tubed Posted July 30, 2019 Share The cyclingnews TDF team review makes for interesting reading. http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/analysing-the-2019-tour-de-france-teams-part-1/ We give DDD a really hard time, mostly because we are passionate saffas, but just take Astana who won just about everything at the start of the year, well them and a whole lot more look just as flash as DDD as far as TDF 2019 goes. The margins are small and the perceptions/ expectations are huge. A look at Ben King's daily instagram blog reveals just how hard they tried. All said, the best TDF in years.

BMCfan Posted August 1, 2019 Share The GC contenders Nibali to Trek-Segafredo, Quintana to Arkéa-Samsic, Landa to Bahrain-Merida and Dumoulin to Jumbo-Visma? The most high-profile GC riders on the market are Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar). Below these two are a raft of athletes including Daniel Martin (UAE Team Emirates), Wout Poels (Team Ineos), Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha-Alpecin), Esteban Chaves (Mitchelton-Scott), Enric Mas (Deceuninck-QuickStep), Davide Formolo (Bora-Hansgrohe), Louis Meintjes(Dimension Data), Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) and Mikel Landa (Movistar). Each of those come with strengths and weakness, but only two from the entire list above have won Grand Tours. Tom Dumoulin has a contract with Team Sunweb until the end of 2021 but is also on the market because he is reportedly unhappy and determined to leave. Mmmmmmm......
