I think Demare and Nizzolo will pick up some minor placings in the first few sprints but wind up duking it out for the ciclimina jersey in the end. If I'm wrong about that, it'll probably be Bauhaus' fault.
This relegation thing is wacky. In a good way. There are a lot of points out there in the Grand Tours and their prequels like Dauphine and Suisse. It'll be interesting to see if that puts someone else at the bottom, or it just puts those two further behind.
Does anyone know if there's a promotion system going in to the lower leagues, like you see in the Premier League? All I've seen this first year is that it's about trimming the World Tour from 19 to 18. Not about any ongoing churn.
