Surely "Danish aligned" would be to give Bjerg #1...

Why does UAE have #1 anyway? Sure, last year's winner - Roglic - isn't riding, but wouldn't it usually be Bora who got it? Or the best placed rider - O'Connor - from last year?
Or even just... the first team alphabetically?
When the winner isn't there, they can give it to whoever they want.

Last year, Pogacar won the Giro, and this year, Roglic wore the 1
 
Already mentioned above, but... GODDAMMIT, Damiano!

Damiano Caruso is out of the race for Bahrain Victorious after he fractured his hand slipping over "accidentally" on the floor this week, and is replaced by Finlay Pickering. Ben Turner, meanwhile, joins Ineos Grenadiers after Lucas Hamilton fell ill.

Concerning use of quotation marks there. Are they implying he did it on purpose?
"No! I don't wanna!"

You’re right, when a writer uses quotes in that way it suggests that there’s another explanation than the one offered. But if this is a translation they might have wanted to repeat the original quote verbatim.
 
How many Visma and UAE guys in the top 10? A lot I reckon!

Hopefully someone without a contract for next year does the ride of their life and lights things up. Either that or UAE/Visma try to give away the leader's jersey and mess things up. If not, it'll be a two speed peloton with UAE & Visma filling our TV screens for the next 3 weeks.

I'm hoping for something wild and unexpected. Jonas is fatigued after the Tour and loses five minutes on the first mountain stage to Ayuso, Almeida, Bernal and Ciccone. Ayuso and Almeida take each other out in week 3 in an argument over who gets which domestiques. Ciccone loses 30 seconds after a bungled sunglasses throw. Bernal wins his third grand tour...
