The underappreciated Teams competition is unusually competitive. The time gap between the top 4 teams at this stage in the race over the last 10 races is as follows:

2014 - 47:44

2015 - 36:07

2016 - 38:59

2017 - 70:50

2018 - 47:43

2019 - 36:22

2020 - 37:43

2021 - 32:02

2022 - 64:39

2023 - 10:22

Jumbo-Visma, Ineos, UAE and Bahrain are in a battle for the ages. And no-one cares.

It's funny, I've noticed the yellow helmets and number tags changing teams a lot this year, so I've been following it. It's been as close as the GC!

The last time I took notice was during the Movistar trident days, when nobody cared except them.
