Spirit of the dotI predict riders all over the route!
Shouldn't Filippo Ganna be winning this one?
I feel he's done nothing whilst WvA has been racing hard every single stage, so logic says the world champion take this one. But logic isn't really a thing in this TdF so who knows.
There was also the knee injury which should be healing up nicely by now...Wout is about to reach his peak after coming undercooked to the tour, so WVAFTW.

I’m thinking Ganna has soft pedaled recently, to save for this TT.
The World TT Championship last year (that he defended from winning the previous year) was almost exactly the same distance as the parcours tomorrow. He knows how to ride that distance.
The same goes for Van Aert that finished less than 6 seconds away from him that day
That won't matter. The only way Ganna beats Wout in this form is if Wout lets him.I’m thinking Ganna has soft pedaled recently, to save for this TT.
That will probably be the top five with maybe a a few order reversals. Surely Ganna will love this course while Quintana, Meintjes etc will hate it. Also a great course for Kung. Thomas should be top 7 or so. Would not surprise me at all if Vingegaard wins it. His form has looked even better in the second half of the race. Hope its not too hot for them.I feel like Pog and Vingegaard are both flying right now. Pog to take 40 seconds, both end up in top 4.
- WVA
- Pogačar
- Ganna
- Vingegaard
- Küng
looks too hard for Ganna to me, at least in this shape. Unless the wind is a major factor, I'd be surprised if any non-gc riders (apart from WvA, of course) finish on the podium
