Vine, Vermote, Colnaghi and Wisniowski are all definitely wrong.
And somehow they miss Carapaz on that list...

Not enough people working behind, UAE have completely disappeared for some reason.

I've always loved this race. It usually provides fun stages and long range attacks on the traditional Besseges stage
This year I think they got a bit carried away with the MTF / uphill finishes though. I would skip tomorrow's finish and have a traditional sprint instead, and flip the order of Bouquet and the usual Besseges stage.
As for the stage, it's great to see Hagen turning back the clock. If Total had saved him (I think he was the one pulling the most with Wisniowski on the break) he might have had a chance to take the win. And Bettiol has a nice chance for GC now.

If now that he hasn't track training hampering him he has got his climbing legs back a top 10 in this field wouldn't be surpring with the climbing level he has shown during the 2020 Giro. But apperently a couple of days ago he has said to the Gazzetta that he has done specific works to give a shot to Roubaix so probably is still not at his best. Anyway he also said that after Roubaix he's going to drop weight and work on his climbing for the Tour and Tosatto said that they'll give total freedom to him in France so prepare yourself for July because could be that they'll turn him into the missing GC rider.Watch Ganna make front group on Bouquet now he's still in GC...

On the december training camp he smashed one of their short training climbs on la Palma towards the end of a long ride.
1.62kms at 6.6% in 3:23, with an average of 586W. That was after over 4.5 hours of riding and on the 12th ascent of that climb.

Today's finish is 1.6 kms at 6.4%, would be interesting to see what he could do if he'll try to go for the sprint. In the past he has already showed some aptitude for punchy finishes even when he was nowhere near his current level, think for example of his 4th place in Lago Punta Negra at the 2018 Vuelta San Juan.

They've basically done the miniature version of climbing Aubisque from the western side and then only handing out mountain points on Soulor.
