Peleton just took it tranquilo. Makes sense with a TT tomorrow and Tourmalet Saturday.

In fact, when the two Bahrain-Merida sports directors were asked why Dennis had abandoned, neither of them had an explanation, with French television reporting that before climbing off the Australian had been arguing with his team car.

sounds like Dennis went

Really weird. Especially the day before a TT that he would be the ovewhelming favorite to win.

Apparently the team still don't know why he quit. Just stepped off the bike and said he didn't want to talk about it. Super weird.

Rohan has baggage. Talented...yes! Head case...yes! Tomorrow is the race of truth. It’s too bad some of the favorites got their shite pushed in before the rest day. What a beating they received on Monday. I’m hopeful that there will be some attacking in the mountains, But this might be all but over after tomorrow. Fingers crossed something brings this race together outside of hoping JA can hang on, cause that goes against logic.
ETA: there’s a reason sky/ineos wins tours...they don’t get caught with their pants down very often! Having good riders helps as well.

Is there any reason they don't wear the aerodynamic helmet for every stage?

They wear aero road helmets for every stage except for the most mountainous of stages. The problem with tt helmets is the lack of ventilation and weight for stages that are not itts or ttts

Aero road helmet

TT helmet. See the differences

We're talking small differences, but when wearing the helmet for hours on end, it matters.

I had a feeling it was because of something like this.

Great info, thanks for the knowledge.
