Wow, both Thomas and Froome are out.
Nice team. I will actively cheer for them for the first time in the Tour. Thank God Thomas isn't in.Bernal, Carapaz, Sivakov, Amador, Rowe, Kwiatkowski, Castroviejo, van Baarle
One thing is the justification needed at present not to take Froome and Thomas, but surely Carapaz will also do the Giro, no?Thomas will do the Giro, Froome the Vuelta. Egan is being communicated as to being the sole leader here. Not too sure if Richie will be too happy with this.
As of yet, no communication in regards to Richie's participation in the Giro. That said, INEOS communicated this bomb as ''3 different leaders, 3 different Grand Tours''. While it's a rather big and quick jump to conclusions, it allows room for thought and interpretation.One thing is the justification needed at present not to take Froome and Thomas, but surely Carapaz will also do the Giro, no?
What is it, 2 weeks of recovery after the Tour de France?but surely Carapaz will also do the Giro, no?

Sir Dave b is ruthless
No previous winner started in 2006 as we were robbed of the Ulle-Basso showdown. No previous winner who stood on top of the podium in Paris started in 2007 and 2008.I think the time between is just too short to make that doable.
So, there will be just one previous winner of the race on the start line, and that guy has only won one edition. That must certainly be a rarity.
