4 94-riders in the front is pretty impressing alone. Crazy win by Mohoric. Louis Meintjes was maybe the strongest rider today, but amazing downhill by Mohoric. Bronze to Sondre Holst Enger is pretty good, and also 16th to the youngest participant in the race, Odd Christian Eiking.

I dislike how far back Meintjes is sitting.
Turns out I don't know s much about cycling as he does
Herklotz proved me wrong as well
Though I don't know what he could have had left if he stayed in front earlier.
Remember he is the only rider in the Top 25 who was dropped TWICE over a climb!

How can you conclude that Meintjes was the strongest rider today? Mohoric soloed his way up to Alaphilippe. Then crushed Alaphilippe, and then crushed Meintjes. Despite being on the attack for a significantly longer period of time than Meintjes.
They were the two strongest riders, and Enger was the smartest, according to strength/lack of strength. The danish riders was the shittiest.

I mean that he looked as the strongest one. Mohoric did not crush Meintjes with his strength, but on the downhill section. Before that Meintjes did not look to have very much trouble with getting up to him on the long climb. He lost much downhill, bu then chased in some seconds in the steep climb.

Jennings is dropped for South Africa, as is Berhane aparantly.
Not really sure why Jennings was selected. There are other riders i would've chosen above him. Berhane must have had bike issues or a crash of sort.
In other African news:
Johann van Zyl is looking good inside the top ~30. He's riding for Louis Meintjes. Tsgabu Grmay is also looking good, perhaps supporting Louis as well. Louis has a good chance of doing well; especially if things get really broken up on the climbs. He's not gonna win anything, but is strong enough to get a decent result. Merhawi Kudus could perform well too.
