On day like today where it takes a while, it can be a lottery who gets into the break.

Are Ineos and Arkea planning something with all these riders in the break, or are they just after a consolation stage win?

Bernal almost got dropped in the beginning, so they are stage hunting. I guess Arkea too, but there might at least be a 1% possibility of an attack.

In KOM watch, unless Rolland makes it up, I think fair shot Cosnefroy keeps the jersey. Pacher would need to take both 2nd cat and the first cat I think

Would be amusing if after all the mano a mano battles between Sagan and Bennett, Trentin manages to steal the green from both in the end.

Maybe an Uran attack together with Martinez on the Moucherotte. Bettiol and Powless to work on the flat, Uran to gain minutes and take yellow on the last climb.

Absolutely. Was that in 2017 when he won that Giro stage and that already felt like a turning back of the clock. Now this Tour is a really pleasent surprise

It would be extremely funny and it’s not impossible. If Sagan starts to get half hearted about it and Bennett has a serious bad day in the mountains...

True but I don't understand why he didn't attack when Benoot and Pedersen went. I think this stage just suits him really, really well

Dennis Ritter - a while ago - presenting the Rolland group:
"Tiesj Benoot; winner of Strade Bianche. Pierre Rolland; double Tour de France stage winner on Alpe d'Huez and La Toussuire. And Casper Philip Pedersen... from Stenløse."

Either the (new) Sunweb approach: Don't let one rider stand out. Or Hirschi for the sprint in case they get the break back.
Or a sign towards Hirschi in case Cancellara wants to bargain...

Worst one from a "killing the spectacle" perspective was Radioshack blocking the road to prevent any Frenchmen getting in the break on Bastille Day in 2010. That didn't even have a purpose as they had no GC interest. Paulinho at least won the stage from that breakaway to give them something.
Worst one from an "unsporting behaviour" perspective is probably the Rabo rolling roadblock in the 2014 Giro Rosa, which was pretty bad, though despite the protestations of Abbott's American support, even if Mara dropped Vos, no way she took the near 2 minutes she needed on PFP that day.
