According to that Fellrunner look alike magazine in book maker odds order:
1. Vingegaard
2. Pogačar
and then making up the numbers
3. Jai Hindley
4. Enric Mas
5. Richard Carapaz
6. David Gaudu
7. Ben O'Connor (66:1 level)
8. Mikel Landa
Then there are Romain Bardet, Adam & Simon Yates,...and Froome at 500:1
"...as dry as the Atacama desert".
Hard to disagree with that really.
Incidentally, seeing Ben O'Connor on that list reminds me what a great insight into the tour the Netflix documentary series has been. Well worth a watch if you subscribe to the channel (or have a daughter who does....)

Having watched Gaudu riding badly at the Dauphine, I can't see him getting sixth or anywhere near it.Originally Posted by Graham Breeze
There is a big question over what form Pogačar will have, so I think it's Vingegaard's to lose. As to the rest, these two will have to pull out of the race for anyone else to win
Outside of Pogacar and Vingegaard the rest are nowhere near, as I alluded to on the Bike Racing thread post Dauphine.
There doesn't look much of a threat in the Tour de Suisse either.
Perhaps Bernal will be the one for the podium.

I'm surprised MVDP didn't make the list. This season he seems to have seen the sense of less racing and more training and his TT is starting to come together.

The physical attributes that make him great for certain races work against him in Le Tour; he's physically too big to ride up long ascents fast enough. If you look at Graham's list of favourites with the bookies, they're all exceptional or very good climbers
