    Pasqualon might be dropping back to help him
    If Mads has legs he's got half his team here to help him, could do some damage

    Do we think the Jumbos will try and get time on GC, or be there to help with a Roglification?

    Ok emolo sent a man trying to bridge and simultaneously chased on the front of the bunch threatening that break ...which is backing off a tad to let the bridging riders in

    It worked, but not before Trek made it clear he wasn't bringing Milan with him.
