It would really need to be ideal for Jumbo to do 1 2 3 today. I feel that they got what they came for today. An impressive win for van Aert. If they want more they can try that tomorrow.
Thanks for the correction.That's a mistaken identification. The 8th and last Jumbo rider is Kruijswijk. Here is a better screenshot where you can see their numbers:

Roglič is on the wheel of Vingegaard, who is on the wheel of Benoot. Laporte is on Van Aert's wheel.
BTW you can also spot Pogi behind Sagan and Großschartner.
lol, there literally is a post in the stage thread which describes Roglic as 'pathetic' yesterday. But whatever, this is the Roglic thread so it shouldn't surprise anyone he has fans in here who look at this from a pro-Roglic position first & foremost. The obvious obviousness of the situation is Rog seems to be the first rider everyone buries at the first sign of trouble. This is true for this forum & especially true for social media as a whole. He has a wild Roglomoter of sorts which swings from "demigod" to "mediocre" all the way down to "completely pathetic" faster than any other rider. Mostly based on anecdotal evidence with regards to the latter.I don't think anyone said it was pathetic, only that it was worse than Vingegaard. But I guess exaggeration is an art.
Jeezus! He tt'd on an ice rink when others had much better conditions...and only lost a few seconds. How much did every crasher lose? That TT course was crazy technical dry or wet and everyone makes too much of those results.Personally I think he's starting the race a bit under-cooked, which could be a good thing if he can survive today. His TT and performance yesterday, whilst not as bad as some people are making out, are a little off his best in my view.
I'm amazed how folks interpret a well-coordinated attack, like JV's today. They caught people out of position, ramped up the speed to the crest of the hill purposely to launch their guy. It worked well. You're a GC guy that sees he is caught out and doesn't want to be the first chump to chase. That's how GC guys conserve energy; particularly when DS and Israel have the most incentive to chase. It was a perfect attack and JV handled the reactions well. They don't always work out but this did. It may mean nothing tomorrow and folks will say the GC guys could have made up more ground on rivals if Wout had not wasted his energy today. They won, retained yellow and put out relatively little energy in the process.Thanks for the correction.
This team needs to make these sorts of power moves stick in the GC fight because despite the headlines "Jumbo powerr!", they got very little as a team. Today would be a good idea to make a real difference in GC on the cobbles but tomorrow's stage (Thursday) 220km slog with a classics-type finish could also work.
It was a bittersweet move, basically, which quickly shifted the conversation away from WvA's stage win to a debate around the legs of his GC leaders. Just because he dropped them.
Apples & oranges of course but this is the sort of stuff that never happens in the Vuelta.
He has no teammates in the TdF.Damn. Roglic was riding smart and strong and then a dumb accident in front of him took him out. What bad luck.
His crash was super hard
You should live in saltI am become salt
Yeah I don't know what to say anymore.He was like 10s behinnd them as well
