    And exactly why are Jumbo on the front of both groups? Is this some great strategy that I don't understand?

    Get close enough so Vingegaard can attack and get to WVA just at the summit?

    I suspect is WvA doing his own thing and Jumbo doing theirs...

    I know they'll probably win the Tour, but Jumbo-Visma tactics are nonsensical and have the potential to be counter productive.

    This is very much the lesser side of the Tourmalet. Definitely the one to descend if you have the choice.
