Takeaways From Ineos' Tour de France Team Announcement + ISN Demotes Froome

This week I go through Ineos' just-released Tour de France lineup (01:10), talk about the pros and cons of their selection, why they left Rohan Dennis at home, and if Richard Carapaz should be the team's main leader after his performance at the recent Tour de Suisse (14:10). Then I get into how to avoid falling into the trap of thinking second-tier riders will win the Tour (20:07) if Julian Alaphilippe is flying under the radar as a GC contender (22:47), if Jumbo-Visma is just a bad team now (30:30), why ISN made a mistake in sending Chris Froome to the Tour as a road captain (33:41) and then a few notes on the upcoming US Road Race Championships (37:51).
