this is for sir bradley wiggins!!!

Fairly untechnical. Wiggo or Tony ftw.

It rises a bit around the bend with 2.5km to go. I'd guess around 500m at 5%.

I wonder how Jungels will do. He was very strong in Besseges, but of course, that's only Besseges. It will be interesting to see how far he is behind the real TT specialists.

Also, Jungels appears to be the captain of his team, because he got number 171, so it looks like he still thinks he should be a GC rider. I thought last year showed focusing on GC's wasn't a good idea.....

Martin
Wiggo
Dumoulin in spite of getting over being sick.

Or he's got the "1-number" because he's the closest thing they've got to a leader (and someone has to wear it). Having the 1-number doesn't always mean you're (trying to be) a GC contender, fx I doubt Demare is one.

Here is a video on steephill of the prologue course by car.

He was up there in prologue at the Dauphine last year (was about to win it until Contador and Froome came across the line), so he might go well today.

Wiggins is so dope lol, i hate the rider but he is a boss in those pics.

Neither Wiggins nor Tony Martin, prologues and their distance shift the advantage away from the normal longer TT suspects. I will go for Geraint Thomas.

I always respected Wigo but I wasnt exactly a fan.

Somehow, lately, I'm starting to like this dude. What a great character. And he got style and I like that.

BTW nice TT machine. What size are those rings? Anybody knows?
