This is the difference between pure sprinters and the more puncheur-ish ones. I wonder if Cavendish will state that the hill was too much for him, or if there were other reasons for him not being present in the sprint.

One of the reasons was definitely that Evenepoel destroyed his chances of being at the front, but Cavendish might have indicated that he wasn't feeling great.
 
Pretty decent gaps between the riders after two sprint stages.

I'm not sure anyone in the top 5 will be able to hold on tomorrow. I know Pedersen won in Vejle four years ago, but I can't really see him replicate that this year. But if he doesn't lose too much time and can take bonus seconds on Friday, he still has a chance, if he puts in a great TT. There's no doubt about who the biggest favourite is though.

I wouldn’t put my money on Pedersen either.
