So any thoughts on what Ineos are going to do now? Still with a full team...they've gone quiet after G's abandon....Is Teo the new leader? Or are they "going for stages" Normally when they lose a leader, they are pretty quick with annoucing the change in strategy. Obviously there wasn't going to be a big GC battle on stage 5 when Ganna went off alone. After Pogacar beating all the old guard in the tdf...does Tao have the numbers for the 3rd week? Have to think after the emergence of younger riders in the tdf, that the old guard of Nibali/Fuglsang/Kruijsiwijk might be ecilpsed... Ganna as a last man to launch Tao has to be a plan at some point, right??
I hope he proves me wrong, but I don't think Tao is at the same level yet as those who contest the podium places in GTs. He showed in the Vuelta last year though that he is capable of a stage win at this level so I imagine that is his objective.
