Climb starts.

First one.

There's still a peloton in front.

There's still domestiques.

You know X. They pulled this stunt in Basque Country, Benji.

So should this be a surprise anymore?

Bora did this in Liège.

You know X do this in every stage race they can where Johansson has a shocker early and then they put the whole team with him in the break and then they take all the time back.

Like, they were going as quick as the peloton.

Ineos was smashing with Dupluss.

They're running out of numbers.

Decathlon have given up.

I was like, why are you breaking the momentum?

You know Exeter's going to ride for Johannes' GC.

And then...

I was thinking, like, just go for Tuckwell's GC full.

So I was like, this is disrupting the rhythm because Amaral was getting dropped and then he got dropped from the attack and then it stopped so much he came back and then it was flat across.

So I was really surprised to see that on the first climb.

I was also surprised at this point not to see, like, the panic setting in at other teams.

The peloton?
