  The only way he's going to win it is if a) he gets remarkably better and (crucially) more consistent at climbing over 3 weeks, or b) if his main rivals are absent/have major misfortunes of their own. And it's possible he might need both of those things to happen in tandem. I've mentioned his palmares before and he's only podiumed three times at the major one week stage races, winning none (so far) out of 12 participations. And this is from a rider who has apparently been focusing on GC riding? You'd expect a rider with serious GT/Le Tour ambitions to start knocking off the one week races at least. He's at 50% DNF for GTs, in only 6 participations. Roglic (for example) has 17 GT participations, 5 WINS and only 5 DNFs - if you want to talk about another rider with a reputation for coming off his bike. I know Remco is still "young", but that's becoming less and less so every year and with the level of the current crop of 19-23 year old's out there, he's caught between a rock and hard place waiting for Pogi and/or Jonas to retire before these kids take their place. He's still a great rider and his classics/Monument/WC wins are epic, but this Tour victory dream - I just don't see it.

  It’s not a new thing though is it?

  I agree with Andy. We have seen enough of Rev to form conclusions and he simply is not consistent in the high mountains. One day he can climb with the best , then suddenly he will drop like a stone and cannot challenge the 2nd run of climbers. On top of that he crashes a lot. He does a lot of hand waving and talks a lot about balls but that dont win GTs Sexias is an unknown quantity, nobody knows how he will perform over 3 weeks

  Guess you weren't watching Strade this year or the Euro road championship last year !

  You do realize he was coming into this after a serious crash ? His racing form is not top notch now if you had paid attention to his quotes after the first stage.

  Doper DS Wanna BE Horner didn't understand that he was toast and had nothing left ! His 20/20 hindsight analysis is plain bullsh$t !

  Or maybe it was that time he was scratching his chin, implying he was the/a goat. I can see why that would rub people the wrong way.

  Really, Naesen does talk too much. Whenever a Decathlon ruder speaks, 90% of the time it's him

  At least Pogačar doesn't need to go to Ibiza after each race

  He's still recovering from his Catalunya crash. His form was not great on stage 1 (Tommaso Dati left him in his wake), and here he had no chance of following the top guys. Considering that his team still have Chris Harper (8th overall, 29 seconds behind) as a GC card, Pidcock did not need to push. One thing's clear - Pidcock will not be in the fight for Liège-Bastogne-Liège
