That’s what happened 2 years ago when Kristoff and Degenkolb went 1-2 on the Champs. All the pure sprinters had been burned off in the mountains, so it was a couple of hard edged veteran classicomanos who fought out the big win.

See my follow up post. He wanted to train for the WCC ITT, the team gave him permission, they didn't force him.Sure, but it shouldn’t be the guy targeting the TT tomorrow
Sounds weird to me.
He can go do that any day, in or out of racing, and he would have a shot tomorrow.
Anyone with connections to German Eurosport? I really want to apply for that cultural commentator's job.
Alrighty then - they're crossing railroad tracks the last 350 m, covered with a sort of mat.
the team actually asked him to stop but he don’t want.
There was so much talk about this huge breakaway that has to form because of the teams that need a stage win, and then nothing happens. I guess some teams just come here to enjoy nature.
It makes a certain amount of sense that teams with an appropriate rider might look at the stage and think a later attack is the way to go, once whichever of Bora and DQS ended up chasing started to tire. But that can’t be the case for many teams. So yeah, who knows what they think they are doing
You think Bol is favourite over Bennett on the champs not a chance he is and neither is Van Aert . Mountain fatigue or not Bennett and Ewan are definitely favourites ahead of those 2 on a flat sprint.
Edit. Sorry I meant to reply to @BlueRoads
Surprised they all just looked at each other on the Cat4. Looks like Sagan and Trentin are betting on the uncategorised climb to the intermediate sprint
You say "Sunweb.' It's actually just Roche. Shots of Hirschi and Benoot et al sitting at the back of the peloton. Honestly no idea what Sunweb are doing, but they've known better than I for most of this Tour, so I won't question it.
At the moment he looks like he might get dropped on a Parisian traffic ramp
