He seems to look ill, or just not where he wants to be form-wise. That little dig he took on the group is the sort of thing that feels somewhat last resort, though on the other hand I suppose it could have been a leg stretcher or educational dig to check out how others react. You never know with him.
 
Anyways, I've said from the start of the season that the marker always would be Couilloile and I still maintain that. Thats the big test, not a murito - it needs to be at least 2 km to get a real indication IMO, altho I agree it wasn't spectacular by no means today.
 
of course. bertie's clearly tuned himself to Couilloile today. straight from the beginning of the final hill it was obvious he wasn't going to compete against henao or allaphilippe in short explosive effort. tomorrow will be a real test, today's stage was just a little prep.
