It is not that they are not giving breakaways a chance. They are just playing the spreads and odds. We all know there will be breakaways, we just don't know who, and when it will be successful.


Then what about Sagan because as almost indefinite winner of green surely he has a better chance at stage wins than anyone if you wants to reduce the odds.


Talking about stages seems alot of not so long ago GC riders are now riding for stages ...this is where alot of the action could be this year

We have Bardet, Allphillipe,Dan Martin, Adam Yates, Esteban Chaves ,Piere Rolland, ..I'm not sure about Porte /Molema as different media quoting differently

What about Movistar ...they surely are not riding for GC ???

Movistar will ride for neither GC nor stage wins. They'll be riding for a top 15 :p

This has a surprisingly high ratio of high-profile riders as for RNG- you could end up beating half of the player base if only you were able to switch some riders to better suiting days, like for example, switch Viviani and Carapaz around.
