They're running coverage right from the start today. Sky aren't trying to get in the break so I can only assume they're going to try and grind movistar into the road.

They've been really good at getting riders up the road and having the balls to try long attacks to meet up with them.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Quintana looks bored sitting behind Froome's wheel, I think he's got this wrapped up.

Do any of the other young Colombians have a GC future? I feel like there's lots of stage wins and finishing up front, but no talk of developing them more.

Those Russian hackers leaked that Wiggins and Froome have had long-running TUEs for in-competition use of corticosteroids, to the surprise of absolutely no one

It will be interesting to see which riders do start making snarky comments on twitter or whatever, as finding any pro with no TUE of their own would probably be difficult

Lots of ex pro's I should think

Might want to look at the leaks, only Wiggins is like that - and his does look questionable, given if he was that bad an asthma sufferer to need 3 types of steroid a day surely he wouldn't be an athlete. Its no wonder his medical passport was flagged as questionable a long time ago.

Froome's is only for 2 prescriptions for 4 days of medication for allergies. Only odd thing is the fact it happened the same days on both years - right before the Giro.

If it's a specific pollen allergy that would check out tbf, that can be extremely seasonal. I die of asthma for like 2 weeks every year at around the same time bc of pollen, it's great!
