I am wondering if Jumbo isn't just worn out ... threes Grands Tours for Sepp Kuss, so much dependence on Vingegaard after he just went all-out in the Tour, Roglic looking tired .... I know it doesn't matter how strong Evanapoel looks in the first week, it matters who has the legs in the final week .... but the pace is so hard, can people "ride into form" like they used to?

I would dearly love to see Sepp Kuss in red with a three-minute lead.
I don't think Jumbo is worn out yet.
