Uran should have brought his EF helmet like Bettiol so I don't constantly have to re-check the startlist

Uran has still got a very good sprint on him if Wouts utterly wrecked.

Hmmm the final "climb" is 2.2 km at 4.6%. I don't think this one is gonna be decided uphill

Yes, at first I thought the broadcast graphics were loving up when they named him, but he's definitely in there now

I think Carapaz and Mcnulty have got this now. I dont think they'll get them back.

If I saw that correctly, McNulty got his attack in just before the feed zone at the low cost of not feeding. Let's see how that one plays out for him

Not a fan of the soigneurs not handing out bottles to anyone that wants one. I know its for a different team but you'd always get one from a car in a proper race.

McNulty is a TT guy, if there's any chance of a gap he probably should be going long if possible

Theres no way they close 45 seconds in 15km on this terrain. You'd need Van Der Poel at Amstel Gold levels of effort.

More like 8km given that there's still a lot of pedaling descent to go
