Out of Pog and Rog, I'd put my money on Pog for sure. He has looked really good and certainly hasn't rested on his laurels following last year's win. Plus he's on a 'Nago.
It's weird that Ineos are the underdog, but as others have said they've got 3 GT winners plus Richie who looks amazing right now. The dynamics just within the team will be interesting for sure. But as always with GC over 3 weeks, there is an element of luck that gets thrown into the mix. The Wout v MvDP thing will be cool to watch play out, you have to feel that Matthieu has the advantage in that he doesn't have to ride for anyone else - but then again, he's not yet done a GT so it's still got of mystery around it. Should be a good edition. |

Ji-Moo, are you getting paid per keystroke, or just saving energy?

Home Team?
It has been 36 years since the Badger won one for the home team, maybe JA has adjusted his training and can ride it out the full three weeks this time? He and DQS have said he will not ride for the GC, but will target stage wins instead, perhaps that was a ploy to get the dogs off the hunt.

Sometimes it works. Day after day it does not. He is ill-disciplined but joyous. In short, all the things which make him so enjoyable to watch mean he will not win the Tour.

Does anyone know whether the tour is being shown this year on DIRECTV NBCSN channel 220 as it has been for years now? I heard back at the beginning of the year about NBCSN shutting down at the end of 2021 but that the tour would be shown this year as normal. Then over the past month or so seems like I see some sites that appear to say it will be shown as normal on NBCSN and some that say nope, you have to sign up for a streaming service to watch it at all. Which makes me nervous because we live in the boonies where DSL is as good as it gets. I thought I had a year to sort all this out but I also don't want to wait until the last minute since the tour starts on the 26th. If I have to give Roku or something like that a shot I'd rather try it and see if it works this weekend and at least know whether I'm going to be able to watch it at all this year. thanks

I haven't read through the whole thing, but hopefully this will help you figure out if you will get the coverage via DirecTV

Thomas looked very good at the Dauphine’, as did Porte. And Ganna. And…well, the whole freaking team looks tanned, rested and ready to steamroll.
Not an Ineos fan, myself, but they look awfully strong and terrifically well organized. Hoping for One More Greenie for Sagan, but Sam could do it again. |
