Two cards to play
The Belgian team doesn’t seem that well equipped for the overall classifi cation.
Maxime Monfort and Jelle Vanendert are a bit long in the tooth, and Tiesj
Benoot hasn’t managed better than 20th in two appearances. The team’s focus
will be on stage wins with Caleb Ewan in the sprints and, for the rest of the time,
on Thomas De Gendt. He’s a real boon to them. He never shies away from hard
work. I imagine that being in a breakaway with him is a pleasure at fi rst, but his
strength can destroy his opponents at the end of a stage. He is in the mix for
the polka-dot jersey even though he’s not the best climber.
