Sky actually might have too good of a climbing squad. With good/great climbers working this early they might just tire out rest of their domestiques. So they won't be too much of a asset on last climb.
I think thats what I'd call dream thinking. Opportunistic, with a gran of naivety. Or two! |

What dev4ever said. Do you really think that Thomas and Henao will have much in the tank after Landa and then Poels had worked in front. Sky just risk to have Froome too early alone. I get that there will be probably like only 5-10 guys with him. But still he will probably have to attack from the get go on last climb so that there wouldn't be this "attack, sit and repeat" type of riding which doesn't really play in to Froome's cards. |

Contador doesn't look good.

Wrong wheel to suck. Totally Pinot's fault.

Just wait 'til Vivianni starts outclimbing everyone! |

Good to see Bennett climbing not just well but comfortably for Kelderman. He should be his best dom and hopefully he could maybe get a break win sometime.
Yates for yellow.

11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Yates will be dropped on Peyresourde. I predict Dan Martin for yellow. Are you ready for this BBL?  |
