Saxo will be worried.

I have confidence in 'Berto as he knows how to race over 3 weeks.

I really hope so. Would love to see a really good mountain fight between the top climbers

I don't think AC has peaked and I don't think he is showing all his cards. Perhaps that's just wishful thinking. I would like to see good hard competition at the TDF.

Agreed - I want a nail biting TDF!

Hope so I rate him as a dark horse.

I like him.

He impresses.

Cool understudy for Nibs.

Yup, me too. The Criterium hasn't been great though in my books, it had lots of potential but I think too many riders playing the "its all just training" card has left it a little bland.

I'm surprised at how easy it all is for Froome. He just seems to turn up and ride, like he's on a VR trainer.

 

I'd just love him to lose those stupid white rimmed bug eye glasses that look like a throwback to the days of gaudy fancy dress parties. Has he never looked in a mirror?

Only a cat 1 to finish today, cant see anyone toppling Chris, but I am hoping 'Berto makes a little dash for the line to take the stage - We'll see.

 

Rodriguez didn't look great yesterday, so maybe Valverde and 'Berto will spice it up a bit.

 

The talk coming out of Saxo is all pretty much consistent, 'berto has allergy issues, he is just here to train, not really fond of the race, never targeted the race for a win, his form is 75% which is right at about this time, .........so maybe we are reading too much into it, Yesterday he looked pretty composed and dare I say it......."Pretty strong."

I'm backing 'Berto for yellow and Sagan for green.

 

Dig Froome, but don't dig Skyborg.

 

Contador is not to be underestimated.

Current visuals as well as those from last Giro, remind me of what I disliked about living, let alone riding in Europe
