For those not getting the "Secret Pro Newsletter"

 

"everyone is visibly nervous about la Planche tomorrow. We're all hearing conflicting reports on what the last kilometre which apparently hits 24% actually looks like. Gravel? Dirt? Paved? Something in-between?"

 

What do you guys think, are we seeing one or more of the supposed GC contenders dropping out of the running today? Or all-together over the line, with 5 to 10s lost at most by the top guys? I think this will be a massive test for Geraint and Fuglsang... Bernal on the other hand would probably like to steal some more seconds on his rivals.

Bonjour readers,

 

The official transfer window opens up in August but now is when everyone is scrambling to firm up their contracts. We hear the same rumours as you do but one that I haven't seen reported anywhere is what's happening to Mikel Landa. Apparently Movistar has not offered him a contract for next year and word on the street is we won’t see him working for anybody as of yet. Nobody is interested in him. 

 

Here's a photo of Landa before today's stage chatting to Dave Brailsford. Trying to rebuild some bridges, perhaps...? Everything's pretty quiet in the team today – everyone is visibly nervous about la Planche tomorrow. We're all hearing conflicting reports on what the last kilometre which apparently hits 24% actually looks like. Gravel? Dirt? Paved? Something in-between?

 

Until tomorrow...

 

 

Yours truly,

Today might turn out to be a bit of a disappointment for us spectators, hope I’m wrong.

 

Its still early days and the GC contenders have to think of that last week. I think we will see the weaker GC contenders loose some time while the rest will all be marking each other without attacking flat out.

 

Hoping for a good showing by Enrique Mas to take over the white jersey and my wild card rider Romain Kreuziger to try make a move.
