I think he was challenged, but heavily assisted by other dumb ass riders!
I believe it was the queen stage in TDF stage 9 last year when bardet had gotten away and the other morons to include uran, aru, the other Astana rider all helped Chris to catch up to bardet!
Instead of making Chris bend himself backwards to catch up; they happily assisted him by taking turns pulling to catch up to vardet and losing Z-E-R-O time!!!
But let it be anyone else under any other circumstances and nobody helps... ex: giro 2017; TD was losing a lot of time to pinot but nibali and NQ did N-O-T-H-I-N-G to help TD to catch him and they shouldn't have
I don't now what it is, riders feel compelled to help Chris one way or another but surely try screw over anyone else!
Speed kills unless you have speed skills!!!
