So Ciccone actually gapped TGH in the end! Where did TGH finish?

About Kuss, I was indeed surprised to see that his best ever return is a lowly 510 points. Barring major illnesses or injuries, he should be able to better this. Jumbo does like their 2 leader for GTs and if Roglic skips the TDF, I think Kuss will be their secondary card. So I'm expecting Kuss...

My guess is that it's about him contracting covid a second time

Are they taking a completely new route up the Col d'Eze? I know that they have used different approaches to it in the past, but never remember it being as steep as this one.

Submitted my team. My first time participating, so lets see how it goes.
