Landa this year probably has to be up there as well. Although outclimbing the GC guys makes this one better. But in general despite some average to poor GTs so far, there has been a good KOM in both.staubsauger said:Best mountains jersey winner since Rasmussen & Sella. Awesome performance, obviously!
The tour is organized by french for frenchDekker_Tifosi said:Makes you imagine what he will do when the Tour next year has 70+ ITT kilometers and Sunweb go for Dumoulin. Will he do Giro/Vuelta? Or be the best domestique Dumoulin could ever wish for? Or bnth?
If Sunweb deems that the route is better suited for Dumoulin, they'll back Dumoulin. Not as if ASO can force teams to ride for their French riders.swissfr said:The tour is organized by french for frenchDekker_Tifosi said:Makes you imagine what he will do when the Tour next year has 70+ ITT kilometers and Sunweb go for Dumoulin.

The Long Time trial in the tour, it's over.RedheadDane said:If Sunweb deems that the route is better suited for Dumoulin, they'll back Dumoulin.

Yeah... Gouvenou wants to stay the course, from what I've read. No long TTs, but also fewer and fewer HC MTFs.swissfr said:The Long Time trial in the tour, it's over.RedheadDane said:If Sunweb deems that the route is better suited for Dumoulin, they'll back Dumoulin.

He obviously had the accident in 2016 and before that he was 23 or younger.hrotha said:I think the people hoping he targets the GC next are kind of not getting it. Barguil already rode some GTs for the GC for a couple of years. It didn't work for him. Most he could manage was a lackluster and forgettable top 10, and he stopped being the rider we knew and loved, and the rider this Tour has given us back. Let him ride like this forever and ever.
And a stage to the extremely hard ridden Foix-stage and the mythical Izoard (both day beating the GC-guys), plus a photo finish stage lost on the queen stage. Incredible.King Boonen said:Maillot à pois, super combatif and 10th. Awesome tour for Barguil.
Good points! Easily the rider of the Tour for me.Valv.Piti said:And a stage to the extremely hard ridden Foix-stage and the mythical Izoard (both day beating the GC-guys), plus a photo finish stage lost on the queen stage.
