Yates is only 1.22 behind Bernal and moving up slowly on GC. Is he planning something on the last climb?
At least until the Zoncolan. He has been a ninja for the whole race. Not even attacking once.I think Yates is all about saving himself for week 3
At least until the Zoncolan. He has been a ninja for the whole race. Not even attacking once.
But I am actually curious on what is to come. Maybe instead of blowing up he will totally rule the 3rd week.Yeah, it’s been the most un-Simon Yates performance of his recent career. No attacks, no wins, no randomly exploding. Big Haimar Energy.
If a “week” = a 7 day period, then Zoncolan is indeed Week 3. It’s something (though not at all important) never clear. Because GTs are 21 stages plus 2 rest days, is Week 3 the last full calendar week (sun-Sat, or for some of you Mon-Sun), or perhaps Week 3 is the part of the race that follows the 2nd rest day?

Obviously the week starts on Monday, not Sunday.If a “week” = a 7 day period, then Zoncolan is indeed Week 3. It’s something (though not at all important) never clear.

Depends... some calendars count it from Sunday.Obviously the week starts on Monday, not Sunday.
Depends on the Country and culture!Obviously the week starts on Monday, not Sunday.

Or he will continue to ride like this and does a good but rather boring GC. Maybe thats just the trade off he has to deal with to constantly finish high.

No no, there is only one correct way and that's Monday to SundayDepends... some calendars count it from Sunday.
But never from Saturday.
Ha! Yes, I knew I would get that response And your calendar makes more sense (except, I guess, in Biblical terms). If the weekEND is Sat-Sun, then indeed the 1st day of the week should be Monday, c’est vrai?Obviously the week starts on Monday, not Sunday.
I am a software developer, those first 2 stages are in week 0 for me. Besides, there are 21 days of racing, which means 3 weeks, because 3*7==21With the race starting Saturday, that would mean stage 1 and 2 are "week 1" - and the stages after the last rest day would be "week 4"
