Yeah rough time when the last 10+k are 30ft wide mostly straight roads for a breakaway to stick.

c'mon...the whole team is built around 1 day classics, and small stage races. they are set up primarily to deliver Cav to the finish. they don't really have any real GC contenders do they? of the whole team i would think Rogers was going to finish the highest, maybe Martin?

Despite being "out" of the tour, Rogers isn't out of the tour: https://www.velonews.com/article/94792
