I've not been taking many turns at the front of the peloton this season so apologies for that, but let's get the first Grand Tour thread up and running.
Interesting times, these. Roglic is really on fire this year and has had the best of Dumoulin so far. Simon Yates has been relatively quiet but has peppered his year so far with a couple of wins - including a time trial of all things - that show the Vuelta winner is probably keeping something back at the moment.
And the route is time trial heavy. A short one to start, a long uphill one on stage 9, and a grand finale in Verona.
