Quite a few teams missing out that should be in the breakaway. Wanty, Movistar, Jumbo... someone like formolo or oliveira from UAE. But I think a lot of riders tried and the big teams neutralized each other. So th next part of the race will be pretty dull. I would guess a rider from the gc group wins.
 
Big peloton with Ewan in it, so only small groups behind. If Cav is far behind, it's going to be a very long day.
If PCS is correct the average speed is only like 30km/h so far, which even given the climbing start, is really slow.

It's a long day because everyone is gonna go slow for the next 100km, not because Cav needs to go balls to the wall to finish inside the time limit.
