Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think its unlikely to be anybody tipped for it. None of the British team will be allowed in the break, least of all Cummings. Though I'd love Cummings to give it a go. And if its anything like 4 years ago nobody will help the Brits pull the break back.
Though perhaps with a hillier course it will be completely different.

Totally different races, no one thought they could compete with Cav in a sprint. Here a sprint isn't expected so other day teams should work if they don't have someone in the break. Will definitely need collaboration with 5 man teams though.

I fancy a break of the second strings, Rodrigues, Aru, Chaves, Cummings etc - if the main teams can get one in the break, then no chance of it being caught

Might want Thomas or A Yates in a strong break. As long as others have big riders in there, they have a chance to stay away.

3 brits still inat the final 40k. Can,t see a winner as it will not be until the very last4k climb next time around before anyone will chance their legs. It,ll be a finish like Lombardia and might favour Nibali or Martin. Richie Porte just off with someone else. Carnage in this last but one demon descent. Hope this is not repeated in the last drop

Yates dropped but now trying to help Froome across.

Nibali looks good but is he strong enough to get the gap needed for the descent.

Thomas looks cooked.
