Yep. And TJVG too old by 4 months. Someone should have told roadcycling.uk as they just put out their white jersey contenders article and included both of them.

Anyway, the white jersey field feels rather weak and relatively uninteresting this year.

Seems like we're set for an interesting battle between the two French youngsters. Bardet has a headstart, but Pinot looks stronger on the climbs.
Not sure if they're gonna focus on the podium or just battling for the white jersey.

I think Pinot will win this easily and contend for the podium, as long as he doesn't get descending problems again.

It was very fun seeing the two big rising French talents sprinting to the line together today. We're going to have a little civil war on our hands here.
