There have been a few good attempts but there are no really technical sections or slight hills where you could ride away.This is a really weird battle for the breakaway, 40k in and barely anyone has put in a truly big effort to pull away.
That looks like a lot more than 2 riders down to me...UAE 2 riders down apparently, if not this stage then what are they good for
??????Sprint teams not wanting to let many too far up the road so they can get the sprint points then things should calm down.
It wouldn't put any pressure on, though. There is zero chance of Thomas making a move before the little wall at 4k to go, by which point having someone up the road would be irrelevant even if he somehow dropped everyone. The stage they should be saving themselves for is on Saturday.Swift x2 and Narvaez should be moving, at least try and put some pressure on
Problem is Ganna, Foss and Sheffield are saving it for the tt
