    Ineos go to the front. Interesting. Maybe they weren't bluffing with Sivakov up the road for Bernal.

    Thought Ineos would let JV tire themselves out longer.

    Mmmmm, that descent could cause a few brown shorts moments for the peloton.

    Mollema was the rider who ended up in the hedge.
    Looked to be a wrist rather than collarbone.

    broken wrist ? that's the rest of the season gone if confirmed
    Now confirmed I think.

    Do Ineos just want prime position on the descent, or is this all the start of something more? Jumbo didn't really seem to compete to be at the head of the race there.

    Ineos may come off the bottom of the descent with gaps

    Latter me thinks.

    Roglic is better downhill than Bernal and it's not like they don't have one of the best descenders in the peloton in their line (WvA).

    Yeah, didn't expect Ineos to try and take time on the descent, but wondered if they're starting to find out what legs Jumbo have.

    They're still on the front and they're not going downhill anymore, so I guess that answers the question.

    Bernal's a great descender.

    Small roads you can cause a lot of pain behind

    Bernal's a great descender.
    I would rate them both in the same class
