Yes, it is after all stage 1. After making it through apparent disaster, no desire to go too deep already.I dont think that was the reason; Pog didnt want to pull Roglic all the way and Rogla didnt want to do a pull
Thank God. No one wants to see that happen that way.Dawg made it!!!
Thomas, Tao and Carapaz
You don’t win the tour winning this stage, they came home in the first bunchwhere is the Ineos "machine"
unlike Ala some of them have to think about GCHe would have been delivered to the bottom of the climb by his team and who was missing from the reduced peloton who could have beaten him?
He minced WVA, vdP, Roglic, all of them.
There would have been more domestiques who I don't think would have allowed for him to attack from so far out. But yeah, he likely would have won anyway.He would have been delivered to the bottom of the climb by his team and who was missing from the reduced peloton who could have beaten him?

Guys we did it. The UCI solved crashes
wow Colbrelli must've completely blown up, nowhere to be seen.
What did he do ?LOL at Quintana following team orders! Just like Valverde he will never lose time on purpose.
Didn't have the legsI don't understand why MVdP didn't follow Alaphilippe, I don't think he even tried. That would have been the absolute clear split to go all out to make imo.
