An ancient Haussler is probably a better option...Yeah not very smart riding for a climber here.
Still a few doms up the road, right?Peloton dont have many doms left that can help. It is up to the favorites to cooperate to bridge the gap to the group in front.

Yeah he does way too much in a lot of races, especially in monuments, where pure threshold and intrinsic ability are often less decisive.WvA really has to learn, as the top favourite, with that jersey, he 'd be better to hide a bit further in that group or nobody wants to pull in the peloton.
He is too much 'present', imho.
