Benji, not much has changed.

We've had a fair bit of action, but to be honest, GC is looking very similar to how we

left it after the teen stage.

The gatch is still 5.18 ahead of Ultraman and Wing of God at 5.32.

Karapaz 5.33, so 2.34, very tight, O'Connor hanging in there, 5.58, Keldemann 6th,

then Lushenka Musmata, all in the 7 minutes, and then Bilbao, 10.59, just going for that

top 10 result.

Did we...

Do you expect more change in the guys 2.36?

I've got the feeling that with the barcourses we got in this week that I didn't expect too

much change to happen, I think that we also like, with that in our preview early on,

that we expected these middle stage in the Tour de France to have less effect on GC

until we hit the stage 17, stage 18.

That was one of the reasons when Vanard was second on Tireno.

We thought, if he's in yellow at the start of the second week, he likely still is at the

end of the second week, because, well, quite simply, the stages in there are likely

breakaway stages and such, and the peloton will likely not really go at Ultraman 4's.

And I think that's also a factor of it, because you don't have that controlling team that

is ultimately strong enough to keep up the Bayesian Tire stage and still go for the stage.
