Nah. If he has it then it doesn't affect him much anyway, such stage. If he doesn't have it then he will crack, eventually. Still, in my opinion today he will need to stretch his legs a bit. We'll see.

UAE doesn't have the team to just chase everything all the time with this team, and other teams are too scared (hello Roglic), so I guess this makes sense. Question is then why other team didn't try to put more and better riders in the break, because this break is just some weak sauce.
Vingegaard is playing for time, not putting any fatigue in his legs whilst his form is uncertain is a mistake, you want him gone before week 3. Today it's fine to do this I think but they won't want it being a reoccurring theme.
i think "nothing" is precisely what a GC team is supposed to do in the first week of a grand tour

OK I give you that
However, if we are to go further down the OT track:
My heart has been divided equally between motorsport history and cycling history for +45 years.
I haven't touched console games since 1978, but have too won historical sim racing series (mods recreating the eras of thick soul in motorsport) and something that can *** my heart is when commentators clearly move outside their field and make sense of something they don't quite know ready facts about.E.g. I think the 3 Danish Esp commentators should just give it full throttle around the Enzo é Dino Ferrari track on their road bikes and then feel in their legs whether it is one of "the flatter courses".
What people believed they are getting out of this Tour edition.
What people are actually getting out of this Tour edition.
Pog want to beat Vinge in the 3rd week when Vinge is at his strongest. To prove he is the best.

Happy days here

I am enjoying it too, will take the sound out of your video and combine it with the actual racing. Beautiful.
P.S. If Rogla doesn't lose any time today, then it's perfect.

I mean, it‘s sensible, Red Bull want the race to stay close so it‘s more nervous and Roglic crashes out so when the other favorites are underwhelming, Roglič fans can claim that Roglič is the moral winner.

Any thoughts here whether GC pack will wake up at the Montecalvo climb?
Or is it the heat which makes them snore like Garfield in his box?

Vauquelin is a top rider, Pacher and Laurance are great, Oliveira has been close before, Teunissen is a TDF stage winner
it's a strong break

Why doesn't one team simply chase down the breakway and burn all their riders whilst nobody else does anything? That would be smart

Quoted for inevitable metaphysical truth
I'd much rather see rogla win this on the road. But I think then the winning GTs morally & retroactively thing would get properly going
