Who can forget how the powerful Dane won that cold, windy, wet World Champs on the island? Great finish by the Trek racer today.

Meanwhile, both tomorrow's course (stage piccie below) and Sunday's will be for the mountain goats. If you want the leader's jersey, this'll be the weekend to make bold moves. Gonna be good.

8 days to kick off, endless possibilities.

will roglic actually ride?

how can evenepoel really be the favourite, he is not really GT racepony ?

Can almeida step up and get a big result if given the go ahead and backup?

Carapaz was a bit off the pace at tdPologne, but Ineos still won with Hayter.

Hindley to do the double?

 

With Evenpoel having a 2:40 lead after stage 13, that post didn't age well.

The maillot rojo is dropped. Chris and his ski-jumper teammate had something to do with it on the 15% ramps. 
Mas defends and is also dropped by a very ominous looking Roglič.

Another superb stage win by the Olympic champion (who will be on a Cannondale next season)

It is a very good signing for EF Education. Gritty rider and a true racer whose only real weakness is the ITT.  I was surprised that Ineos "allowed" him to go especially as there is probably still uncertainty about the recovery of Bernal.

Remco got dropped, lost 48s at the finish and nothing in the last 1-1.5km by riding his own pace. For todays stage, you can’t fault that. 
I do wonder how he is health wise, he has a large bandage on his upper thigh after his crash and is walking with a limp off the bike. He needs to limit anything potentially tomorrow as his rivals will carry  confidence after today and go into the rest day.
