Looking back over the previous decade it’s amazing to se Kristoff podiumed in 7 consecutive editions of the race (It wasn’t held for 2 years in that span). That’s got to be pretty darn usual regardless of a race’s status?
The first example I can think of is Sean Kelly winning Paris-Nice seven years in a row. Merckx also had seven consecutive P-N podiums (not all victories)

You also have Richie Porte winning on Willunga Hill 6 years in a row and coming 2nd the year after.

Michael Boogerd has been 2nd or 3rd at the Amstel Gold Race various times. But nowhere near 7 times of course.
 
UAE realizing this will be a bunch sprint if they don't do anything.

Just 1 guy tho. It's the usual UAE without one clear leader tactics. Bora too honestly.

There were 20 guys left last year at this moment in the race btw.
 
Should be a bigger peloton again in a bit with an organized chase to then split up again on the last climb. If a group of 10ish riders is gone then and works together the peloton won't see them again.
