Jumbo have strangled so many races this year, either by being extremely overpowered or by these hyper-negative tactics.

Watching Mas immediately panic when he ends up on front in a chase rather than having a wheel to follow is hilarious.

Jumbo police too strong.
They're really not. Only Vingegaard is there for Rog but they're just refusing to attack all the same.

Makes especially little sense if Jumbo are willing to just send Vingo up the read with a small group and also considering Evenepoel keeps getting dropped on the steep pinches and he's still 2nd in GC.

He's not going to lose a full minute in 10k to a reduced bunch. Or he needs to be completely empty but he doesn't look like he's fading.

UAE should fully commit on chasing Lafay with Ulissi there but hey UAE without Pogacar is just some really strong individuals so

EDIT: looks like theyre coming to the front.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see QS just hammer it for Ala if it's close enough tbh. They can burn Vansevenant and then use Remco and I think he's quite capable of eating a lot of this given relative freshness.

e: didn't even realise Ulissi is there so that's 2 teams with numbers who could fancy this
