Is there any scenario where Henao can win today's stage? riding well, won't have to do much work during the day so Poels and Nieve can take it pretty deep. Could well attack late on and then if they all look at each other he could forge on whilst Movistar get organised. Longshot but 66/1 with beteveryday.
Like it. Henao has looked really good on the climbs.
The Tour hits Andorra, billed as the Queen stage & expected to be another GC battle. We'll see, after today's surprise tactics, what does Sky have in mind. Another crushing stage win, or revert to controlling & squeezing the fight out of the peloton.
Think it's 50/50 for a break to succeed. So a small bet on Diego Rosa (again), he rolled in with the gruppetto, so is either saving himself for today, or F**ked. 100/1.
Been impressed with both Dan Martin & Purito. As good a start to a Tour as I remember. Both live in Andorra & know the route well. Either could nick the yellow jersey with a well timed attack & bonus seconds. Around 12/1 is not much to go on though.
Early days, but surely his to lose after that performance.
Quintana will only get stronger & more dangerous as the race goes into the Alps. Froome taking as many seconds as possible while he can. Brewing up nicely.
If you've watched these you may have noticed a lack of Michael Matthews. He is pretty much frozen out by the rest of the riders, seen as selfish & not a team player. He'll be off next season. Chris Juul-Jensen on the other hand is a great fit for the team.
