Kristoff looks like a wrestler in such company.
Hahaha I was just about to write that. UAE has quite a Norwegian flair to their roster
Equal on Vikings with Dimension Data.

Flemish spirit during the short interviews.

Some very undiplomatic questions:

To Uran, "Who is the best Colombian rider?"

To Porte, "Is this your last chance to win?"
Just domestic sarcasm where's fitting. Nothing undiplomatic.

But his teammates laughed, so...
 
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.
