This is my first (half) season running PTP.

I may do tee shirts next year.

GC - I can see it being a very open Tour, and as such I'm going for the left field GC pick of Carlos Betancur.

I've no idea how his form is, or even if he's trying to complete the race, but he was good in the Giro.

Stage 1 standard pick of OPQS
