I'll keep an eye out. Saw the DD Train and EBH a few times last year. What are your thoughts on Big Tom's chances of repeating? 

 

Zoncolan with 22% is gonna hurt a big lad like him.

I think he is reinventing himself. Dropped some weight last year and surprised everyone. Hoping for stronger team this year. I will be rooting for him big time. Sadly he cannot beat The Dawg and the Borgs if they are in full flight.

Spare a thought for some of the Sky riders who had thought of targeting some of the classics..they will be needed on Giro patrol and their prep will now change..[emoji58]

Maybe go to the Vuelta rather?

Speculation is that several will skip Giro and hoping to race a fatigued Froome for the maillot jaune...

Yip

 

He may just come down with the flu 1 week before the event [emoji6]

Ye of little faith !!

Great incentive to go for the slam and hold all 3 in the modern era, he will be on the start line!

Am sure Sky have meticulously looked at this and the extra week rest from the delayed start of the TdF..... maybe it will be Gee who has a crack at the tour this year ... whilst everyone is focused on CF

I am sure we will see him a lot on Suikerbosrand this holiday season. Early training schedule.

He likes to do hill repeats on Hekpoort hill mountain..............

I saw a rider in the Cradle earlier this week. Full sky kit, TT bike, a follow ASG car.......couldn't clock who it was as I was on my last interval. Maybe?

The viewership for the Giro has just increased !!!

 

The big question is going to be if Froome will be able to pull it off.

 

In 2017 the TDF and Vuleta

In 2018 the Giro and TDF ?????
