    That's a disaster for Paolini. A lot of hills and cobbles in quick succession here so hell struggle to get to the front for a while

    Super pleased for Brammeier its always nice to see someone achieve their goals, especially when they've planned so meticulously for it.

    Pelton has decided it's too early to gamble on attacks. I wonder if anything much will happen before the final feed zone in 30kms time.
