Excellent OP, OP.

Paris-Tours owned last year, anyone know if they’ve brought back the exciting route or the riders moaned them into making it boring again?

If they’ve specially designed the Tour for Alaphillipe maybe Wout can win it instead.

It's mostly just Wout smashing everyone so far, we should probably wait for more than a couple of major races to have happened before declaring TJV are that dominant.
