Starting with a Time Trial is pretty old school. (If a little boring)

Excited for the race (and the Womens one after)

Just hoping it’s not going to be a Pog procession. Some doubt over the result would be good.

Thanks Debs,
notable absentees for me are Cav and Julian Alaphilippe.

Declercq is out with Covid. Senechal in as replacement.

Is it wrong to hope than Declercq has been hanging round with Jakobsen and Cav will soon get a call up?

16

Great to see that Sagan is on the list. We will be entertained!

Perhaps the Arenberg stage for him.

I’ll be there (in the tv sense). Hopefully it will be as dramatic and unpredictable as the Giro and not the predicted procession.

The tour is about the entourage. Castles, landscapes, stories and a bit of sports to glue it all together.
