With a lot of riders testing positive for covid I wanted to open a discussion for new possibilities for teams and at the same time potential changes from the UCI/ASO to the way they approach the race. For example, would they accept more replacement riders?
Some teams could be thinking about changes based on who tested positive recently. Maybe some have gotten sick and lost some form. Or maybe some didn't get sick and for sure won't test positive for the Tour as assurance!
For the time being this is the list that I have:

Startlist
Surprises so far:
- I heard on different podcasts that Lopez is in for the Tour de France, regardless of the lack of competition. Now I see him on the start list.
Maybe we get more speculations and surprises from other forum members.
Please pitch in.
