    Surprised how small the peloton is considering how easily they took things after the break got established.

    Once it was obvious that there wasn't going to be anyone bridging across to them, I've no idea why they contributed, and especially no idea why they would sprint for 6th place. Maybe Hessmann just fancied getting his best GC stage finish.

    I reckon JV had a plan but it was aborted

    Not gona lie it wasn't the most interesting of stages. If you've time, watch the climb from 45 k to go, but you can fast forward from the top to the finish as there was only 1 attack and they pretty much just rode together

    Thankyou - I'll probably pass in that case, as time is short today, and it sounds like it was effectively
