Tired cliche, but the truth all the same, cycling is an individual sport that is practiced as a team. In teams, we think of the maneuvers put in place by each formation, from the Quick Step which seeks to deposit its sprinter Jakobsen in an armchair, to the Jumbo Visma which places its pawns as in a game of chess to protect its leader Vingegaard. But beware, there is a fact of the race where the strategies of each other are forced to give way to the laws of gravity. The mountain, yes, does not make a distinction between the badges and the colors of the jerseys when it decides to quarter the peloton.
