One step at a time hon, one step (or stage) at a time.
Groenewegen has some issues following his train. And AFAIK Ewan and his train are not all that optimal. In regards to experience and training together.
Hence i am leaning more towards Jakobsen vs. van Aert.
Way to haul that 170 lbs up those hills and battle to stay in the race!

Doesn't help when they go so quick from the start in a relatively short stage
They were sent forward with 4km to go. Indeed so they didn't lose 4 guys to OTL.How come the team wasn’t with him? In case they didn’t make the time cut?
The way the time limit works means that the faster they go on the flat, the greater the time limit. And a fast flat start should take relatively less out of Jakobsen compared to the doms that pace the rest of the stage.Doesn't help when they go so quick from the start in a relatively short stage
Yesterday was a good example of that. Quick-Step was chasing the break on the flat before Aubisque, and in the end of the day all 6 riders were among the last 7 on the stage.The way the time limit works means that the faster they go on the flat, the greater the time limit.
