Today´s (september 1, 2020) TdF stage was a mountain stage. It ended in a "1st category" climb. The first attack came when there were 500 meters left to finish the stage. Any good cycling fan miss Contador.

One of my favourite riders, I was at one of the bicycle shows, where he attended, when he had finished and was leaving, i remember seeing him walk past and there was a young boy who had been waiting Contador didn't see him at first, but i remember he looked back saw the young boy and he turned around and went back to the young boy went down to his level and he had a chat with him, signed his magazine and also stopped for pictures, the smile on the young boys face i will always remember...... from that day he became one of my favourite riders, not just for his riding, but for also the way he was that day.....

Denning76 Exactly, although Sky is strong I still enjoy to watch it. There also other contenders such as Quintana (however he’s out form for a couple of seasons in the Tour), Nibali (he’s getting older), Dumoulin (he has a shit team, for some reason keeps losing time due to mechanical issues, crashes, etc. and is injured at the moment so if he’ll make it in form to the Tour is still the big question) and Thomas, but he’s from the same team. And when riders such as Kruiswijk have a form peak can also be very strong, for example his Giro in 2016, where he simply destroyed his competitors, he however crashed and lost the Giro well their where only 2 real stages left and his lead was over 2 minutes and he was in everything the strongest...
