Yeah I think you might be.
Give the reining champion a sniff of a victory?
Naah.
+1 the plan is to crush him on the zoncalan and leave him pedalling squares to all compass points pitifully begging for mercy
But it is not an unlikely scenario and a minute deficit could leave it nicely in the balance.0 -
Very unpleasant mental images aside, what's happening?0

Why would Yates care too much about whether the break gets reeled in or not? Wellens, Battaglin, Brambilla have much more to gain from it coming back together, especially after yesterday's stage being so hard.
It's not a matter of Yates caring or not, more peloton etiquette that the leaders team is supposed to do a good share of the work keeping breaks in check. And it's on very stage0 -

20km to go, break is down to 3 riders, 1:28 ahead, almost certainly going to get caught.
Will be a crazy hard finish again, with everyone wanting to be at the front into the last couple of km.0 -

If they are happy with the break being 10 minutes up the road, and the other teams aren't, then etiquette doesn't really have a say in it.0 -
15km to go, break has 1:000
