Who Will Win the GREEN Jersey, TDF 2024

[Juan Pelota]

Thread title says it all? Who will win green?

What do we know about who will specifically go for it?

 

[KZD]

I voted Philipsen to win for the second year in a row, because with 7-8 sprint stages, the fact the he has the best train and he is faster than everyone apart from maybe Groenewegen should give him the upperhand.

Pedersen should be his main rival, he is more versatile than Philipsen but lacks the same top speed and although he has a good team surrounding him, he doesn't have Van der Poel as a leadout.

Van Aert won't go for green as he is not in top shape and will have to work for Vingegaard, Groenewegen doesn't climb well enough and De Lie is just too inconsistent but will be very interesting to follow in his GT debut.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Going with the Patterson bloke.

 

[CyclistAbi]

If possible i would vote for Primož Roglič.

 

[Unchained]

Lenny Martinez

 

[proffate]

Surprisingly weak sprinting field this year. That could mean fewer sprint trains pulling back breakaways. I'm voting for Mads with my heart more than my head.

Could mvp ever try to win it Sagan style?

 

[wirral]

Either Philipsen or Pedersen. If neither make it to Nice then it becomes one of those random years which I kind of like.

Please fix the horrendous misspelling in the poll.
It's Pedersen, nor Pederson!
You think he's Swedish?

It's Groenewegen, nor Groenewegan!
You think he's a vegan?

MVDP. Looks lean and mean and able to lead out himself.

That doesn't make him non-Danish!
Well, he's not Danish in the first place. Turning a Dane - even accidentally - into another nationality; now that is an unforgivable crime!

Please fix the horrendous misspelling in the poll.
It's Demare not De Lie.
Sorry thought it was 2018.

 

[topcat]

Where the hell is Sam Bennett in the poll?

I don‘t think your Danish citizenship would be invalid if your name ended in -son.

I suppose you're right.
Anderson is definitely Danish.

What does that have to do with Groenewegen's name being misspelled?

I don't think that's as horrible a crime.

That's just a misspelling.

 

[Red Rick]

Philipsen hasn't impressed me at all in the flat sprints this year, I don't think he's a lock for it
