TTT’s out the way, Sunweb doing a surprising double with wins for the men and women.
ITT tomorrow, should be a good one (good preview here). In two minds about the course. Certainly not a typical one, quite short, and the big climb to finish and a bike change zone will mix things up a bit. Most reckon it’s a two way battle between Froome and Dumoulin. Froome certainly seemed to peak at the Vuelta, but will he have held his form. Dumoulin looks on form too and should be better rested. If I was a betting man I’d probably go for Dumoulin.
ITT ladies, probably van Vleuten, that climb will probably tip it in her favour over van der Breggen.
As for the road race, rolling course should break things up and make it a great race. Three in a row for Sagan possibly?
