Powless is the story that has kept me most engaged.

I previously rooted for Alpecin-xx and have loved watching MvDP become the best lead-out man in the business - move over Morkov!- but all of Philipsen's wins are tainted by relegation or tactics that just skirted relegation. That turns me off.

The best part of the GC battle so far was Jai Hindley's brief leading role.
