The story to be told at this point is the fight for the GPM. The jersey changed because Rosa crossed the top first, so of course that is the most important development to show.

If the pace was furious behind and many riders dropped or suffered, that would be worth showing too, but that has not happened.
We’re just asking for a little more balance so we can observe for ourselves what and why thing are not happening in the peloton. The ration on this climb I would estimate has been something like 95% of the time on the breakaways.

Bahrain is a bit hurt atm and Bike Exchange is the most negative racing team in bike racing history, so it is what it is
Bike Exchange will ride to set up a Yates attack if he's feeling good or do nothing if he isn't, is that negative? I'm thinking more about the likes of Buchmann, Buitrago, Taaramae etc. Use them while they're still well placed because that probably won't last.

So there was just an example of why some of us want to see more of the peloton. They switched over the a brief view of a group off the front of the peloton in the descent. You could say “hey, they showed us what’s happening” but what we saw was the outcome, not how it happened . . . Not only who initiated but who was the one who let the wheel go in front of them. It doesn’t matter to me that it came to naught—I want to see the dynamic of the racing.

They literally showed Rosa for 1,5 seconds and switched back to the peloton. Why are they so obsessed with the peloton?!

1 minute gap and still we are denied any vision of the peloton. I mean just a little guys, come on. The break is practically irrelevant now

Yes, I am interested exclusively in the general classification. Allways and forever. In all races
