Of all the predictions I have seen, Bernal finishing 3rd in the Vuelta is the one I like the most. I mean, its not THAT unlikely..

Well if you cannot see the real meaning of my quote well then you have a BIG problem

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm assuming it's a joke. You can't seriously be expecting Froome to win basically everything.

Brailsfraud to podium la vuelta is very likely i mean you saw him climb angliru last year and he has to bounce back after crashing on the cobbles in France
