  • It’s worth noting that UAE have two stage wins plus 5 days in yellow, compared to Jumbo-Visma who’ve yet to win a stage and have just taken the yellow jersey.

    I don’t agree on the UAE climber point, they were too far back yesterday when Kelderman accelerated, but so was pretty much everyone else, but before that they’d been present and correct.

    I do think it’s odd that they’ve come to the Tour without three of their best climbers; Ayuso, Almeida and Vine, though.

  • Hmm it wasn’t so long ago that 1-2 ing Jonas, was being touted with Yates and Pog.
    It’s a fair point on the wins but Yates was almost by accident. The day before I don’t recall offering much support to Pogacar either.

    As for their others Almeida doesn’t seem viable as a domestique or team rider. That’s not a criticism btw.

    That said Wout seems to be on his own mystical tour at the mo. Maybe they’ll spring something on a less assuming day.

  • Wout almost came off after his effort yesterday. I really don’t see him maintaining this same level of effort, not to mention sacrifice, for the whole tour.

    Wout sometimes looks like if he said "fuck it" and pushed on he could win the tour on his own.
