I mean I don't expect Rui Costa, Enric Mas or Spilak to win but they are still GC relevant guys.

If these riders are the only competition for Ineos, the race organization should seriously think about their concept.

Sorry I forgot about Bananito. He will be there ofc.

Aru maybe.

Marc Soler is Movistar's leader here and his ITT wasn't too bad. I think he was just over 20 seconds off of Dennis' time.

I cant see him beating either of the Ineos boys but would still classify him as a favourite. Fancy him for a top 5.

I agree that is unlikely he'll beat the Ineos boys, but I think he has an outside shot at the podium IF he's on good form.

There are 10 outside shots at the podium IF they're on good form

Echo this, he would have to he on good form, but with the time trials he certainly has a chance

The interesting thing is that Atapuma was 9 seconds faster than him, just 1 second slower than Thomas.

It took me a while to realize you were talking about Anacona. :D
Actually Anacona is not a good reference because he is a good TT when in good form.

I was going to comment on how it's impressive of Atapuma to be setting any time in Switzerland, when he's currently riding the Dauphine.

Lumpy circuit around Langnau 3 times - Be interesting to see Sagan's form and how G & Bernal ride it. Ineos will have G wrapped up in bubble-wrap now that Dawg's in the hospital.

Oh my, getting my Colombians mixed up when I've even talked and taken pictures with Anacona before, that's something...

Kelderman has fallen again.
First day of competition... and back to the ground
He seems like a real specialist in falling off his bicycle

Even if G would crash. They still have Bernal, Poels and Kwiat for the Tour :lol: :rolleyes:
