When was the last time a ProConti rider wore a GT race leader's jersey?
I notice the Astana mechanics aren't bothering to dress up Lopez's bike, like most teams do when their rider gets the lead. But I don't blame them; it'd be a pain to wrap the handlebars in red tape one day, then back in team-issue black the next. Three times in eight stages so far.
EF have managed to get through a stage without losing riders, so presumably they've removed all the spilt salt, ravens, black cats, downward-pointing horseshoes, and broken mirrors from their team bus. In retrospect, I can't imagine what performance benefit they thought bringing those items to a bike race would provide.
Ineos continues to appear to have only marginal interest in the race.
