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.
