10 individual stages, 10 different winners. The last time that happened was the 1996 Tour.

Ahhh, fuck I didn’t change my road captain...
So I swapped out Bilbao yesterday...fucking brilliant.
The Sheriff is near!
I almost did my changes for the Time Trial and put Rohan Dennis in, apparently he abandoned the race today?

^^^And it seems no one other than Rohan Dennis knows why...and he isn’t talking
the Dennis thing is weird, bailed with his agent & the team is mystified...
GT says he's previewed the time trial course 3x...
weather looks mild/dry w/ no/low wind
Bernal is a possible top 10 finisher, but GT seems like a top 3 contender
With no Dumoulin or Dennis, there's space for Alaphillipe, Kwiatkowski, Porte, Fuglsang, Kruiswijk, or Van Aert...maybe Tony Martin again?
should be interesting
Can't help you with that but I'm impressed with ICEHOCEY's strategy...he dumped all the high point sprinters and picked up GT...I'm guessing you have to be out or close to out of credits but at this point you may it may not matter.

He has been having some disagreements with team.
He's not happy with his TT bike, and the team can't/won't say anything because Merida Bikes is the teams major sponsor.
They were also preparing a new prototype skin suite that has not been ready in time, or is not right.
He has quit teams mid season before, and will do it again.
It's not true that he disappeared and his team did not know where he was.
Basically the team did not want to answer questions, or justify why their World Champion Time Tribalist rider has quit on the eve of the TdF ITT.

Makes me wonder if he’s struggling with some form of depression...
Ouch...Van Aert!
Bad crash...vibes that he's OK but not looking good.

Yup, sad situation.
GT down the ramp...
Alaphilippe down the ramp...
Here we go!
Alaphilippe finished with seemingly plenty in the tank for someone who buried GT by 14 secs
Am I just bitter that my guy didn’t take it? Certainly possible...
It seems like a lot of folks are surprised at his strength
I was stunned by JA today! I am in the "anyone-but-Sky/Ineos" camp so loved it.
... but I am not saying it was the drugs,
... but drugs?
and how badly will Ineos try an bury him over the next week!
So does he have a chance?
Sir Whatshisface a week ago - "not a chance"
