Every time MVDP is getting dropped in the mountains we should remember when Contador guessed him to finish on the podium of the Giro last year.
That was insanity. Though, in fairness, he did have a mountain win in his grasp on stage 17 from the break until he massively blew up, but podium was delusional.

So, what is Jumbo actually doing here?

It is perfectly primed for them to drop the hammer in the next couple of Ks, and then have Vingegaard try to get away 1-2 K from the summit, where WvA is then waiting.

Whether they dare, depends on how Vingegaard is feeling and how courageous the DS is.

Kind of surprised AG2R haven't taken over at any point. Catch Powless and Gall only needs 2 points on this climb to keep the KOM jersey.
