Too bad they made him stop. I would have loved to see Remco ride through the fire.
So is this better or worse for Remco, this little break he got?
I'd say worse. Getting cooled down when doing an effort is rarely good in endurance sports.So is this better or worse for Remco, this little break he got?
I'd say worse. The hilly part had just started and he was extending his advantage again while the peloton was losing domestiques.
Now all domestiques have rejoined and are rested again.
Did Alaphilippe avoid the crash?Mass crash downhill in the peloton. Darn.
Yes, he's covering Remco in front of the bunch.Did Alaphilippe avoid the crash?

Hermans? That doesn't make sense, does it?
There weren't really any good TT'ers present though. Hermans just rarely has anything to win or defend in a TT, but I do remember him finishing top 5 in a TT in Poland in a pretty decent TT field and finishing podium in the national TT champs so he's probably not too bad at it.Hermans?

There were probably not that many riders on the startlist who did win a TT beforeHe might be a better TT'er than I initially remembered, but this is still the first TT win of his career.
