didn't Großschartner only wait for Almeida after he was dropped anyway?Doesn't help if you let your best domestique wait for Almeida so you can protect his 14th place.
The last climb is hard enough, and the previous ones will be felt in the legs. McNulty is done.Tomorrow isn't bad for Mcnulty and Jorgenson needs to drop him or get bonuses, not a given but Evenepoel will try early I think.
Think the weather is against Vine and Almeida. I have see nothing to indicate McNulty is suffering from his illness, just not his terrain.Can't ask for a much better setup going into the final stage for GC combat, with the current placings. Remco can still win, but Jorgenson is in great position. I think McNulty has done a great job of defending the leader's jersey, but he might still be suffering a bit from the illness he picked up at UAE. Jay Vine didn't look well, today. Same for Almeida. Team flu?
Still impressive to me how much Evenepoel improved his sprint. Can't be that long ago it was considered a bit of a joke?
That's why I'd like Mads Pederson and Jasper Stuyven in my team for that early stage part tomorrow ......race will b won before the last climbIt is very likely the race will be in pieces quite early tomorrow.
Those who have multiple riders could have an advantange.
Both Vlasov and Kelderman looked very good today for their respective teams, which is good for both Roglic and Jorgenson.e
This would be a really good show for viewersI think Remco has this in the bag really. Tomorrow is his type of a terrain and I can't see Jorgenson or McNulty follow him when he launches an attack, and when you get droped on a stage like that you ship minutes. Roglic is too far back and doesn't look explosive enough at all to do something.
Remco didn’t go to altitude yetRemco and Roglic looking whatever again. Especially the latter
Yeah, it’s all about Jonas and Tadej. But we kinda knew that already

What did you expect from Rogla today with Vlasov up the road?Remco and Roglic looking whatever again. Especially the latter

If they are going to have MTFs in the race, I prefer shallow ones. Differences are to be made before the finish.I would wish ASO skipped these 15 km, 6 % MTFs in Paris-Nice and rather prioritized shorter and steeper climbs. Climbs like Utelle are so underwhelming.
Have the others been on altitude?Remco didn’t go to altitude yet
