  1. No more iconic brown shorts in the peloton. Van Rysel bikes, helmets and sunnies is incorporated as the French-based team is also renamed as Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale.

    Jumbo-Visma renamed as Visma-Lease a bike.

    The history of coffee dates back to centuries of old oral tradition in modern-day Ethiopia and Yemen. It was already known in Mecca in the 15th century. Also, in the 15th century, Sufi monasteries in Yemen employed coffee as an aid to concentration during prayers. Coffee later spread to the Levan in the early 16th century; it caused some controversy on whether it was halal in Ottoman and Mamluk society.
    Coffee arrived in Italy in
     the second half of the 16th century through commercial trade routes, while Central and Eastern Europeans learned of coffee from the Ottomans.

    High mountain stage on Stage 4 already 

    Remco’s first Tour de France

    Stages 1-3 longer than 200 kms

    Bora will likely have Jai and Roglič as co leaders

    Visiting the Alps twice - that’s remarkable

    23 km or something gravel segment somewhere to shake up the nerves of the mechanics

    Starting in the Tuscany hills - exciting!
