At least the tour. It could be career ending. The tour should now be more Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 At least it solves the problem for Ineos of who's going to be the leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Froome, Thomas and Ineos all together in one team no one could have hoped to have beaten them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Froome might have just won a grand tour from his hospital bed. Talk of stripping cobo of 2011vuelta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Thomas and Bernal, still a two headed snake. And.... Wout Poels just won the biggest stage in the Dauphine today, beating all other climbers, raising the question of whether this will finally be the year that he goes for his own chances in Le Tour...? Or working for Thomas and Bernal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Tommy D now out as well. What a terrible field, but open GC we will have this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Yeah, this really is a blow for followers. There is still many great contenders left however. I was just really keen to see Dumoulin at work after the lost Giro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It'll be an exciting Tour with more unpredictability but it is sad that we won't get to see some of the big names. People like Bernal will be licking their lips. Experienced second-tier candidates like Quintana will feel they are a chance, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
