In hindsight if VdB had saved himself yesterday he'd probably win this despite being 3 minutes down. Everyone is just letting the young turks in the breakaway slowly trundle to victory. Fingers crossed CAS somehow pulls this off.
And we all thought the Giro was bad 100 times better off a race so far, at least there the course provides some natural selection because of the steepness of the climbs. These climbs 20 people can easily finish together
