Out of interest if there's only seconds in it, does the Rome stage still remain "processional" or is it there to be fought over?0

Why at what point is he going to put 50 seconds into Pozzovivo and minutes into Dumolin?
Pozzo could lose time if he gets out under pressure on a descent, I can't see Dumoulin losing minutes though. Yates though?
Froome's plan is to not take the Pink until stage 20. He's just avoiding the press .0 -

Can we really see Dumoulin riding better than Yates on the Queen stage? I could see Froome putting them to the sword however...
Interesting final few days.
Matt White said that they deliberately gave Jack Haig the day off yesterday, with these stages in mind.
Chaves did the initial damage to the bunch on Prato. He's looking better.
Kreuziger ain't exactly useless, either.
Sunweb have Ten Dam.
*cough* Sam Ooman0 -

there are time bonuses, but if TD was chasing them, for example, you'd have at the very least Scott and 6 or 7 sprinters teams who didn't want him to have them. You see how most of the early escapees get caught and spat out the back, he couldn't risk that.0 -

Sunweb have only really had Oomen and Bahrain seem to have one there at most. Any teammate for the last climb will be a luxury.

while everyone else at the sharp end has been all-in for the win, Pinot shows exactly why he will never win a GT:
