Thought Bennett had gone too early again there but had the strength this time. All Sunweb's work counted for nothing, ran out of men when it counted.
Way way way too early to take it up at 3 k

They had men left in the finale, the problem was Asgreen dumped Mørkøv and Bennet into their train.
“Road racing was over and the UCI had banned my riding positions on the track, so it was like ‘Jings, crivvens, help ma Boab, what do I do now? I know, I’ll go away and be depressed for 10 years’.”
Movistar adopting a kind of Zubeldia approach to the team classification. Two top 10 finishes so far (a 10th and a 3rd) and yet they are leading it.
Moviestar being Moviestar.
Not exactly. Normally you notice Movistar because they're so demonstrably and ostentatiously shooting themselves in the foot in GC. This year they've been virtually invisible.

Ah, I was trying to think of a GC guy who was fulfilling that role. Bardet is close, but he did slightly stick his head above the parapet on stage 8 in a way that Zubeldia would never have done. He just needs to try slightly harder.

Zubeldia wouldn't be top ten this early. You need to look at someone like Mollema, Caruso, Buchmann or Mas.

Surely Buchmann is too far back? He'd have to do something to get noticed to get a decent finish. Mollema, Caruso and Mas are all excellent shouts.

Big Sagan fan, but a green jersey where he has to fight for it means so much more.
