Flanders and RB are going to be interesting. MVP was starting to come into his old form at AT. With more riders attacking riders might open up more possiblity.
I think Wout's recovery from the injury has been almost unbelievable. Not winning has made think that maybe he isn't juicing. Still his season might go down as one of the greatest ever. Must admit I'm not a fan as he likes to moan too much.

Something I didn't think of is the classics will have more Grand Tour contenders than normal who have good form

Some great racing. Watch the last stage of The Binck Bank Tour and female LBL.
Also Evie Richards a young British off-road racer mashing short course MTB. I've been following her since he went from the back to the front to win a WC CX race

Schoolboy and hilarious....
Less so for G crashing badly while not even racing. Looks like his Giro is over. So, Mr Brailsford, how’s Froome?

Yes very classy attack. When I first saw him attack up the hill i thou he was on a good day because I know he doesn't like hills. Classic keep hitting them until they hesitate then don't look back.

Ok that is like me once out sprinting a British Triathlete, who had races in the ITU WC, the weekend before, in a Duathlon. Problem was it was women not someone like Tim Don
