She needs to get a bit of an advantage and she does that.
And the tempo dies in that GC group to the point that even Royce returns, Patrick.
And if you attack on the final climb, then there's less great risk for Vol'ring to be countered on the next climb if she goes all out by the top of this last climb instead, you know?
So that's also the benefit of if you let that situation play out longer, yes, you maybe don't put as much tiredness into the GC group on that second last climb, but once you hit the last one, you might have Dix in there.
And Volring might be more eager to go all-in on an attack than she might on the second last climb where she could get counted on the next one.
That's kind of my thought process there.
But anyway, we start this last Koshta climb, same climb apparently, and Lauren Dixon.
The Rui Costa climb, yeah.
It's his house.
But Dixon was back from the downhill, starts pacing.
Colonel gets caught in that... I think the start of that climb, basically, maybe after Voulting attacks, but I'm not sure.
But the attack came from Voulting.
There were maybe three riders that could follow, I think.
Niedermeyer, van der Breggen, and Holmgren.
Is that fair?
There was a chasing group with ELB, maybe Fischer Black.
Yeah.
Royster loses 50 seconds in the span of this climb.
And especially if you take a look at that final descent, because to be clear, these four riders go over the top.
Volring, Niedermeyer, Anne van der Breggen and Holmgren go over the top of this climb.
