Fast forward to a rider saying the peloton took it easy because there's been a lot of hard racing recently. Hard racing or hardly racing? No one's going to beat the jumbo train by soft pedalling most of the way to Paris.

Sam and him are mates... Doubt he'd want to do that.
This tour has been hard enough already and given the year that's in it I don't think anyone should be trying to ride someone out of the race.

If Sam wants to beat Ewan he should do it on the streets of Paris

No GC rider was going to get away on the first cat. 1 climb, and until the steep cat. 2 they are hitting in a bit, there has been no terrain in which a GC rider could attack, without getting reeled in.

I think you are asking for too much :)

A long range attack here was extremely unlikely of course. But was someone at least trying to make it hard a bit earlier too much to ask? It's as if all the other GC teams are too timid to do anything other than leave it to Jumbo and Ineos.
