White - Bardet (since when are we doing white?)

Only for this race. I had been considering adding it but hadn't got around to saying so here, but then people started making predictions for it anyway. On the whole, I don't think it's an interesting enough competition to be worth worrying about - would have been worth considering for the Giro as well except the favourites for the young rider competition were also among the favourites for GC - but there are enough interesting young riders in the TdF this year to make it worth paying attention to.

Mathews is out due to his crash, so I'll go for DeMare for white

 

[smutchin]

KOM - Rolland Froome

Changed my mind on this, based on the likelihood that the big mountaintop finishes, where most of the points are available, will see the main contenders slugging it out. Though I'm sure we'll get the privilege of seeing Rolland in his polka dot pyjamas again for at least a few stages.
