    1. Bernal's too young. If he keeps his form though, he'll be unstoppable in 4/5 years time.

      Giving Ineos the credit they've earned, they'll protect Bernal until the mountains, so that he can protect Thomas through them.

    2. I think Nairo Quintana might take it, if he has learned to attack later, or when attacking keep going all the way, with that Winner is possible.
      I agree Bernal might get it or Uran, its Copa de latino tour, however I hope for Fuglsang to win, go go go ale ale ale

      (sadly the French will have to wait for any frenchie to go all the way)

    5. Egan Bernal "a caged rat"?!!! Please – maybe a caged puma, since he's Colombian? of course neither rats nor cats would be "chomping at the bit" since only horses are bridled with bits. Mixed metaphor there. But mainly, don't call Bernal a rat – horrible image.

    6. Many thanks to the GCN team for featuring Le Tour De Filipinas. I really hope to see Filipino riders compete in the world tour someday. Filipino riders are like, waving so hard to the UCI to be noticed…for so long now. Regards from Philippines 🇵🇭.

    7. Just to be on the safe side, don't you think it is worth to mention Fabio Aru? I know it is long time he hasn't shown too much, but after all he was not too bad at the Tour of Suisse and he has won a Vuelta plus other GT podiums… much more than what Porte or Kruiswek (that you mentioned) have ever done….
