It will be interesting to see what JV will do. They can’t expect Kuss to play the supporting role while he’s that much ahead, no?

I think that Evenepoel will go for a breakaway if he has the legs today. He’s so much behind now…

Beforehand, I picked today for Wout Poels in the vuelta game I do, no real reason other than he likes tough stages and I want a Dutch win.

I agree that Remco will go stage hunting eventually. But today? I'd assume whatever hampered him yesterday will do so today, as well. Maybe take it slow for a day, recover, lose a bit more time to have a solid breakaway ticket in stages to come?

I think he's lost enough time already to not be marked, but surely he won't have the legs to win even if he got into the break.

POST RACE EDIT: Well this was a bad call!

Not surprised by it. He’s in the depiction of the phrase: let’s try again tomorrow. Such mental strength for one so young!
