I don't know I feel like if those 2 go no one can follow anyway, so I don't know how much of a difference it would make. Definitely another 2 exciting weeks ahead.

JV is spending guys to make it hard earlier in the climbs. If they didn't have kuss rip everyone's legs off pacing he could stay with them later probably same with other top tier climbing domestiques (and if they only cared about tour they would definitely have had roglic here). I thought today it was a mistake pacing so hard because they could have forced pogi to attack Jonas while he still had domestiques. It's super interesting because they're so finely matched it's not clear what the best strategy is and it probably changes day to day.
