Re:

Still 2 with him, hasnt dropped them all

Hirschi is dropped and now it is just Sosa, McNulty and Pogaca

 

[DNP-Old]

McNulty wins.

 

[DNP-Old]

Now they say Sosa wins with a late jump on the line.

Kanter with these guys? Wasn't he dropped quite early?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Hirschi has spectacularly exploded.

 

[Valv.Piti]

What a top 4, we have some great talent on our hands! Lets see when they will race a proper mountain stage instead of such a whacky 30 km stage

Arensman is suprising me tho . He is just 18 and first year U23. And I thought he was a classics rider

Is he Slovenian too?

Some interesting names popped up, others disappointed. Not entirely sure how representative such a short stage is in regards to GC and climbing ability. I mean, better climbers should surface in longer mountain stages compared to guys that might be able to get over one or two mountains, but blow up after 3 or 4.

The Belgians were kinda disappointing...

Re:

Vanhoucke is the only one of them who could feature with the top guys and his whole season was hampered by injury and illness. So it was really no surprise. Maybe he gets a bit better in the next stages.
