After a long transfer and rest day, Stage 10 of the 2018 Tour de France enters the Alps and the first of three stages that should ultimately decide the overall contenders. Team Sky have announced that Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas are currently in a dual-leadship position, and that it won't be until the end of these stages that the true leader is decided. Expect to see both riders really going for it today!

Stage Profile;
With some tough climbs followed by technical descents, expect to see the GC contenders looking to gain time over their rivals. Riders like Chris Froome or Vincenzo Nibali, who are great climbers but also very skilled descenders, will be the favourites.
The GC riders that have lost time over the first 9 stages will probably look to regain some time, so expect to see an attacking display from AG2R La Mondiale and EF Education-First Drapac. We could also see a breakaway victor if they work together and Direct Energie don't do their usual.
My Prediction;
Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) / Alejandro Valverde (Movistar)
Bernal is my man. If he gets the freedom of Froome.
