Re: I'm sorry, but that's just not true. Whatever source you have this from is wrong. Froome is at least a few KG's lighter than Dumoulin.

Gesink looks a bit heavier than his 2009/2010 years (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70QdOWkP2Awe). His arms especially look like they could shrink down a few centimeters. I have a bodybuilding background, and know it should be possible for him, with the proper dietary advice and exercise, to...

Does someone agree with me on the following?: I think this is a perfect stage for team that have a (semi)sprinter but not a clear favourite/contender for the GC. For example, if LottoNL-Jumbo sends Kruijswijk in the break, other teams have an incentive to chase the break and give Hofland an...

Re: Re: The sad thing is, I don't.

I'll never trust any russian sports team, I'm afraid.

Re: But one that is won by a pure time trialist?

Cheers guys

Anyone have a working stream link?

Anywhere I can watch a stream? (non-spain GEO?)

I'm putting my money on Tom Dumoulin for this prologue. A bit shorter than the Belgium Tour TT this year in which only the Panzerwagen managed to beat him. Add to that another year of progress and the home field advantage, I think he has a good shot.
