Next year's tour will be so interesting. Really hope Jumbo is at full power then. No more gravel in Tom's knee, Van Aert fully recovered, everyone fit. They could finally legitimately challenge Ineos.

Yeah the whole 'Africa's Team' gimmick has been bullshit for years, sadly  

 

It's a shame, really, there are plenty of very talented Eritrean and even Ethiopian, Kenyan and Rwandan riders who'd have a good place in a team like that. Luckily other teams are picking them up nowadays too.

I'm mostly curious how it'll work to have Dumoulin and Roglic, two potential TdF GC winners, in the same team....kinda sad for Kruijswijk, I like him more than Dumoulin but this way his chances seem pretty much done

Well when Dumoulin shits himself going up Alp’d’Huez, so Kruijswijk will get his chance again

The problem is that I doubt they'll all three start in the same grand tour
