Groenewegen's legs alone weigh more than most grimpeurs. He seems to be listed at 1,78 and 70 kg. No way is he less than 80 kg. (If he's really 70 kg at 1.78-1.8 M then he should be making it over that 5% gradient climb easily)
To be fair, it was hot and humid; maybe on a cooler day he survives the climb. They were within 32 seconds at one point but just couldn't close the gap...
I was really impressed by Wout and Jumbo. BEX and Ineos did 99 percent of the work for them and got nothing to show for it.
Wout & Jumbo look very sharp. Whenever they had to replace themselves or bridge a gap, they were on point. Also, considering WvA's real sprint improvement since the classics & how Roglic was at the same training camp in Sierra Nevada (& probably has similar improvements in his own form), I'm thinking Rog might have a little fun stomping the rest of the field in GC because why not.
I can't see a stage profile suited to Groenewegen though, at all. He needs something super flat with a super lead-out. This Dauphiné is just not it.
