I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo
I would really just love another team to win. I'm sorry but I would, even though I really, really like Froome, Thomas and Bernal. It would just be nice, for excitement value.

Much as i would like to see primoz Roglic win the tour and the team is morphing into a genuine superstar team i cant see them having the depth of super domestiques aka GT winners all playing cat and mouse wearing the opposition down and generally burning everyone else off their wheels that ineos has the capability to do .Perhaps it's already mentioned earlier but Froome could be back to an amazing form level having been out for a year by then, all this "lets see about his form" from INEOS is a nice way of hiding your major contender and there's no way they would pitch Froome as being back to full health at this stage, they'll only comment on that by day 21 of the TDF...
INEOS 1-2-3 ?
Although i suspect a certain Dutch team will get in the way of that
This is one of those things that's assumed as true. The race authorities are always designing the parcours to get a French winner and the commissaires are always favouring French riders and particularly hard on non French riders. But it never seems to actually happen.Suiting a French rider ? I hear that most years and I'm not sure your nationality has much to do with it.
I really want Thibaut Pinot to win. Compared to that, Bardet is a safe bet.I'd really like Bardet to win.....there again I'd like Liverpool to lose a game ! Ain't happening
Being a Bardet fan makes me feel intelligent as he's very philosophical,where as being a Pinot fan makes you a drama queen 😘This is one of those things that's assumed as true.

Except maybe for the mystery absence of TV footage of Bardet making up a remarkable amount of time in one stage a couple of years back. But that was the TV not the Tour authorities.

I think both have the talent but lack a team that can give them the support that they needThis is one of those things that's assumed as true.

Right. That's it. I'm reporting you the the mods for that ad hominem attack. And I'm probably going to get Shaun to delete all my posts.Being a Bardet fan makes me feel intelligent as he's very philosophical,where as being a Pinot fan makes you a drama queen 😘
Au revoir...you big C..reme brulee xRight. That's it. I'm reporting you the the mods for that ad hominem attack. And I'm probably going to get Shaun to delete all my posts.
Yea probally and that little thing called being able to TT ?I think both have the talent but lack a team that can give them the support that they need
Again having the resources and scientific backing to spend the time on this certainly helps and given the lack of long TTs these days has negated some of this although you do have a point .I was more thinking of the ineos grind the oppostion down tactic for the rest of the race which neither of them has a team capable of doing so .Yea probally and that little thing called being able to TT ?
I'm pretty sure that Bardet is licking his wounds at the Giro this year instead.I'd really like Bardet to win.....there again I'd like Liverpool to lose a game ! Ain't happening
I also heard on the grapevine that Pinot broke his fingernail last week and may have to withdraw
