People can talk about lack of dope creating less action, but the main reason for the less action today is that the leader's jersey can always count on everybody placed 4-10th in GC being his domestiques whenever number 2 or 3 in the GC attacks. Attacks are more difficult.

That has nothing to do with dope and everything to do with WorldTour points.

The way Dumoulin dropped back along the side of the group to look at everyone before attacking--like Riis on Hautacam (although he did not continue the attack).

Now suddenly you have legs, Nairo?
Still playing the long game I think. Wasn't worth digging deep to gain 20 seconds today when there are bigger gains to be had later in the week.

Idiotic by Dumoulin wasting energy like this.


A show of strength, destroy the morale of Nairo and Nibali
Makes no sense at all to go hard though. Nairo and Nibali have already given up for today. He should be riding as conservatively as possible.

I love how Dumoulin is trolling DFA. How wrong was that guy about Dumoulin.

Not over yet, but yeah, the predictions and especially the constant belittling of Dumoulin like he's even a factor in the race isn't looking very prophetic right now.

:confused: I'm sure Dumoulin has bigger things on his mind. He'll still crack in the next two days.
