Thanks for doing the event :)!
Even if it's my home country Tour, I took a break from cycling after the Classics so I'm not yet fully focused on it. For the GC, I have only one hope: everyone but Froome :D

14 hours to go until first stage, an individual time trial in Jerusalem. ^^

I hope that too and he took already 40 seconds on Froome.

They should because they are not winning that much races this season. ;-)

Yeah and Greipel isn't getting any younger for the stages disputed in a (mass) sprint.

At least he managed his second win of the season a couple of days ago. He won a stage at the 4 Jours de Dunkerque.
I think this will be the level of competition where he can still compete at, but I don't see him winning stages at the bid races.

He won the second stage of the Vierdaagse van Duinkerke and that made it his 150' win as a professional rider and it was also only his second race after he broke his collarbone during a crash in Milaan-Sanremo.

I'm so happy that this event has so many followers, I'm Italian but I've never been that much into cyclism but I understand that it's an huge event that involves the whole world and it's very popular here! :)

I've always been a huge fan of Colombian climbers, so I'm very happy for Chaves, but of course Yates was super-impressive!
Let's see if this is a one-off or if he will be a serious contender

Simon Yates is clearly the top favorite now and if he can hold his form I don't know who will rival him at the moment.

I agree too that Yates is the number one favourite right now, but I think it's early and I see it open for the top 4 (Yates, Chaves, Pinot,Dumoulin). Can't see anyone else getting in . of course in 2 weeks I can still come back to this comment and see how wrong I was :D

What a stage! What a finish! One of the best I saw this year, worthy of a Belgian classic!!
Maybe I got carried away a bit lol, but hats off to Yates and Dumoulin

No one expected Sam Bennett to go that soon; he just left them all standing there. And no Max Verstappen in sight. ;)
He certainly has a nice girlfriend too. :p

A lot will have not seen this coming and possibly have written him of, prematurely.

Giro d'Italia 2018
Also running: Spanish Grand Prix 2018
Here we are again; with Tom winning last year, how can I not do another event? :)
How it works
Predict who is going to win each stage of the Giro.
Preview
This event is a little more limited than the Tour de France event; no Tour Touristique and the preview is just a direct copy/paste from the official site. I did add some suggestions, more to follow.
