    How fast are we expecting the lead group to climb ADH? 35-40mins?

    42-45 mins.

    Without wishing to sound like Kirby, who does everyone think will win today?

    Lennie Kamna or Turbo Durbo.
    Mick Woods?

    Isn't Louis Meintjes likely to win?

    I will be so happy if Froome wins lol. I didn't even think I liked him that much but it would be such a great comeback.

    Not even sure who's favourite from this group. Meintjes? Pidcock?

    This is local Amsterdam wine, Poeh Poeh...

    Was very skeptical when I was bought it, but it's OK, a light fresh summer rosé.
