What do you think?
Me:
Bernal for the win.
Thomas 4th.
I dont think Thomas has the form he had last year, Bernal was looking
good in the TdS, he'll be up there helping Thomas, then go on to lead
Ineos once he shows he is stronger than Thomas now.
Adam Yates, and possibly Thinault Pinot for a podium.

Sagan will struggle
Sam Bennett (if he is in the team) will dominate the sprints.
Mark Cavendish will struggle again, and retire afterwards.
Quintana for a stage win again, but only top ten overall.


With a strong team behind him, I agree that Egan Bernal has a great chance, especially after his impressive win at Paris-Nice, but I would not count out Thomas, if he can stay upright. I hope Fuglsang is right there at the end. He's had a great spring season. I'd love to see a French rider get to the top again, but that's unlikely this year. Adam Yates will be a strong contender. Remco Evenepoel is not in the Tour this year, but I'm excited about how he will do in future years.
