Well, the Criterium du Dauphine is over and Chris Froome won it again. In the past, this has led to him winning the biggest of the Grand Tours.

So it's time to place your bets.

I'm going to get in early and go for someone who avoided the Dauphine and, as is the (sad) custom of today the Giro, as preparation for LeTour.

I'm going for Nairo Quintana.

I believe that no Columbian has won the Tour before (although several stages have been won by them). He isn't the greatest of time triallers, but I'm going to chose him anyway.

Any more takers?

I will start one for the Tour of Britain as well. Lots of World teams are riding this year, so likely to be a few big names in there. Full list of teams undecided yet, so plenty of time to pick a rider.

I see that the UCI carried out over 3750 checks on bike on The Tour for "mechanical doping" or as they say "technological fraud" and none were positive.
