Another top-10 for Wilco!

20s into Skjelmose is hardly crushing everyone, as people were talking about yesterday

Skjelmose is a very strong rider in these watts per kg tests, his weakness are the stages with more altitude gain like Thursday stage. This is why he was by far third best today.

Riccitello doing a great MTT once again after his Giro one last year, Pidcock and Martinez also really good. Bernal and Mas a bit disappointing though I believe these kind of efforts are less suited to them
 
Wilco lost 1.40 minutes to Almeida. Visma will have a tough Tour
Wilco will be like the fourth/fifth guy, if he goes to the Tour. He is in enough shape to get the job done.

It's not like adam yates or Almeida showed a better level than Jorgenson in the Tour. Kuss was sick, but he will be again the best super domestique in the world if necessary on the last week.

What we can conclude is that, Emirates, Bora and Visma have super good domestiques for the Tour, who can make the race hard or doing a trap to the rival teams(just like Kuss in the Vuelta). They have a lot of firepower.

But in the end, the winner of the Tour will be like always the most strong leader.
