Taking out the final 2.2k puts the non-headwind section closer to the finish, so it might actually be a net positive for the racing in these circumstances.

There is no combination of rider and race that is greater than Marc Soler at the Volta a Catalunya.

Maybe he is at the front so Visma doesn't chase?
Although with most of the big teams having a rider ahead, there's not many teams left to chase.

Visma will probably still want it to come back together for Vingegaard, but they should be very happy if Red Bull doesn‘t call their bluff.
They should test Thin/Fatco on the Coll de Fukuyama just to check which iteration he came to the race as.

Why? If Evenepoel is bad enough to get dropped there, he will crash and burn on the MTF regardless.

'It may well turn out that he's a one-day rider' – Former manager Patrick Lefevere questions Remco Evenepoel's racing priorities
'He should have been in San Remo and should also have ridden Flanders or E3' says former team boss

Lefevere's always going to be Lefevere'ing, but I reckon he may well be right this time (assuming there isn't a change back to a few properly long ITT's in the Tour.)King Patrick with a strong take.

You put long TTs and the best he can get is still a 3rd position. And I'm not even looking to riders who will probably improve significantly in the next 2 years (e.g. Seixas, Del Toro).

It's pretty damn rare these days to see a break this strong.

The old man is right. Evenepoel is skipping too many big classes. He's a one day racer at heart.
As for today, great news that this stage was only slightly shortened. Its queen stage status is preserved. The final climb is still a substantial challenge and should produce interesting action.

Soler still riders to support his leader (Marc Soler) though.
