Why is Uran not wearing an EF helmet?
At least I'm pretty sure it's Uran.
He has Uran's face...

Then again; Fuglsang isn't wearing an Astana helmet either.
And again; pretty sure it's Fuglsang.
He's got Fuglsang's face.

Also... I'd just gotten so used to the Yateses being so nice and easy to tell apart...
IT is EF helmet, but white, not pink
Final 30 km will be fun. Nobody has a teammate here.
Kwiato and Pogi have
 
The thing with Van Aert is that everyone knows he’ll work. He should start tomorrow by getting some wheelsucker reputation because otherwise he’ll spend a career pulling other to wins
This was one of the problems the British team had in 2012, if Cav had hidden his form a bit, they might have found more collaboration in chasing, but because he had been so strong beforehand, every other team bar possibly Germany didn't like their chances from the sprint, and so it changed the race completely. Van Aert at least can do it over multiple terrains, but his exploits at the Tour obviously will stop a lot of people from being willing to collaborate.

He'll just bring every attack back and win. He learned from Imola last year. He knows now that he shouldn't get dropped.
