I think the podium at the end is Ash, Demi, AVV. Not in that order...

Yeah I'll go with that too but I wonder if Ashleigh can actually do it... :unsure:

Annemiek will win, Demi second imo just like last year and hopefully Ash can make it onto the podium. Hopefully she'll finish this year..

Demi, AVV, Ash. That order.

The route suits that. Remember Demi beat AVV in the recent Dutch TT champs. And Ash appears to be on the form of her life.
 
Aw, disappointed that they didn't do the Patrouille flyover this year.

Also because of the Olympics next year we won't see the Champs Elysees :( They'll finish in Nice. Not only that but next year's stage 21 is a TT, the first time the Tour will end with a TT in my lifetime.

So next year the yellow jersey could maybe be lost on the final day. Although if this year's TT is anything to go by then Vingegaard will again be unbeatable.

Unless Vingegaard will be focusing on the Olympics instead. Don't know what his plans are for next year :unsure:
 
Yoh that was a close one! Jordi Meeus wins the final stage juuuuust ahead of Philipsen

If you look at Lemond v Fignon a final day TT can make history.

I hope he doesn't. He's the best grand tour rider in the world. He won't stand a chance against Pogacar in something like Worlds or Olympics or Flanders etc.

And Roglic would best them both in the Olympic TT.

Yeah they chatted about that yesterday. Vingegaard will win again if he can repeat this year's performance which he probably will.

Yeah in his post race interview he said he definitely plans to win his 3rd Tour next year so we'll see.

I think a few riders will quit the Tour next year though because the Olympics start less than a week after the Tour.
 
This year's tour had it's moments, most for most part it was as bland as the new green jersey.

I hope when Evenepoel races next year we're going to have a good one.
And hopefully Tadej will be 100% from the start.
 
Yeah to me the Tour is never bland overall. One or two boring stages like the sprint stage where they joked around but great stuff for the most part like every year. Some great racing and loved the battle between Tadej and Jonas.

Wish there were more sprinters to challenge Philipsen though. The green jersey competition isn't as fun as it used to be. Most of the sprinters were nowhere to be seen and some went home. But I feel like no one could do anything about Philipsen anyway.
 
Ashleigh now 2nd overall after Demi was penalised. 49 seconds behind. Imagine if she goes on to win :cool:

3 more days to go.
