General classification:
BTW, Bardet's performance was much better than what I expected from him.
really surprised houle was able to stay in the GC group and help derek gee all the way to the last climb.... if frigo and houle stay in good form to support on stages 19 and 20.... i have a good feeling!
Perhaps he climbed the Mortirolo pass slower than he could have, in order to keep some energy for the easier part after the descent?
