I’m really surprised they didn’t position Ganna to do what Stuyvens did, but to the line. A few pundits were predicting that and it seemed like better odds than Kwiato.

I'm not sure Ganna would be able to hang with the front group over the Poggio. He's not very explosive as a rider.

Kwiatkowski has won MSR, and finished on the podium, so he was their best bet yesterday. He just didn't have the legs when it mattered, which happens.

Ganna’s Giro climbing was impressive, but can’t remember the profile of that ascent. Maybe he’s been focussing on different goals since then. Kwiato’s previous MSR wins and podiums are less informative, to my mind, than his form in the last few weeks.
