Oddsmakers are putting Ryder's chances at a GC win in the 50:1 range. Ouch!

We doing a fantasy pool?
I don't think many people, including informed Canadians are expecting him to win… podium would be awesome.
Yah, I know. I'd like him to have a healthy race and finish well, as I think he's done all the work and paid the dues for it.
But … nobody expected him to take the Giro last year, either …

Before he crashed out of Swiss, I was thinking Ryder had some surprises in for us. Not so sure getting scuffed up is great training though. I can already hear the Phil and Paul show in my head. I'll have to dig deep into my suitcase of courage to keep the sound up. Poor ol' Phil and Paul.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

I like them in a Bob Cole, Murray Walker sort of way. It kind of gets old but there's that knowing that eventually they'll retire and things won't quite be the same. Maybe I'm just a sentimental old fart myself.
Wrong. Always.

I'm gonna laugh so hard when Froome tests positive in the future, maybe not this year but at some point. He's blowing hard on the clean racer image. It's erking me.
Donkey to Thoroughbred…. Riiight!
