I'm getting pessimistic about their chances for any wins this tour.
In my book, KOM is worthless.
Uran and Chavez look like they are riding with bags of sand in their jersey!! Nobody will ever know what pressure would have been off had Carapaz not crashed out.

I dunno, their best hopes were always stages 10+12. But yeah Powless seems to be wasting his good form on loosing the polka dot to Felix Gal or the winner of the Cima Coppi on stage 17.

I thought they had a good chance yesterday when Powless was in the break but it seemed he wasn't have a great day

I don't think Powless is climbing well enough to win a mountain stage. And I have some doubts he can even win the polka dots with this shape.
Too many good climbers are already out of the GC and will be in the breaks: Gall, Ciccone, Johnanessen, Skjelmose, Woods, even someone like Landa and Pinot. Won't be easy.

Bettiol and Cort have a shot in the next few stages. Even Shaw could surprise.

The team has been so underwhelming this Tour. None of the riders had to do any work since stage 1, yet they even struggle to make it to breakaways and even if they manage to get there, they are often one of the first to get dropped.

Was that the team that was supposed to support Carapaz' GC podium bid?
