First time I agree with you.
This is a Classic. Race dymanic is different.jsem94 said:Sky will have 7 men left in the final 10km as usual probably. Bots controlling the race for Michal/Rosa/Moscon all the way.
I know that Sky has actually had some success in classics since then, but when I think of the "Sky Train" approach to classics, I always think of the 2013 GP Quebec, in which Sky killed themselves setting up a Froome attack on the last hill (https://youtu.be/NPHPkBLfYpw?t=4222), resulting in the lamest abortive attack by Froome I have ever seen (https://youtu.be/NPHPkBLfYpw?t=4381).Escarabajo said:This is a Classic.

"3 weeks off the bike" was the supposed timeline when the 2 fractured vertebrae were diagnosed. That would have had him ready for the Vuelta, but obviously he didn't start there, or the Tour of Britain. Would QS bring him since he's changing teams next year? Or put all their resources behind Alaphilippe and PhilGil? Too many chiefs could be a problem.
