Paulinho was nearly disgraceful a week ago in Ponferrada. Look at him now, soon to be the last man standing from a breakaway at Lombardia...

The route is way too easy this year. I hope they change it for next year and bring some proper hard climbs back between 70 - 15 km to go.

Today he has motivation to ride hard. Contador will benefit from a hard race/chase. At the worlds he had to ride for Rui...

That's mean, he was always decent riding for Portugal. It was a 5 man team so it's normal that some domestiques burn out fast.

Tinkoff is better at motivating ;)

Did Mollema just follow an attack???

Exactly... but he didn't ride for Rui. He didn't manage to stay near Costa in Ponferrada when he should, and now he is berserk here. He didn't give his best a week ago.

Yes Ben Hermans attacked

joined by Weening, Mollema and an AG2R rider, but Weening took a lead in the descent already

Probably because Rui isn't very well liked, unlike Contador.
