Yeah I wish there was more of a battle, but it looks like the Tour is mostly decided. Tadej's dominance makes me think a new generation of riders will be needed to find someone who can beat him on the alpine stages.
Paul Seixas is one of the up and comers who is getting stronger by the day, though he probably still needs a few more years of development.

I guess I don't know enough about how these athletes develop but is Florian Lipowitz (24) too old to be a prospect? 3rd place in his 1st tour seems pretty good... might be doing better if he wasn't tied to Roglic...
Sad to see Remco leave today although his "no balls" comment to Jonas last year made me dislike him...

Not too old, he will probably keep getting better for another 5 years or so.
In fact, there are a bunch of 24-25 year olds that are on the cusp of greatness, but the trouble is Tadej is only 26, so he may also get better each of the next few years too.

How much better can you get? Jonas is a class above the rest and somehow Tadej is a class above him... everywhere you go (youtube/reddit comments) people are insinuating about drug use...
