think some contenders on paper are

Mathieu van der Poel, Primoz Roglic, Tadej Pogacar, Nairo Quintana, Rigoberto Uran


think Peter Sagan is one to watch in the mountains, same goes for Bauke Mollema, Rafal Majka


as for sprinters, lucky for rest Cavendish isn't taking part, some chances for Wout van Aert or some more surprise sprint stage winners


am curious what the british can do, like Geraint Thomas or Chris Froome, or Adam and Simon Yates
