[image] Ineos Grenadiers announce Tour de France team - There's no spot for Froome or... Froome will target the Vuelta while Thomas heads to the Giro

Neither G or Froome looked that great recently so perhaps the extra time will give them a chance to build towards a grand tour. It’s impressive to see where Froome has got back too, but I do think it’s too much of an ask to see him win a grand tour again.

I think Ineos are still good to win the tour even with jumbo looking incredible. May depend on how well they recover from their injuries to whether than can knock Ineos off their perch. Sepp Kuss is an absolute machine. And at only 59kg surely a future tour winner.

I think Froome is more likely to win another one than Thomas. Thomas winning in 2018 was really a surprise - fully deserved win and he was undoubtedly the strongest rider in that race, but prior to that he’d always looked like a superdomestique who was very comfortable in that role and didn’t have …

I would guess Bernal and Carapaz will be Co Leaders. Whilst they are both great for the mountain stages, I dont think they have a top level TT in their legs to challenge Roglic. TJV to win the Tour this year for me.

Even if he is not at his best, Thomas in his current form is of more use to INEOS than some of those going. Froome isn’t a huge surprise (although I thought they would take him, TBH) but Thomas getting stiff-armed and the. Carapaz getting the nod are huge surprises. Carapaz has not looked great in …

It’s not all that surprising if you watched the Dauphine, however it still feels weird. Ineos going to the tour without a British leader for the first time is just…strange.

Can we refrain from calling him G? As far as I know we’re not his mates.

No Froome or Thomas at the Tour

I would agree although Thomas could of won last year too if they’d backed him. Although they were right not to.
