Jumbo visma look super strong. Last week hurt them though. Could be an outsider this year if not doumulan or roglic?

Pinot podium? 

Carapaz top 5. 

Bernal back injury. Ineos all over the place. 

Who else? 

Pogachar? 

Wish I'd have had a tenner on him! ??

Agree.  It was basically ignored that he was 5th on the stage, and only about 30s off Dumoulin.  As you say, Pogacar put in one of the best rides I can remember.  Even better than Lemond in '89, IMHO.
I can only think they expected it to be as per the TT at the Vuelta last year, where Roglic put a minute plus in to Pogacar.  Difference was though, that was stage 10, and after a rest day.  This was at the end of 3 weeks of one of the toughest parcours in a long time.

Simply nothing will ever out do the 89 finish. Just the images of Fingon bouncing off the barriers, Phil Ligget voice, Lemond’s face, etc. 
An American beating a Frenchman by eight second after coming back after 2 years  our from a near death shouting accident, come on, Pogacar is good, but not that good. Even an American surviving near death cancer and winning the tour 7 times wasn’t as good as 89 ??
