Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?

It will be miraculous if Jonas can go toe to toe with pog. There's way more talent in the tour though, I'm holding out hope it won't be pog's playground even with his strength of team. CRod or remco or rog on a good day can give him a scare. Maybe Jorgenson? He's still on the ascendency. Outside of freak circumstances I don't believe anyone else has the chops to challenge.

I still think most likely pog wins and UAE get another podium too, but hopefully we see a bit of life in the GC battle before then. Best case Jonas clings on as he races back to form and we get the showdown we dreamed of week three.
