Alaphilippe is 0 threat.

If Alaphilippe starts Granier with 5 minutes ahead and Vingegaard without domestiques Vingegaard can still just drop everyone on Granier and pull multiple minutes back on Alaphilippe.

If Vingegaard drops his chain though he'll need to borrow some bikes from his teammates first before chasing down Alaph.

So he needs his doms, just in case.

Bora pulling for Vingegaard.

No seriously, why are they pretending like you can't give Alaphilippe 3 minutes?

Ineos did this yesterday on the Madeleine. I have no idea why either. They just burned through their own energy & Jumbo is the best team anyway.

PCS' lastupdate of who was pulling was Danny Van Poppel.

It is therefor true that Van Poppel has been dropping all these GC riders on the Col de Granier
