I'm starting to wonder what Jumbo will do once the climb starts. Surely WvA can't ride the climb as fast as the group behind but it's quite a long time until gradients start where Vingegaard can realistically drop Pogacar. Will Vingegaard just pull Pog up the climb with no fear of a counter attack? Or will Pog maybe start to collaborate?
Think Contador vs Rasmussen

Pog should just sit on the wheel, if he can hold on. Make Jumbo second-guess themselves about the upcoming stages.

If he gets dropped... then it is what it is.

I thin Wout will pull until the steep part starts with about 5 km to go.

With all respect to Powless, this is him in the chase group.

Vinge will keep pushing and get Purito’d is my hope.
