It is like watching a brilliant circus act, a juggler who keeps seven, eight, nine projectiles in the air while dancing on a variety of obstacles underfoot. The flying objects, in this case, are the usual suspects: Julian Alaphilippe, Wout van Aert, Mathieu Van Der Poel, Tadej Pogačar, Egan Bernal, Adam Yates, and the rest. So far, so fast does the juggler go that, inevitably, in his exhilarating display, some of the flying objects spin out of their controlled orbit. Today it was Adam Yates.
