I am not convinced Remco will ever be a real factor in the big mountains against top GC contenders.

Just noticed the tour goes to our favourite Italian city in stage 2 
Hope it goes up that bloody hill! That’ll sort them out

Oh crap, do we have an Olympics thread, she’ll be a big loss for GB cycling, I think she’s excellent.
Britain’s Katie Archibald - a cycling gold medallist at the 2016 and 2020 Olympics - will miss next month’s Games in Paris after breaking her leg in a freak accident.
Archibald, 30, broke two bones in her leg and tore ligaments off the bone after tripping over a step in her garden.

Was a pretty aggressive start I thought, the peloton holding multiple breakaway attempts, velocity was high

“ MvdP has a good shot at today, so does Mohoric.”
And he’s away!!!
Not much laughing in the autobus today. When was the last time day 1 was so hard.
It would be a big anticlimax if Cav missed the cut-off on day 1

It always will be on the first day - if the break makes it to the finish you have a chance of wearing the yellow or green jersey for a day or two and even if it doesn’t there’s a chance of getting enough points to wear the mountains jersey for a few days
