Are Jumbo Visma the strongest team

They announced all three leaders will take part, Roglic, Dumolin and Kruiswijk.

The supporting cast of Tony Martin, Wout van Aert, Sepp Kuss, Robert Gesink and Laurens De Plus sounds very strong too. Kuss had some great performances in the Vuelta last year, van Aert before his crash last year was even doing great in the Tour. They should dominate the TTT for sure.

We are all anxious to find out if you are correct or not.

Wonder what surprises Covid will bring whether just crowd control or riders getting out of what ever bubble they are supposed to be in.

Jumbo sure looks strong. The EF team looks good too. I'd like to see Vanmarcke win Roubaix.

What a performance, eh?

On the other hand, Ineos did some nasty work on Stage 3 of Tour de Occatanie yesterday, Froome, Hart, Sivakov and then Egan unleashing, looked as strong as ever. Especially if Froome plays domestique, I found it odd that he did yesterday, the Tour is so close, if he is a contender he should race differently now already.

I'm a huge fan of Sepp Kuss, but Groenenwegn should be banned for no less than 1yr after that stage 1 finish in Tour of Poland. That was a dirty move.

Tour de l'Ain stage 2 today really showed who is boss.

Bernal > Thomas >>>> Froome

And Jumbo Visma >>>> Ineos

Only Bernal could keep up, the last 6 man group had 3 Jumbo riders and only Bernal was up there. I really think Roglic could beat the Ineos streak this year. He is definitely superior in TT than Bernal and there are no stages well above 2000m this year where Bernal might excel.
