Coquard definitely wins. Having taken the lead yesterday, he was smart enough to simply not be in the front of the Boucles de L'Aulne today.

And with 23 he also got more than Almeida had when he cracked, so there's no doubt about it.

I hope Coquard finally gets that first major victory. He's off to a great start.

And I decided to back the right rider for once.

Even though I'm happy for him, I'm also a bit disappointed with Coquard. But if you have to go out eventually, it's obviously better to do it early on instead of going nuclear when your name is already written on the trophy, like Almeida did.
