*I assume Schelling will drop out of the TdF after week 1.

There's no ways he can have enough energy to go full-gas in the breakaway every single day.

in fairness, shoulders in rugby see a lot of action, so perhaps it's a bit more serious. cyclists don't really use shoulders in cycling. well, perhaps Sagan from time to time?

For sure... you also get different types of shoulder dislocations.

My comment was just a bit cheeky.. i have no doubt that Alun Wyn Jones is one hell of a tough bloke.

He is Welsh after all, just like Geraint :)

Probably doesn't want to take points on the intermediate sprint which Sagan could potentially win. But seen as Cav and Caleb have gone for intermediate sprints on the previous stages, Sagan is gonna have to work hard

About Sagan:

"I know he’s a fan favourite, good for the sport due to his flamboyant nature and character and is undoubtedly one of the true megastars that have graced the sport. But for us in the peloton, he’s a bloody nightmare, a rider you want to stay clear of. He’s just so damn dangerous.

Everyone sitting at home loves watching his “sick” skills, and he has them in abundance. He’s exceptionally talented and skilled on the bike, but he’s also, err, how do I put this, an absolute airhead and selfish!" - TSP

He won't drop out, he'll retire due to knee pain

Which of the Ineos riders wrote this article? 
They lost all credibility when the picked Porte for the win, Thomas for a podium spot, and a Slovenian for the other spot. And never mentioned Caleb or Matthews for green and only spoke of Cav, an ex sky rider.
