It has been a very interesting stage today.
We began to recognize team tactics to make life harder to Domoulin.
The idea of Quintana, Nibali and Pinot’s teams is to knock up the Dutch and they started today …
The hope is to try to overexert Domoulin’s teammates with the hope of isolating him in one of the mountain stages to try and recover all the gap, plus what they will lose at the last time trial.
Let’s try to do an analysis…
Tom is a boy of 1.90 meters and I do not think he is less than 72 kg; bringing that amount up and down for all the mountains that will have to do, its glycogen consumption will surely be much higher than its direct opponents, so the danger of having a day of non-recovery is the only hope for his 3 competitors.
We’ll see… from today the tournament of ideas started…
We will see what they can do with their heads and legs…
We have fun !!
Let’s hope !
