Everyones plan went to pot stage 1
It depends on your viewpoint – it seems to be going very well to plan for the top 6 and their teams. Especially for Gregoire and Alaphilippe and their respective teams. I'd never have guessed Alaphilippe to be so well placed.
If you'd made a list of the main contenders before the race began, it probably would have included 6 or 7 of the current GC top 10, just you'd have expected Almeida, Gall and Onley to be ahead of Gregoire, Vauquelin, O'Connor, and Castillo.
Only Geogehan-Hart, Vlasov and (especially) Powless are much farther back than you'd have anticipated.
