I wonder who is going to win this one?

Tour de France: Britain's Chris Froome says 2020 Tour route is 'brutal' as he aims for fifth title - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/50058599

Will Ineos put Froome on the winners podium for the 5th time? Will Bernal, Thomas and Carapaz be content with super domestique duties? An interesting race to look forward to.

Not Froome, cannot see him come back and beat the internal and external competition. My guess is that crash was career ending at the grand tour winner level, but let's see. The route definitely looks good. I like the uphill TT on the second to last day!

The TT up the Planche is the eye-catcher. Wonder if they’ve reduced the high-altitude stages in an attempt to nullify Bernal? (I don’t know if there’s is less high altitude stuff yet as haven’t had chance to analyse so it’s just an idle musing)
