The bookies chainrings rating:
Roglic
Dumoulin, Thomas
Froome, Kung, Kwiatkowski, Bodnar
G down around 4/1, Roglic is the clear favourite approaching evens at most places, then Dumoulin not too far behind with odds in the 6/4 to 17/10 sort of range (1.25/1 to 1.7/1). Thomas is between 3/1 and 5/1.
This compares to the Inrng ratings: Primož Roglič, Geraint Thomas Tom Dumoulin Froome, Küng, Latour
Pretty similar but Inrng reverses G and Dumoulin. Inrng says Thomas has already ridden the course 3 times and it was his pre-race target, but I guess the question is how easy he might take it. As he has noticeably longer odds than Roglic and Dumoulin he should be a reasonably safe E/W bet for OK returns, given what Inrng and other pundits are saying.
Not too sure if Kwia's odds are justified.0 -
Interesting bit of gossip, apparently an open mic behind the stage at the podium presentations last night caught Thomas discussing today’s time trial with Roglic, apparently Thomas said that Dumoulin had been right on his limit at the end of the stage.
Dumoulin could be cooked... Still would back him to produce a decent TT.0 -

Apparently miscalculated due to it being a minute thirty man - schoolboy error0 -

Only reason I knew was because he was an extremely cheap option in my fanstasy team, and being on BMC I thought he might pick up a point or two for the TTT.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

I liked that Boonen one from a few years ago where the oo was the balls. Had a good chuckle.0 -
I just tuned into ITV, apparently there has been something about Dumoulin's kit? They brought the wrong shoes or something?
Happy that Craddock has made it round and has the Lanterne Rouge to boot!0 -

I don't know, I just tuned in and Boulting was going on about how he couldn't believe what had happened with Dumoulin's kit.Above The Cows wrote:bobmcstuff wrote:I just tuned into ITV, apparently there has been something about Dumoulin's kit? They brought the wrong shoes or something?
