Do you have one?

Looking at the Wahoo Kickr or Cycleops Fluid
Leaning more towards the new Kickr since I already use the Elemnt Bolt on my rides and they are a local company

Yep. I have a Taxc Neo. Best Training tool I have ever purchased. shite will make you fast if you are consistent with it. I am using trainerroad with it, but other people use swift. Both are great just kind of depends what experience you are looking for.

Don't care who wins overall, want to see Wout Van Aert take some stages.

Bernal, Fuglsang, and Pinot on the podium. I know Thomas will likely do well, but it’s going to come to a point where Ineos is going to have to decide. I like Bernal’s form. Fuglsang has been strong all season and I think it’s Pinot’s time to shine for France.

I think Jumbo Visma holds the yellow with Groenewegen for a few stages, with Alaphilippe taken it either stage 3 or 5. Stage 6 will be our first look at GC battle, but I think they will be happy to let a break go clear so they don’t have to shoulder the yellow too early in the race.

Hoping Van der Poel signs with a pro tour team like Van Aert did.

I think Canyon is going to start a pro tour team for MVdP.

He looked great at the Giro. I think he’s being honest because that effort was extreme considering most of the favorites have not participated in a grand tour this year.

I just don't think he will have that edge in the 3rd week. GTs take too much out of you. And, on top of that this year's tour has a ridiculous 3rd week. I think we will see huge blowups by tour contenders in the last week

I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Fuglsang do well. Riders lose a bunch of electrolytes during racing and the Astana team being from Kasakhstan has availability to the best potassium stores in the world

Vinokurov knows his way around the supplementary section of the drug store. This tour is hard to predict, but I wonder about Fuglsang for three weeks. Even with a weakened field, and he’s finished seventh once, I’m not sure how to rank him. His form is stellar at present. Hell, TJ has two fifth places and is on form, but I can’t trust him or Fuglsang in the high mountains every day. Going to be interesting and I can’t wait to watch the action. Wouldn’t be surprised to see GT and Bernal along with Movistar being the main players. This won’t be popular, but I hope the frenchies preform well and break the race to pieces...
ETA: We named our dog Fuglsang....so I’m not a hater.

I completely missed that Paul Sherwin had died. He was one of the reasons I enjoy watching the Tour. Very sad.

Chris Horner on the desk is a massive addition. The Tour preview show he produced tons of insight and detail to each individual he talked about.

Christian is insightful as always
