According to the Danish cycling expert Emil Axelgaard, these are the favourites:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remco Evenepoel
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Matteo Jorgenson, Mattias Skjelmose
⭐⭐⭐ Romain Gregoire, Benoit Cosnefroy, Kevin Vauquelin, Paul Lapeira, Ben Tulett
⭐⭐ Andrea Vendrame, Alex Baudin, Quinn Simmons, Mauro Schmid, Clement Champoussin, Alex Aranburu, Axel Lauance, Andreas Kron, Jordan Labrosse, Ion Izagirre, Tibor del Grosso, Albert Withen Philipsen
⭐ Dorian Godon, Antoine L’Hote, Pello Bilbao, Mauri Vansevenant, Alexander Kamp, Quinten Hermans, Simone Velasco, Valentin Madouas, Anthon Charmig, Natnael Tesfatsion, Anders Johannnessen, Brady Gilmore
The big question here is if Vingegaard can win it, and I personally think he can. I've heard other people say it's not hard enough, though. But I think we're underestimating his punchyness, the only rider consistently more punchy on hard stages is Pog.
Alright, sounds fine then :) I know many authentic coins can seem cast, especially on pictures. When you have them in hand they usually seem fine.
That aside, I've always really liked tetrarchy-coins. There's just something about the regularity of portraits and the style which speaks to me, and underlines that the Tetrarchy was a definite and important break from the chaos of the 3rd century.
To me it looks a little bit like a cast copy, but it's always hard to tell from a picture and if you know it's from a legit source I am sure it's fine.
It should be a win for INEOS and everything after that is open. Maybe...
Ineos
Bora

Anyone but Pogacar!

I quite like these races, although Pogacar participating will remove most of the excitement for me :(
True to form, Danish national broadcaster DR posted a list of favourites featuring Arnaud de Lie who's not on the list of starting riders :D
Looks to me like another day for the GC guys masked as a puncheur-stage. So I expect this result:
I hope to see Skjelmose in top 10 - and I expect we'll also see Jorgenson, Vauquelin, Evenepoel, and Gregoire in the mix.
Thank you!
Yes, that's why I'm requesting someone adding this account as a mod :)

Putting feet there like it's a totally vanilla thing 😐
Sure, that sounds awesome 🙂 where're you going to scrape data from? Does PCS or FirstCycling have an API to hook into?
Thank you! Just printed on a regular printer, cut out, and applied with milk 😁

Nice obverse. Where did you get it?

That's a lot of special equipment & artillery. I wonder if they're doing a combined push & interdiction campaign in the south and how that would work.
