Pinot tends to be very cautious in the wet. There were clear splits.

But did he gain on Dumoulin or Spilak?

I think he will get a few more tomorrow as he has more punch than the others.
It is certainly nice to see. The riders he has beaten in the U23 WC are already having some great results (Yates brothers, Alaphilippe, Meintjes, Ewan, Formolo). It's hard to believe this guy bridged to Alaphilippe, dropped him on a climb and soloed to a victory less than 2 years ago. It must be a little frustrating to him, but he is smart, he is a year or two younger than most and he knows he has time. He had some problems with injuries, too. I'm sure his time will still come.BigMac said:Mohoric showing signs of life.
You could say the same about Davide Villella, his 2013 season was amazing, winner of Giro Ciclistico della Valle d'Aosta with 2 stage wins and then he got third in Emilia and won the Piccolo Giro di Lombardia as a Stagiaire for Cannondale, both guys have also raced on the same teams since then.johnymax said:It is certainly nice to see.

Sometimes it seems Garmin and LottoNL and IAM are on totally different levels then the rest.

Yep, Garmin's certainly one of the problems.

If that's a "record" he should content with, it's as low as the man is.
