It's done, give the trophy to Fuglsang.Interesting stage that needed a harder finish.
I disagree. The stage is actually more interesting the way it is constructed.

If the stage had finished with a tough climb, it would favor Fuglsang, because he is the best climber. Now he may be isolated earlier on because the hardest climbs come early in the stage. When isolated he will have to answer attacks in easy terrain which is a lot harder than answering attacks on tough terrain.

Congratulations with your second Dauphine, Mr. Bird.
Best rider of 2019. Until now. Together with Ala maybe.
I'd rank Roglic and Fuglsang as the best one-week racers of the year.

And Fuglsang and Alaphilippe as the best one-day racers of the year. :D

The year is not even half done dude ;)

Let's see how the tour, vuelta and il lombadia goes.
