2019 TdF Team Presentation Party Thread

Thomas just doesn't look or sound that confident to me

But on the other hand I think Niibali fancies it

Kwaito looks thinner than I have ever seen him

Ineos, Bahrain, Movistar, Lotto Jumo, EF & Astana have strongest teams by a mile ...imagine the podium will come from 3 of these 6 teams

Bernal, Nibali, Landa, SK , Uran or Fuglsang

So by process of elimination
Bernal, SK & Uran for me

Unfortunately Landa likely loses too much time in the ITT. I do think he can get a top 10 maybe a top 5 out of it.

Indeed, Thomas ain't gonna win this Tour, not skinny enough, detached. On the other hand Bernal looked like he at least won a couple of grand tours, amazing what sky can do with one's brain. Didn't see Nibali, guess he's in the tranquillo mood.
