    He's going backwards now but will probably get back on the descent.

    UAE doing the right thing ? Bluffing it?

    Jumbo and UAE bluff each other out of this

    Might have to switch to ambient sound as Kirby combined with JV telling us how brilliant and cool his riders are is a challenge.

    Oh is that who that is

    Yeah, wtf... I am not sure letting Hindley have a 4 minute lead is super smart myself.

    Jumbo will have to ride at some point

    It’s the point I was making earlier, but folks thought me wrong.
    Even Jonathan Vaughters isn’t sure what’s the right call.

    4 minute lead for Hindley and co now.

    Rather a lot for a Giro winner.

    Bit of road left to pull it back but if they don't do some of it on the flat it's going to be a problem

    Following via PCS, this thread and The Guardian. Are we thinking UAE/Jumbo don't see Jai as a threat, or are they bluffing each other?

    I reckon Pog and Vin will be pretty confident of putting 3-4 mins into Jai over the next few weeks.

    WvA is ridiculous. He's 15kg heavier than JA.
