Jonas also wants to win both in the same year. Tadej isn't the only Grand Tour rider that has goals.

While I agree that it may be too early, it will be great fun to watch. My take is that it will come down to team strength. UAE has that in spades, Visma is up in the air, and Decathlon needs help.

Agreed. And he can't lose - if he does well, top 3, it's great, if he's outside top ten, then maybe he grabs a stage and the white jersey, still a win for him at 19. I've come around to the idea!
I think Bora will be worried now, could be very close 2nd to 5th...

Here's a better view of the grey/green INEOS kit. Grey/Green rather than Netcompany (Danish AI company!) because their green colour matches the TdF Green points jersey too closely.

So INEOS; multinational chemicals, Netcompany; AI and Total Energies; a petroleum company. All in a sport with no motors which for about a 150 years has been naturally green. Madness. I miss the days when most sponsors were household white goods, flooring, clothes soft drinks and sweets, for the bored housewives at home with the telly on!
Green or grey? Why Ineos had to tone down the colour scheme for their first jersey under new Netcompany identity
