Thomas always has a bad day. They'll keep Froome up there and actively try and drop Dumoulin just in case.

That's pretty much what Wiggins said. Sky know exactly how froome will perform in week 3, G is more of an unknown and banking everything on him would be silly

Right now G certainly passes the eye test better than Froome or Dumoulin and he has 1:39 on Froome, 1:50 on Dumoulin. Normally I’d say G cracks in th Pyrenees, but I think he has the legs to take it all the way to Paris. If Sky orders him to sit up for a Froome, that would be idiotic and play right into Dumoulin’s hand.

Watched the David Millar fillum this evening, it's good, really interesting Gets a bit dark at the end but it does a good job of showing how hard a profession it is Lots of quality swears in it too

Those calves he has for when he’s really mashing out a sprint? Useless. Moreso, does anyone really know if he has the genetic gifts of an aerobic base to pull off 30m-1hr hour efforts at the required w/kg? Sagan does pretty poorly in ITTs.

He'd also have to lose the urges to chase people or attack on a whim, and people would never, ever let him get anywhere close to breakaways. He'd be bored as gently caress.

Van Aert has joined LottoNL Jumbo. I guess they'll still let him ride cyclocross and target the classics?

Sagan has a couple TT wins including that final 2015 Tour of California stage for the overall win. It's maybe one of his weaker areas but I think it's a stretch to say he's poor at them.

Lol. Odds on Demare making the time cut? He’s French, so I assume the commissaires will somehow not notice him getting into a team car.

Jesus Christ is Sagan really leading in the green jersey by 300 points now?

It's just that most of the people who would be competing for the Sagan points have died. He would probably only be ~150 up if they were still in the race.

I think it's 282 now. So if he wins the stage he could hit a 300 lead.

Not necessarily TdF related per se, but Team Dimension Data and BMC are partnering for the next three years (http://africasteam.com/2018/07/23/bmc-switzerland-partners-with-team-dimension-data/). This would seem to imply that Dimension Data will be riding BMC bikes, but I don't know what, if anything, this means for the BMC racing team. It seems like maybe they will merge? Or cease to exist?
