That's the plan. With only three Grand Tour winners, two World Champions and the most successful one week rider of the last decade, they're looking a bit threadbare.

No love for Geraint's 3 rainbow jerseys or Olympic medals?

MvdP attacks over the last climb and it's race on!
Alaphilippe and Carapaz with him plus a handful of others

Well that was a fun last 30km. MvdP takes the win with a long sprint from a reduced bunch

DQS rider must be so happy he put in that huge turn to pull the Movistar rider back only for MvdP to trounce him in the sprint. Wasted energy on that early move.
MvdP gets the overall because Alaphilippe didn't get second place, right?
Yep. Alaphilippe didn't get second so he's second in gc by a second.

Just a shame that no-one, not even Hatch, mentioned the person who came second, Laporte.
As Blazing said in the other thread Hatch did mention him. I missed it at first and just checked it back. It took until the second replay but he then listed the first 5 places. Prior to that he was trying to work out the implications for the yellow jersey so was concentrating on MvdP and JA whilst speculating whether MvdP had got a gap (I still think he did but the official results obviously disagreed). I did find it surprising he needed a replay to check if JA had come second or third as it was clear he was third even on my laptop screen in realtime.

If he wants to win he needs to be more selective about which riders he cuts up.
