Not if Sagan, Viviani and Gaviria survive. Last climb is the hardest. Let's see what happens.It looks like more and more like a puncheur day.
Bevin. Felline, Ulissi, Honoré, Consonni. These riders come into play.
Judging by the Carapaz incident, he is out. I think doing that is not even intentional or concious in the heat of the race after years doing it.Eh... do we now have a yellow card rule or is he out?

Tactical decision for Bora now. The more they keep the pressure on the fewer guys they will have to chase attacks.
I think it's "yellow card" in stage races, immediately in one day races.
But... please don't shoot me if I'm wrong...
It looked like there was a sligthy bigger part of Pellauds butt still touching the saddle than Carapaz in LBL.It surely wasn't on purpose. But since they DQd Carapaz, if they didn't change the rule, I wouldn't know how they could not DQ him, even if I hate it.
I'd say it depends on Sagan's condition.Tactical decision for Bora now. The more they keep the pressure on the fewer guys they will have to chase attacks.
I'll take a bullet for you!I think it's "yellow card" in stage races, immediately in one day races.

That hard section coming so late is good for Sagan though. Attackers have to drop him on the easier early section if they want to have enough of a gap at the top.The last climb is pretty tough. I wonder if even Sagan could be dropped?
