I'm not saying Marc Madiot spent half the night forcibly playing the Marseillaise to Pinot whilst showing him images of people riding to victory, but...
It's quite a dangerous stage finish for a isolated GC rider if you think about it . The flat run in . You don't want WVA up the road . It's a twofer for him. Gets the sprint points moves towards green .

For a while there I thought the entire peloton minus Aru was going to be the break, and Aru the peloton.
“Road racing was over and the UCI had banned my riding positions on the track, so it was like ‘Jings, crivvens, help ma Boab, what do I do now? I know, I’ll go away and be depressed for 10 years’.”

So Pinot - physical or mental? Maybe slightly physical but allowing it to affect him far more than it should. As someone who has always lacked the mental strength I know how easy it is to talk yourself into feeling every minor ailment. Wish they stop wasting camera time on him though.

Peloton not going that hard if Pinot has only lost a minute. Lots of little groups might get back on the descent as I can't see the favourites taking too many risks on this wet descent. Roglic will be glad to see the bonus seconds still on the cards.

I’m confused - was WvA in the break and did he drop back? He’s definitely in the peloton.
