Who y’all got winning this year?

It is going to be wide open tour this year with Froome and Dumoulin both missing due to injury. My heart says Bernal, but with his youth and having only ridden one GT I have my doubts he can hold form into week 3. Therefore, I will have to go with Jakob fugaslang. He has a strong team and he has been absolutely flying this year. Plus with multiple GTs in his legs I think this will finally be the year he does it.

Side note. This is the 50th anniversary of Merckx’s first tour win in 69’. ASO has chosen to make the grand departs from Brussels to celebrate. Anyways this year’s tour should be amazing and hard. Hears to a good race.

Bernal will be fun to watch, but I’d be surprised if someone that young won. G Thomas has not had a promising season thus far, so it may really be wide open.

Maybe Tejay van Garderen will have a good tour to give us a rooting interest.

Egan Bernal has the tools but not the experience so I'm going with Fuglsang. Personally, I would like to Quintana win.

Thomas will have to really fall off for them to cut Bernal loose... I dont know if Bernal has the experience to beat that Movistar team. I have no idea what’s going to happen

Quintana acts like he is scared of the moment in the Tour

G will repeat on the strength of the team. Bernal gets a podium finish.

Quintana is a puss that couldn't TT his way out of a paper bag. I've never really considered him a contender to win an overall title at TDF.

Kruijswijk to finish in the top 3 is my bet for the tour

Alaphilippe is too short for the KoM

Bardet for the shock win. Lots of mountains in this edition and he is an excellent climber. The French are begging for a champion and this might be their best bet for awhile.

TTT stage 2 whoooo!!! Easily the best stage every year that it is in the tour.

The precision needed for just a time trial is immense, but a team one takes so much skill on each individuals part.

In dis bish.
Will be rooting for Richie Port from Trek and my dude Julian Alaphilippe as well as the entire Wolf Pack! Sagan is always fun to watch on the Sprint stages.

Got my custom ride done just in time to sit my arse on the couch and watch the Tour over the next few weeks
