Rowe dropped Kristoff and Groenewegen. When AG2R took over theres about 30-40 guys left.
The P was only about 50 guys when Rowe and Knees dropped off...

Definitely not. It was probably around 100. Naesen is doing a great job here |

But Paul, Naesen is a much better climber than Rowe, he's actually quite a good one

I missed the super combatitive discussion but I'd just like to say that I really really believe De Gendt should win it (he won't  ) he goes in almost every mountains break and a couple flat ones too, he's often the first rider to attack from the break and never quite has it in him to win the stage, especially last year (or was it 2015) he deserved it more than anybody else (maybe Navarro too) and they just gave it to Nibali for like 1 attack.
Barguil and Contador deserve it too but for I feel like it'd mean the most if De Gendt won it and he is very deserving of it.
I say this but honestly the award going to one of those three would be a good result, I'm calling them picking Mathews just because they can.

Naesen is a better climber than Rowe, but that's like saying in the mountains that one turd smells better than another one.
Can't be Naesen doing pulls if Bardet wants to win. |

Nope except making up 50 seconds on the attackers singlehandedly.
So nothing, really.

Col d'IsSoHard is no joke. You want to destroy the Skyborgs but don't destroy your team too early |

He's not even pulling all the time. So it's not singlehandedly. If ypou mean on the climb, it's easy, when they play cat n mouse...

Landa will be the key one. If Bardet and Uran can manage to get a 1v1 situation vs Froome then its on but Landa is 99% gonna be there all the way.
Maybe make a Vino-esque deal and bribe Landa? |

I would say, that Froome is the key one. If he cracks, Landa can't do shit.
