Pog revenge Tour. Vingegaard is only guy that stands a chance to change that.

Green jersey race between Mads, Van Aert, Girmay, and Phillipsen IMO. I like Mads because Van Aert is going to have to do too much team work.

Hope to see Alaphillipe ride free and win some stages, maybe mountain jersey.

Watched Chris Horner video yesterday. He talked about Bernal, and as he was about to win the TDF, NBC producers were in his ear telling him to declare Bernal the next big thing that could go on a tear at the TDF - and Horner refused. Basically saying he thought highly of Bernal but didn't have him in that category.

The impression I got was that Chris is his own man and that might explain why he's not with NBC any more. He wouldn't just say whatever they wanted him to say.

Horner mentions Julian Alaphillipe winning the ITT, beating Geraint, but if Geraint had won that ITT and gone into yellow, Bernal would have been the domestique.

It was interesting to hear him discuss this. I forget some of these details as the races go by.

We'll see if Pog can ride himself into shape but his comments and the fact that the team is considering Yates co-leader says that the injury has really cost him fitness.

Maybe Vingegaard will come in too hot and pay for as the race goes on but he looked dominant at the Dauphine.

This GC could still be exciting but next year might be the epic setup if everybody stays healthy with Jonas, Remco and Ayuso and Pog.
