Vingard’s relentless mountain pace and tactical team support are his biggest weapons. Expect fireworks in the Alps and Pyrenees. Remco Avenol, Olympic champion and time trial ace, is out to conquer the tour. His pseudo Quickstep squad will back his aggressive style, especially on the clock. The question, can he handle the high mountains for 3 weeks? If he does, he’s a real threat for yellow. Primo’s Raglick now with Red Bull Bora Hans Growa is chasing the one grand tour that’s eluded him. His explosive finishes and experience make him a danger on every summit.
