There's always the ITT, where probably Tom, Primoz and Wout play rock paper scissors beforehand to see who gets to win.Yeah, i was starting to wonder if i imagined that.
I hope Wout goes all out, and doesn't save himself for Champs Elysées. I think he has as much, maybe more, chance of winning the ITT as winning the final sprint. Plus he could set a benchmark for Primoz and Tom.There's always the ITT, where probably Tom, Primoz and Wout play rock paper scissors beforehand to see who gets to win.
Amateurs.He also needs to learn to do a Froome / Contador slap

Then why not win stage 18 too?Jumbo have a realistic chance of winning all of the last three stages. Stage 19 sprint should favour WvA (if it comes to a sprint). Even after all his work he will still probably be fresher than all the sprinters. The TT should be a Jumbo affar anyway and well, why not win Champs as well while we are at it.
Roglič is a better TT rider than Porte and has been for the last 4 years. I'd say Pogačar and Porte are about equal at the moment.Back on topic: Either PR or TP should win and both are deserving. Here is a question: What if say Porte destroyed the ITT and won by say 2 seconds? I don't know if PR and TP are as good of TT riders as a Porte for example. Curious if anyone in the top 5 can come even close. Unlikely...but still could happen
And it's even stupid to talk about it in tdF2020, because top 3 have all won stages.It's called a "general" classification for a reason. You don't have to win any stage for it. It's simply stupid to even consider. Sure, i get that a stagewin adds some extra shine to the GC victory, but it's just icing on the cake.
LOL!!!!!So well-deserved! The heart of the Tour, the ever-attacking. This man could very well be the heir of Contador. One man riding against an armada. And he succeded in his very first attempt! I am so happy for him.

I think he may be even better than Contador especially in the classics but the style is there
