Before the start of the Tour de France this Saturday, the RMC Sport editorial team is launching into a competition of more or less improbable predictions. Lenny Martinez yellow jersey for at least one day, Tadej Pogacar who wins the general with a 10-minute lead over his runner-up… Do you think that’s crazy? Some people believe it. And get wet.
“But yes, of course I had announced it!” Yes, you have already come across this colleague proudly arriving at the coffee machine on Monday morning after an improbable result during a major sporting competition, even if no one remembers the prediction in question. Hence the interest in writing down all these predictions. To congratulate the real geniuses and denounce the imposters. Before the start of the Tour de France (June 29-July 21), the editorial staff of RMC Sport is getting involved and placing its bets. We promise to take stock in three weeks when we arrive in Nice.
