Might be right.

 

I saw Peter Sagan battle to just get his chain back on his back over the weekend. Support car pulled in and got it done in a couple of seconds  :clap:

I saw that too and thought I'm surprised he couldn't get it on himself....

Scott about 6:42 min behind cannondale with 5km to go for cannondale

Hmm, let's see in the past what the tracker says and the time over the line is normally not 100%

I don't really care what how where when... What it has done is turned, what looked to be a snorefest of a race and blown it wide open.

 

3 days in, massive lead, pure dominance.. oops... look at that! Race is on!

 

Almost like it was scripted.....

Yeah, new leaders. But not due to own skill and form

Well it is. They didn't puncture. So part of the 'skill' of racing is body management and kit management.

 

It's an 8 day race. Getting to the end fastest IS the skill

They beat a whole lot of other teams that did not puncture either, or is this just a little bit of bias?

Cannondale spent a lot of time in the mountains around Grabouw, and they will have done Groenlandberg as well, this may or may not have prepared them and helped them to not puncture there.
