Adam Blyth's shirt on last night's highlights is just spectacularly terrible.

Right, so since the highlights cut out just as they went onto the gravel and then came back after the break there were suddenly gaps to Evanpoel, can someone explain what happened?

He didn't seem to like downhill or corners on gravel

The way the highlights were cut together, there was just suddenly a big gap between the front of the peleton and evenpoel and the rest.

He was dropping back on the gravel for awhile then eventually popped. Excess work caused his legs to go I think. Limited losses pretty well given how early he was dropped so didn't totally blow.

Mader (Ef Education) former stage winner and Masnada (DQS) have both abandoned too now.
Evenepoel I reckon will ship more time in the last week - young and without the legs for the toughest climbs. Vlasov, Caruso, Carthy, Yates and Buchmann are fighting it out for 2nd and 3rd I reckon, assuming Bernal's back doesn't go, or he hasn't shown too much like Yates did a couple of years back.

Breakaway today is the who's who of breakaway usuals (except for De Gendt). Bennett, Ulissi, Vendrame, Bouchard, Campanaerts, Albanese, De Bondt, Ravanelli. They'll want to lose Ulissi before the end.

Don't think any result Evenepoel is a surprise as the commentators said yesterday. If he stays up there and fights great, if he drops well this is his first GT after 9 months away from racing! Impressive enough already.
Bernal knows how to ride and recover, he also hasn't really done what Yates did. Back is what it's about IMO.
