Is clear!!! The new world belongs to Lating America Hombre!!!
Dan, I do prefer you as presenter, than the "other" guy. You are the Boss!
What about Fuglsang?
Some say the Rumour is the cervelo mineral water test team are back to the Tour de France, leading the way Le aero Dan
Love it!
Ah poor Bernal wont win it
Thanks GCN
Egan Bernal or Nairo Quintana for the Tour champion
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.
Its between Bernal and Yates for the win with Pinot on the podium.
Kruiswijk!
I’ve popped £5 each way on Pinot!
Thank you for this. I love the TDF, but don't know enough about most of the riders to have a little each-way bet.
This is really helpful.
TDF stuff starts around 6:00
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)
Why nit emanuel buchmann?

TdF Podium…. 1. Bernal. 2. Nibali. 3. Fulsang. G will get a top five with Bardet
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.
I think Nibali
YEAH BOI TEAM NERO BIANCHI!
With alot of great rides never winning the tour (cav, segan, quintana) is winning the tour really the be all and end all now?
Pinot bardet bernal quintana Valverde aru nibali Thomas yates landa et astana
Buchmann looks very strong, I think he can reach a top 5 result
It's not "chomping" at the bit, it's "champing". Common error but a bit annoying.
1 Thomas
2 Bernal
3 Pinot
4 Fuglsang
5 Bardet
6 Quintana
7 Kruijswijk
8 Landa
9 Poels
10 Martin
Porte crashes
yes lloydy we did notice that shocking joke
egan bernal will emerge in the 3rd week to take yellow, and then he will not lose it.
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 🇵🇭.
amazing how many people are picking Bernal over Thomas – crazy surely
My outside bet would be on Uran. EF going well this year!
Dan Martin
For me its 1.Pinot, 2.Thomas/Bernal (who will be the leader?), 3.Quintana. Will be a great race anyway for sure
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….
My money is on Nibali. He can hold onto a team car like no other.
You got it llody!
