Jonas will win the Tour again in 2024 baring injury or illness.

I fear John is correct, one superhuman guy with a pure focus on the tour and a great team will be VERY hard to beat. But jeez, with that team UAE will certainly not make it boring.

Agree. But sitting in 2nd, ready to pounce if anything happens to Jonas, is a great place to be. Stuff happens at the Tour all the time, and UAE will try their darndest to make the most of any opportunity presented to them

That sounds like that's that then... back to the Sky train days... none of which sound terribly exciting to me really.

I would not mind that but hopefully, Pog, Rog, Jonas, Remco and maybe Sepp also. will be all in the mix, that would give us some awesome racing !!!

JV will rock up with a bunch of heavy hitters. It's always a tough final week but the last three stages are mountain x 2 and hilly ITT, JV will want to have him 10 minutes up by then.

He was so far ahead of everyone this year, the only real unkown is how Roglic goes in a new team.

His O Gran Camino victory lends itself to a TDF strong showing.

Agree, you don't win the Tour in Feb, but a good start nonetheless!!

wouldn't it be great if the tour was actually won on the last day for a change...? ITT in Nice is nice... call me weird, but this 'day before' shenanigans is lame

Only 5 sleeps to go...

Looking at the start list, it's anyone's guess as to what the top 10 on gc will look like after 3 weeks. Especially 2nd and 3rd place.
