I’m feeling a bit deflated as a neutral fan as it looks pretty sewn up unless Jonas has a crash/illness, but surprised there’s not more chat about the stage. It was a barnstormer.
I think it’s become way more interesting. GTs are so unpredictable these days
Bora has a strong team. I dont think TJV will take yellow easily without a lot of work.
UAE screwed themselves riding so hard the first few stages. Even if pog recovers his domestiques look spent. Bjerg’s mask of pain is unreal. I wish formolo was here as well. Those two have epic pain faces
Can anyone explain why TJV sent so many guys into the break? I am so confused… But i love that wout can be mixing it up in a mass sprint one day and then less than 24h later in a breakway at the front of the race over an HC climb… Unreal…
Seems that’s their strategic direction. They have a bunch of rouleurs so just get kuss and jonas over the hills and give them a satelite rider to pace the flats. It seems to work nicely and gives a decent amount of tactical leeway depending how each stage goes. Wout can even be a very strong first man on the final climb.
Yeah I still don’t see it. Weird
