Maybe you need to hope that ASO buys Izulia Basque Country in the near future.
Just relocate to the French Basque Country. And replace the yearly stage to Arrate for Larrau or La Pierre St Martin.And relocate & rebrand it as Tour de la Planche des Belles Filles?
Hirschi just there to intimidate lesser man with nothing but his jawline.
Majka wants to maximize Poggers 'hair through helmet gains'Next to Majka with a mohawk.
I like this picture.
UAE team is super strong in theory but only Pogacar and McNulty have shown any real form this season so far.
From the rider startlist it looks for me a bit of a pretaste what we can expect for the Tour de France this year.Realistically I think team strength is only really importnat on the final stage and Poggers can just solo that.
Even there team strength is important in case of crashes and mechanicals particularly with the narrow steep climbs where getting team cars up to the rider in need quickly can be an issue.From the rider startlist it looks for me a bit of a pretaste what we can expect for the Tour de France this year.
Pogacar vs. Roglic vs Ineos.
Ok, Roglic team will be better at the tour and one has to add Thomas and Porte to the Ineos team.
But otherwise?
From the route I agree with Red Rick, that the last stage is the only one where team strenght will be an important factor. At all the other stages there will only be action at the last mountain.
Apparently no Chris Harper (unless you count Vingegaard), replaced by Pfingsten. Not the strongest team, compared to UAE.

Hopefully instead of Roglic hidden behind his powerful teammates as long as possible we will see a more offensive version of him.
Well this yea's Paris Nice was already a bit different.

The real Tour win is the memes we became along the wayTeam strength didn't help in the final of last TdF though:
