We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Wout van aert is trying to get away with not working and no one's going to drag him to the finish

I still don't feel too hot about a single rider's chances on the racetrack. But maybe the chasing group is dysfunctional enough

They cant catch him before 2km and at that point they'll 100% be focusing on the podium.

Kwiatkowski got his win this year, he doesn't need anything else. Roglic is a wasterman fraud. Hirschi obviously doesn't fancy himself in the sprint. Fuglsang is an Astana rider.

Wout should be doing this on his own.

I’m happy about this result but “attack just over the top of the final climb” feels like far too obvious a plan to have actually worked.
