What a brutal course.
Well, without the three wunderkinders, it looks like a race between the 'oldies'. The shortest odds are on Geriant Thomas, Simon Yates, Jakob Fuglsang and Steven Kruijswijk. I couldn't pick between them, but I'd like to see Geraint as the winner.
The sprinting should be good with Bling and Sagan. I think Sagan might be riding angry after the Tour so he's my pick.
Hey - re Stage 1 - how unusual is it to have a downhill TT? That looks unorthodox to me. Good way to warm up I suppose.

They had one in the 87 Giro. Down the Poggio. Crazy. Roche won. He used a normal road bike with spoked wheels because it’s a bit bumpy and he was worried about using a disc. Roche could be very conservative with equipment selection and have it pay off. He did the same in the 75km TT in the 85 Tour. Used a road bike with Roval wheels (probably the first pre built lightweight minimal spoke wheel) instead of a TT bike with a disc. He got second, Hinault smashed them on a TT bike (he probably would have won on a postie bike), but Roche beat everyone else who had gone all in on their equipment.

I have never been to a Sizzler. Have I missed anything besides massive food poisoning?
He will live. He has survived having ****yvirus for decades
I distinctly remember asking for a rare steak. It came out with a little sign stuck in the meat saying 'rare'.
It was cooked well done.
You have my sympathies. It is a truly tragic thing when a so-called steak house cannot cook steak.
Which reminds me ..... what ever happened to Black Stump restaurants?
