A profile made for Meersman, but I'd imagine after the weekend they will all want a break and another rest day, so will be very happy to see a breakaway stay away.

Will he end up like this if he tries the Froome special?

I think so. Tbf that northern descent of the Stelvio is sketchy, the surface was terrible in 2014.Correlation is not causation.0 -

No issues with his descending then if he did that in the snow/wet...0 -
I don't think a 1000m descent over 50km is going to be problematic. That profile makes it look like something it's not!0

There's nothing 'wrong' with his descending. He's just not as fast as some of the other GC guys as he's Teeny Tana.Correlation is not causation.0 -
Can I register a protest against that nickname? :evil:0

Sorry. And yes it isn't really a descent. It's a bit like Sestriere to Pinerolo, if the wind is blowing up the valley it's actually hard work.Correlation is not causation.0 -
