OT here but true story:
I was at a water park in Kentucky, admiring all the morbidly obese women rocking bikinis and the morbidly obese dudes stomping around with the NASCAR wife beater shirts. BTW, I was looking awesome with my tan lines and shaved guns..... My wife suddenly starts poking me in the ribs and whisper/yelling, "Look! Look!" Dude was strutting down the sidewalk with a giant, and I mean giant tattoo on his chest in big ol' gothic letters that read, "STRENGHT". :o I just about choked on my Dippin' Dots. Too funny.

OK back to topic :lol:

I'm intrigued to see if Uran can get through the first week without shelling 10 minutes by being in the wrong place the whole time. The weather for Holland, and the first few days in Italy, are good, so that shouldn't play a big part in proceedings. I recall that Uran did a great mountain ITT back in the 2009?? Giro when he rode for Caisse d'Epargne.

Have to smile when he said : "Who the hell wants to go 480w on the flat?" ehh me !
Think that's his power for the prologue, that's a big number !

Again on Cancellara, just said on Twitter that he's feeling ill after his last trainning yesterday so finally a win for Dumoulin ?

who the hell publicly speaks out about how he's feeling bad or ill just before a major event? looks like Fab's losing it (though he did have a solid spring) like he's dealing with some mental issues regarding his retirement. perhaps it's still to early to hang the bike?

Not surprising given what shit Cycling Weekly is but it's getting ridiculous. I'm all for asking questions but that article is barely even click bait.

The vibe I got from the Cannondale articles is they have a leader, some young guns, and a plan. That's it. Didn't seem overconfident at all. Compare that to year's past when they had a lot of veterans, multiple leaders, and nothing really coherent. They looked good at Romandie actually.

Yeah I feel like JV usually tries to reduce pressure by saying we don't have a single leader let's see how it goes. Love hating on JV but I would like to see Uran up there again.

my "underdog bet" for a good GC is on Rusvelo guys.
