DRESSCODE: JACKET REQUIRED

It’s been a long first nine stages and we’re still not at the first rest day yet; the traditional Monday rest day has been scrapped for Tuesdays and it’s making this first stint a real drag.

That being said, I shouldn’t complain, we’re right where we need to be: still second in GC with Remco [Evenepoel] and no signs of major weakness yet. The pressure is on the rest of the guys to open up some bigger gaps.
