Think tomorrow will be the time for the Hail Mary, looks like a longer version of that Contador/Rolland stage in 2011(?) a little too early in the race today perhaps with this being the first big mountain. Long descent/valley for the Galibier so TJV/Ineos would need at least 2 strong riders up the road for it to work.
Big train, Vingegaard puts a minute into Pogacar. I think he's in insane form, looked so easy in the Dauphine, another poster was right comparing him to someone who's just got released from 5 years in a forced labour camp.
Geriant Thomas to not lose minutes, think he's actually quite good at these climbs, a bit underrated, might be cynical but I think he's going to be looking at Mas rather than the top 2. Movistar and Ineos are going to irritate many here by chasing down a Roglic attack at some point in the next 2 weeks as well (which objectively they should do IMO).
