I agree, as well as needing to gain time before the ITT (if it may be needed) i think Bernal likes to attack and make a race excitable for the fans. As he says, he ain't afraid to lose the race by attacking. I hope Evenepoel does something at some point along this race apart from sitting behind waiting for the end stage. He may end up winning the race that way but it would be nice for his fanboys to get excited once in a while. I think we may start to see the reemergence of Yates soon, then they all may have to wake up and play ball.
