So what's the deal with Tao coming in nine minutes down today? I thought he was supposed to be the 'protected rider' for Ineos--are they going for stage wins so that he needs to be behind for the race to let him go in breakaways? Or was there a crash, or was he simply not that good?

How hot was it? He has lots of problems in the heat last year at the Vuelta, so maybe it was a repeat of that.

Either way, the more we see of Ineos racing without Froome, the more it becomes apparent that he's the driving force behind the team's high standards. Without him they underperform.
