Still, that's pretty impressive!

The 2018 Tour de France was pretty surprising actually and to be honest it was quite hard to predict anything. In the Giro d'Italia earlier in the year riders worked very, very hard to limit any breakaways but it was the complete opposite for the Tour. Team Sky were pretty happy for almost anyone to take their place up the road.

Take Stage 15 for instance...

A tough mountain stage with a Cat. 1 climb pretty close to the finish. Strong climbers such as Rafal Majka, Domenico Pozzivivo & Ion Izagirre were in the break and I thought the eventual winner would come from those 3, but somehow Magnus Cort-Nielsen won the Stage (who is effectively a Sprinter!).
