Since his passing, there hasn't been a Tour that I haven't missed Paul Sherwen's informative and genuine interest in the numerous landmarks scattered along the route. I am sure this year will be no exception.
I doubt very much that Vingegaard will be the one to challenge Pogachar this year. Should Vingegaard find form, he will still be without the services of Sepp Kuss. Rogolic? Remko? We will have to see. But it is the Tour and unexpected things tend to happen very quickly.
But to be honest, I don't get hung up on the GC. I have also learned, years ago, not to get attached to cyclists, because the guy you cheer for today might be the villain who gets kicked off the Tour for doping tomorrow. (I am looking at you Alexander Vinokourov.)
Hopefully this will be a better year for the breakaway than last year. Otherwise I fear a boring procession for Pogachar. But, hey, at least the scenery will be beautiful...
