Carapaz has 1 top 10 placing this year.
Looks like Movistar are bringing the trident.
Can I talk about the GC potential of Jonas Vingegaard? Or does it have to be either Asgreen, or the general Danes?
This could be funny, except I fear it might be true, because, well, Ineos.Geraint Thomas will win this easily before going to win the Tour later. Pogacar and Roglic both decided not to race against him here, such is the power of Ineos.
Nope, it's not the final climb of the stage...Is the Joux-Plane steep enough?
It's time for somebody else other than Ineos to win a WT stage race. Gaudu would be nice, but if this happens, the expectations and pressure in the Tour will be sky high for him, almost Remco like.

All the profiles still aren't out so I don't know what that one looks like, but I'm very sceptical about anything happening after a murito 18km from the finish in a Tour stage. And I could forgive a lot if they didn't make 80% of their mountain stages extremely stripped down and boring without even putting in legit queen stages.Come now, the 248km Signal d'Uchon stage in the Tour is actually the kind of thing we've been asking for. Let's give them credit for the Tour where it's due. It isn't due often but, to be honest, there are actually a lot of things to like about this year's Tour route. Sometimes the execution leaves a bit to be desired, but there are some good ideas there that fit in with the kind of things people have been asking for.

Yes, but the descent into Morzine is tricky, meaning a good descender can take back some time. The climb to Les Gets is not hard so chasers can gain there, too.Is the Joux-Plane steep enough?
