This year’s route might help with the sorting: the combustion of a TT for stage 1 and a pretty significant murito on Stage 3 means we’re going time differences by then. I guess if you’re someone is isn’t clearly defined team leader but you have aspirations to be one you’d better be ready and primed before Stage 1 begins.That looks like 4 leaders plus a potential future GT winner who could pull a Pogacar and podium in his first GT…how do you manage all those ambitions? I’m pretty sure every one of those riders is gaming out how they’ll become sole leader by week 2…
ed. That was supposed to read “combination” but perhaps combustion isn’t too far off the mark?
