OK, so have changed my mind quite a bit since
my post this saturday.
My conclusion based on Tourmalet finish was that Sepp seemed to be the strongest going into 3rd week anyway, and PRimoz just ahead of Jonas, hence my logics were status quo on the top 3 order in Madrid and everyone satisfied.
Later I learned Jonas had serious gastrointestinal health issues during entire 1st week. Which makes his effort at Arinsal finish/stage 3 even more impressive with his 2nd just behind Remco, and post stage mentioning he felt uncomfortable, now learning there was more into that.
Then add Jonas is now in 3rd week stuff, fully recovered feeling well, i.e. Jonas home territory, as backed up when he asked Sepp the other day on Tourmalet "Do you feel well?" (yes) "OK, I feel REALLY good!", continually asking Sepp if it was OK with him that he went scout hunting in advance. So no doubt Jonas has become really ambitious and now resents his 1st week and doesn't want to drop it all on the floor.
In addition, on my day off, I have now spent a few hours skimming through all the interviews from Sepp Kuss, I can only read sincere honesty from all his answers and behavior that he really believes that all three of them have the chance - and that he doesn't feel bad about the situation if/when he were to lose the jersey.
In addition, I have been following up on all of Primoz's interviews since Xorret de Catí. It sounds like he feels uncomfortable and drained of energy after the stages, most recently the day before yesterday where he gave the impression that he is just looking forward to when they are in Madrid.
So I must say that I have turned my view of the internal trinity on its head.
However, I still think it's wide open between the three, or at least now I think it's open, where on saturday I would say the 1-2-3 pecking order by then would be fixed to Madrid.
It is also very possible that Primoz has in fact saved it all for today (now my personal hopes are coming back, I can feel it, I don't know how realistic it is), so I think the tension is intact.
It is also very exciting to find out which episode of Benny Hill as non-Team UAE will deliver us today. We've been really gifted here lately.
It may well be that Kuss showed a bit of weakness yesterday against Bejes, but I doubt he will loose it all to Ayuso and Mas.
