

And what happened the whole season? We can't skip the reality in this way...

This Contador lacks anaerobic power both in the climbs and ITT's, which was his main gun in the past. Xplosiveness is going down... so there's no way he could make the gaps of previous years.

Chris Froome had behind him a PERFECT campaign. Contador needed to resurrect and clearly failed. I can't see Contador being a reference in the Top scenarios, anymore...

Seems to me that the winner Alberto Contador is gone. The way he finished the season, in a resurgence attempt, is clearly revealing...

It is a climbers route. MTF's in Port Ainé and La Molina, with some hard mountain passes. I can see Quintana and Pinot shining there...

Quintana and Pinot will challenge Froome in Catalunya.

Froome wont't perform in the Classics like in the GT's... Froome clearly has an advantage at aerobic power and recovery, but this margin come into nothing in one day races. I expect Froome going a little bit down this next season... though he'll probably win Oman or Catalunya being the Top...

This is between Vincenzo Nibali and Tejay Van Garderen. Southamericans... wanna see Julián Arredondo.
