Just one place off

Barguil and Bardet are the most promising so far, with Pinot still trying to make that quality leap.
And next up is Latour!
Sénéchal is a promising prospect.PremierAndrew said:Pippo_San said:It seems like we're back straight in the mid nineties...lots of young french climbers coming through!

No lack of promising sprinters or punchers for the french either. Now all they need is a decent cobbles specialist, don't see where that one's coming from

Well, the conditions of the race considered, I think Senechal did quite a good job in Samyn. If anything, he showed that he can withstand rain and cold weather, when others cannot. But apart from that I agree he is not an obvious future cobbles specialist.PremierAndrew said:Alexandre B. said:Sénéchal is a promising prospect.PremierAndrew said:Pippo_San said:It seems like we're back straight in the mid nineties...lots of young french climbers coming through!

He's already 22 though, and his best result so far is probably a podium at Le Samyn, but apart from that he hasn't done much
He normally gets stronger as the race wears on too.King Boonen said:Still with the favourites, great riding so far.
PremierAndrew said:He's a pretty safe bet for the white jersey at the end of this. I expected Bardet to come out on top after a close battle with Barguil but then I realised that bardet is no longer eligible, so Barguil literally has no other serious rivals any more
