well if its fever, whole bora might DNS tomorrowHonestly, a good DS pulls him from the race at this point. Wearing three layers in 28° C...and doing sport whilst feverish is already a bad idea, let alone top sport.
The Langkawimerckx.That's not a sprinter.
That's a legend
I remember that Quintana had a fever in the 2015 Vuelta (he looked dead after the Andorra stage) but he still somehow recovered and finished as one of the strongest riders.Honestly, a good DS pulls him from the race at this point.

Question for the more knowledgeable sprinting types... So, it's pretty clear Ewan's tactic is to always sit on Bennett's wheel, follow his sprint and them spring out from behind him.. He's done it in every head to head so far and will likely do it again today... Can't DQS do anything to combat this? Like leaving a team mate on Bennet's wheel to make it more difficult fir ewan to follow?
If Mühlberger has Covid, surely he would have tested positive on Monday?
Unless Sagan gets a stage win somewhere, this will end up being his most underwhelming green jersey win so far. Not looking anywhere close to his best.
Looked like Morkov had to slow down to avoid accidently beating Bennett to the line.
Well I see plenty of opportunities to drop Bennett if Bora are gonna go all out for it.Well it will be hard to win green.
Especially hindering other sprinters.Nothing Moerkoev does in a sprint is accidental, he is a lead out God
Few has the power and technique to fight off other sprinters (who all want Bennett's wheel in the last k), while knowing exactly when to ease up.

Alaphilippe maybe
